  • ENZ Facebook group connects international students

    The ENZ social media team has created #MyStudyinNZ Journey, a Facebook group for international students across New Zealand to connect, share upcoming events and meetups, ask questions and offer advice.

    ENZ Director of Student Experience, Hayley Shields, says the group is a space for international students to support one another while also offering ENZ valuable learnings about the types of information they need. Plans are in place for a similar group on WeChat to be launched later in the year.

    “This idea has come out of our student experience research where students told us they value the advice of other students. Facebook communities provide an easy forum for our international students to connect.” 

    To ensure the Facebook group is entirely student-focussed, ENZ has recruited a group of domestic and international students to act as moderators. They will ensure students get the information they need while maintaining the group atmosphere as a safe and positive space.

    One of the Facebook moderators, Pritchard Mukuka, says, “For me, this group means bringing home, security and comfort to fellow international students to make their study and stay as pleasant as possible.”

    How education providers can get involved

    Please share the Facebook group details with your international students and encourage them to join up.

    If you would like to share information about events taking place at your institution with the group, please email ENZ International Social Engagement Manager, Olivia Silverwood, on olivia.silverwood@enz.govt.nz

  • Recipients of the 2026 New Zealand – China Tripartite Partnership Fund

    The recipients are:

    • Lincoln University, with Beijing Forestry University and Yunnan Agricultural University, on national park landscape management
    • Lincoln University, with China Agricultural University and Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, on research in carbon emissions
    • University of Canterbury, with Shanghai Normal University and Qufu Normal University, on digital leadership in early childhood education.

    For over 20 years, the New Zealand – China Tripartite Partnership Fund has supported researcher-led collaboration through a distinctive three-way structure, connecting New Zealand universities with multiple Chinese partners to build academic linkages and enable knowledge exchange.

    The Tripartite Partnership Programme has delivered tangible education outcomes, including contributing to recently approved joint institutes and programmes involving the University of Canterbury and Lincoln University, and their Chinese university partners.

    Lincoln University’s joint education programme on National Parks management with Beijing Forestry University was recently approved by China Ministry of Education.

    Outcomes from the 2025 Fund recipients

    The 2025 Tripartite Partnership Fund recipients completed their projects in May 2026, reporting strong progress in academic collaboration and student mobility, along with joint publication submissions.

    One project, led by Associate Professor Fiona Ell from the University of Auckland, focused on preparing future teachers in mathematics and science through comparative study and exchange between New Zealand and China. 

    The project delivered three key outcomes:

    • completion of comparative policy analysis on mathematics and science teacher education policies in both countries
    • examining the signature teacher education pedagogies in both countries to learn about new ways to prepare teachers
    • delivery of reciprocal exchange visits, enabling in-person observation of school and university practice in both countries.

    Right: During Associate Professor Yiling Yao and Dr Sisi Han’s visit to Auckland in February 2026, the group visited Matipo Primary School to observe a Year 3 mathematics class.
