  • Schools invited to join the Korea-New Zealand Digital School Exchange Programme

    The programme, delivered in partnership with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (Seoul MOE) and Learn English Live (LEL), connects New Zealand students in Years 7-9 with their peers in South Korea through a series of interactive online exchanges.

    Up to 10 New Zealand schools will be selected to take part. Each participating group will join four one‑hour Zoom sessions held weekly from 11 May to 8 June 2026. Sessions will be scheduled between 12pm and 3pm NZT to accommodate both time zones. Participation is free of charge.

    The exchanges typically involve 20-25 students per school, matching the standard class size of Korean partner schools. New Zealand schools wishing to involve more students may form additional groups of around 20 students each.

    ENZ and Seoul MOE work closely with LEL, which coordinates communication with participating schools, schedules exchange times, prepares teachers and students, and facilitates each session. Topics covered range from language and cultural sharing to UN Sustainable Development Goals projects, STEM activities and global citizenship themes. New Zealand teachers have consistently noted the benefit of not needing to prepare or deliver session content themselves.

     Why join? 

    • Promote your school to a South Korean audience for free 
    • Showcase New Zealand’s unique education environment and culture 
    • Engage your students in a hybrid STEM and cultural exchange 
    • No added work to your teaching load – LEL takes care of all the admin and logistics, allowing you to simply show up with your classroom and enjoy the global learning experience 

    Teachers in previous rounds praised the programme for its smooth delivery and the enthusiasm it sparked in their classrooms, and the programme’s blend of STEM learning and cultural exchange has been highlighted as a key strength.

    Is this right for your school?

    The programme is a great fit for schools looking to build long-term relationships with Korean partner schools, particularly those with strengths in social studies, cultural or global studies, languages or global citizenship education.

    It also offers a valuable opportunity to promote your school in Korea in a meaningful, low-pressure and no-cost way that can attract potential international students over the long term.

  • JJL Overseas Education opens New Zealand office

    JJL’s new branch office is part of its new service strategy to upgrade its services to Chinese international students.

    Hayley Shields, ENZ’s Director Student Experience, spoke and cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony in Auckland, welcoming JJL to New Zealand and affirming the importance of the New Zealand-China education relationship.

    “JJL has had long-standing relationships with many quality New Zealand education providers for over 15 years, most of whom were represented at the opening. People had travelled from all over New Zealand to show their support for JJL’s investment in a local office,” said Hayley. 

    The JJL team will be focussed on advising and supporting the positive student experience of their students currently in New Zealand education institutions.  

    The organisation’s team of three is led by Janet Wang, who has been working in international education in New Zealand for many years. 

    JJL’s new premises can be found on Level 6, 115 Queen Street, Auckland.

  • Changes to online agent training programme

    Dan Smidt, ENZ’s Manager – Agents says the upgrade is long overdue and will make the programme more tailored to agents.

    “The current online agent training programme has operated largely unaltered since 2013, and there have been considerable changes in technology and learning styles since then that mean the programme is not as effective as it could be,” says Dan. 

    “The programme will be re-designed from the agent perspective and have a range of tools, resources and training material that will assist agents in promoting New Zealand as an international education destination.

    “Industry stakeholders will also have an opportunity to create learning modules when the new programme is launched.”

    The new online agent training programme is intended to re-launch in November 2018.

    In order to facilitate the build of the new programme, the current programme will become unavailable near the end of June.

    We encourage all agents who have started the training to complete it as soon as possible. Click here to log in.
