  Workshop 1: Students’ view from their window travelling along the digital freeway

  Technology is changing the way education providers engage with potential students. Placing you in the driver’s seat on the digital freeway, you will experience first-hand what international students see as they race toward their destination. As with any road trip, there are detours, attractions and temptations that can change the direction.

  This workshop will use a segmentation model to identify what tools are available and what skills are required, and give examples of how education providers, at various stages of digital maturity, can leverage them for success.

  Target audience: Participants involved in international strategy, marketing, recruitment and admissions.

  Outcomes:

  • Identify how your organisation is segmented and what tools are appropriate
  • Gain exposure to example initiatives that best-practice providers have used to improve their student recruitment efficiency
  • Connect with other practitioners about their experiences and identify opportunities for further exploration.

• From Viet Nam to Aotearoa: 20 bright minds awarded school scholarships

  Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) proudly celebrated the achievements of 20 outstanding Vietnamese students at the New Zealand School Scholarships (NZSS) 2025 awards ceremony and pre-departure briefing, held on 22 June 2025 in Ho Chi Minh city. 

  The event marked a milestone for these young students and their families, as they prepare to embark on a transformative education journey in New Zealand. It also served as a valuable orientation platform, offering practical insights into studying and living in New Zealand through sharing sessions led by NZSS alumni and their parents. 

  Now in its fifth year, the NZSS programme continues to strengthen its footprint with a record 45 participating New Zealand high schools and 47 fully completed applications resulting in 20 winners this year. 

  Among the New Zealand schools that successfully secured NZSS students, one private and four public schools joined for the first time – a testament to the programme’s growing influence and effectiveness in engaging with the education market in Viet Nam. 

  Participation in NZSS plays a vital role in raising New Zealand schools’ profile in Viet Nam. ENZ rolled out the 2025 NZSS campaign from January to March, with additional amplification in June, generating 48 media clippings with a combined PR value of NZD 131,000 and a social media reach of over 2 million in Viet Nam.  

  Speaking at the ceremony, New Zealand Consul-General and Trade Commissioner in Ho Chi Minh City, Scott James, said: “You had many choices for your education, and you chose New Zealand. For that, we are truly grateful.”

  Nguyễn Thiện Nhân, one of the 2025 awardees, shared his emotions on receiving the scholarship: 

  “Being selected for this scholarship is not only one of the greatest honours of my life, but a moment that reminds me that hard work, belief, and perseverance can lead to something truly life changing. The more I learned about New Zealand – its values, its education system, and its people – the more I felt a strong connection. I realised: this isn’t just a place to study, it’s a place to grow.” 

  ENZ Regional Director – Asia (excluding China), Ben Burrowes, said he is proud to see the tangible impact of this scholarship.  
   
  “Many NZSS alumni have already achieved great success in their study and personal development journeys. Some are now beginning their careers in New Zealand, joining our workforce and contributing meaningfully to our economy and communities,” he said.   

  “These achievements reflect both their talent and the opportunity the NZSS programme provides, and we are confident today’s recipients will follow in their footsteps,” Ben added. 

  This year’s scholarship ceremony coincided with the celebration of 50 years of diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Viet Nam – a fitting backdrop to a programme that continues to strengthen people-to-people ties and foster future global citizens. 

• Applications are open for the Europe and Latin America Engagement Fund

  The aim of this funding is to support engagement activities with education agents from Europe, Brazil and Colombia. New Zealand institutions are welcome to submit proposals and apply for up to $3000 per project. We will fund up to 15 projects that focus on engaging with agents from Europe, Brazil and Colombia.

  ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye, said ENZ has a strong and loyal network of agents in Europe, especially Germany and Italy.

  “They are keen for support and engagement with New Zealand institutions, and welcome opportunities for events and promotional activities. This initiative is a wonderful opportunity for New Zealand education providers to promote their education offering through building education agent networks.” 

  Proposed activities should be completed during the second half of 2023 and have firm goals and outcomes in place. Examples of activities are a scholarship campaign, contribution to bringing an agent to New Zealand for a famil, or supporting a trip to attend an event organised by agents.

  ENZ’s Director of Engagement – Latin America, Javiera Visedo said education agents in Latin America are keen to learn more about what a New Zealand education has to offer, with students excited at the prospect of studying here. Reconnecting with New Zealand education providers is a top priority for them.”

This includes New Zealand education providers such as universities, Private Training Establishments (PTEs), English Language Schools (ELS), regional economic development agencies, schools, and peak bodies.
