  • From the CE: Building Back Better: How we’re balancing our efforts on the road to recovery

    The current COVID-19 surges are a reminder that we face a long road to recovery and rebuild of the international education sector, a point highlighted during ENZ’s recent appearance at the New Zealand Parliamentary select committee.

    ENZ remains strongly focused on the goals of the New Zealand International Strategy 2018-2030: sustainable growth, an excellent education and student experience, and increased global citizenship for New Zealand students. It is important that we rebuild with those goals front of mind.

    At ENZ, we are fully committed to supporting other agencies and the sector in progressing the re-entry of students. ENZ staff have been seconded to other government agencies here and overseas to support these initial steps towards the recovery.

    We have been increasingly asked about the place of ‘transformation’ within our recovery. The simple answer is it complements and reinforces our ability to attract students to New Zealand in the future.

    This work enables us to connect with education partners and students that we otherwise wouldn’t reach. The work is about growing the pie for all the international education sector and for New Zealand, rather than competing with existing efforts.

    Through this work we will collectively be more competitive in attracting students as student mobility opportunities emerge, and in anticipating the accelerating changes in the delivery of and learner engagement with education globally.

    Although each part of the Government’s Recovery Plan may progress in different ways at different times, we are committed to progressing them collectively and for the benefit of our sector as a whole.

  • EIT signs MOU with Sunway University in Malaysia

    The MOU, signed on 27 May at a ceremony at Sunway University in Selangor, Malaysia, will see the two institutions working together to promote education pathways and short-term student and teacher exchanges.

    New Zealand High Commissioner to Malaysia, Hunter Nottage, said he welcomed the new collaboration agreement.

    “It’s fantastic to see a New Zealand institution enter into this agreement with a Malaysian university, and I hope this new partnership offers Sunway University students an opportunity to experience a New Zealand education,” Nottage said.

    EIT International Marketing Manager, Helen Kemp, said the MOU would pave the way for collaborations between the two institutions, particularly with art and design qualifications.

    “This is a great opportunity for bringing together New Zealand and Malaysian cultures and ideas that could benefit the design community as a whole,” Kemp said.

    “Sunway students in Malaysia who complete a two-year Diploma in Design will now be able to pathway into the EIT Bachelor of Creative Practice in New Zealand.”

    Market Manager – Malaysia and Philippines, Desiree Lee, said the education relationship between Malaysia and New Zealand has continued to develop over the last 70 years.

    “The first Malaysian students arrived in New Zealand in the 1950s under the Colombo Plan, and they returned home to make a big impact in Malaysia and on the world stage. Since then, the education relationship between the two countries has continued to develop with a steady growth in the number of Malaysian students in New Zealand,” Lee said.

    “International collaborations and academic mobility between New Zealand and Malaysian education institutions are a great way to raise institution profiles but also to strengthen diplomacy and trade links over the long term.”

    The MOU signing was followed by a discussion on possible areas of collaboration between Sunway University’s School of Arts and EIT’s IDEAschool, including short-term student and staff exchanges.

  • Explore women’s leadership journeys at NZIEC

    In a Q&A format, the lunchtime session will see panellists sharing lessons on what they have learned during their career pathways to senior leadership positions, including the challenges they have faced and the opportunities they have created and seized. They will also aim to impart strategies for other women to follow in their steps.

    The panel is supported by the Global Leadership League (GLL), an organisation focussed on advancing women’s leadership skills, knowledge and connection in international education.

    Dawn Hewitt, Director, Global Groups (Australasia) for the GLL, says that regardless of their professional positions and experience, women in the industry have lots to offer.

    “The GLL is underpinned by the notion that when women support each other, incredible things happen. Whatever your goal, the GLL is focused on helping everyone rise to their potential.”

    One of the panellists, Ainslie Moore, Deputy Director Operations at the University of Auckland, says one the topics they’ll discuss is the importance of supportive networks.

    “Every major decision on ‘where to next’ in my career was informed by the support of a network of strong women in international education.

    “One of the ambitions of the GLL is to give the next generation of women in international education access to a network of peers and senior women; not just for career progression, but also for sharing knowledge to bring more balance to work and life.”

    Panel chair and ENZ’s Regional Director for Europe and the Americas, Lisa Futschek, says that in addition to engaging with the panellists, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with fellow delegates before and after the lunch.  

    “We hope attendees will leave inspired and equipped with a range of strategies and approaches to support women leaders in our industry – now and in the future,” says Lisa.

    Attendance at this panel is not restricted to women. Indeed, men are encouraged to attend to hear more about the experiences of women within our industry and learn approaches and strategies that can support women leaders.

    Numbers for the lunch panel are restricted to 100 places. Details on how you can confirm your place will be advised to conference delegates separately.
