  • Updated UIP system gives better user experience

    The UIP system is an automated data collection system that will collect individual learner and provider data from UIPs. These providers are private training establishments that enrol international students and do not receive government funding.

    Additional improvements were made to make the system more user-friendly. This work was completed on 1 May 2018 in time for submission of trimester 1 data this year. The updated UIP system is easier to use and features a new online portal - an additional option for providers to submit data.

    The UIP system is a cross-agency project by the Ministry of Education, New Zealand Qualifications Authority and Education New Zealand and will help provide a more comprehensive picture of international student enrolments for this sector. Over time, this information will also help improve market analysis and inform decisions to support the international education industry. 

    Tour groups or group study tour operators will submit aggregate data through the Tour Group portal, which is also now live.

    More information about the UIP system including the data requirements, the options to submit data and the Tour Group portal can be found at the STEO website.

    For any questions, please contact UIP.DataCollection@education.govt.nz.

  • Reminder about education providers’ responsibilities when using education agents

    The responsibilities for Code signatories are covered in detail in Section 38 (for tertiary education providers) and Section 58 (for school education providers). Section 38 reads as follows: 

    38. Process 2: Managing and monitoring education agents

    Signatories must have practices for effectively managing and monitoring the performance and conduct of education agents in relation to learner safety and wellbeing under this code, including –  

    (a) carrying out and recording reference checks on potential education agents to ensure as far as possible that they are not involved in any conduct that is false, misleading, deceptive, or in breach of the law; and  

    (b) entering into written contracts with each of its education agents; and 

    (c) during the term of a contract, monitoring the activities and performance of its education agents in relation to – 

    (i) their obligations as specified in the contract; and  

    (ii) whether they provide prospective and enrolled international tertiary learners with reliable information and advice about studying, working, and living in New Zealand; and  

    (iii) whether they act with integrity and professionalism in their dealings with prospective and enrolled international tertiary learners; and  

    (iv) whether they have engaged in any activity or conduct that, in the opinion of the signatory, is or may be in breach of the law or that jeopardises the signatory’s compliance with this code; and  

    (d) managing the education agents by –  

    (i) terminating contracts with an agent if there is evidence which, on balance of probabilities, shows that the education agent –  

    a. has been involved in any serious, deliberate, or ongoing conduct that is false, misleading, deceptive, or in breach of the law; or 

    b. has jeopardised the signatory’s compliance with this code; or 

    (ii) taking appropriate action to address misconduct by act or an omission by an education agent in relation to the other matters described in subclause (c); and  

    (e) ensuring that its education agents have access to, and maintain, up-to-date information relevant to their duties as specified in the contracts with the signatory. 

    The full Code is available on the NZQA website here.
