ASIA COMES TO THE CLASSROOM

Earlier this year AsiaNZ arranged for Chinese martial artists and puppeteers to perform at selected schools around Auckland. Pics by Ted Baghurst.

Danielle Wright finds out how Auckland students are being educated to thrive in a changing world IN 2030, THREE OF THE FOUR BIGGEST ECONOMIES will be in Asia with China expected to have the largest economy, followed by the US, India and Japan. The AsiaPacific will be home to 60 per cent of the world’s middle class and forty per cent of New Zealand’s export goods are expected to go to Asia.

“The 19th Century was European, the 20th Century was American and the 21st is the Asian Century,” explains Jeff Johnstone, a former Auckland school principal turned education director at Asia New Zealand Foundation (AsiaNZ), which is a non-profit, non-partisan organisation dedicated to building New Zealand’s links with Asia.

“Soon, exports to Asia will be double that to UK/US combined and there will be more people of Asian descent than Maori descent in Auckland,” says Johnstone. “Given these rapid changes, we need to teach our kids about the Asian language and culture if we want a prosperous and harmonious environment.”

Asia’s transformation is transforming New Zealand, too. Nearly one in four Aucklanders are of Asian descent, a figure projected to grow to nearly one in three (30 percent) by 2021. Asian populations are also rising in other parts of New Zealand

and with China now New Zealand’s largest trade partner, today’s school entrants will need to learn new skills in order to thrive in future New Zealand.

Johnstone considers three areas to be of most importance in equipping future generations to communicate, tolerate and do business with Asian populations. The first is learning an Asian language.

missioned by AsiaNZ also noted that 93% of New Zealanders polled last year thought it was useful to learn an Asian language, even though the reality of these languages being taught in schools was minimal compared to European languages.

The second consideration is to teach children about Asian cultures and to give them cultural competencies, such as having

“Soon… there will be more people of Asian descent than Maori in Auckland… we need to teach our kids about the Asian language and culture if we want a prosperous and harmonious environment.” – Jeff Johnstone, AsiaNZ “We have a vision for a multilingual New Zealand. Learning an Asian language will give children an advantage for their future careers because there won’t be a job where they won’t have to be involved with Asian customers,” says Johnstone. “It will also help them get to know their Asian neighbours and colleagues.”

He says there has been a 27% drop in Asian language learning in secondary schools with Japanese being the hardest hit. The Perceptions of Asia research com-

respect and empathy for the way Asian populations live their lives.

“Schools can start with integrating Asian themes into their current curriculum, for example looking at water issues in Asia when discussing water issues in New Zealand - it can be a subtle thing,” says Johnstone. “At our school, we had a lunchtime fan dancing group just as we had a kapa haka group. Schools can decide how it will work best for them.”

Johnstone says with such a multi-cul-

tural city such as Auckland on our doorsteps, there’s no need to travel overseas to encounter or encourage cross-cultural communications.

The third element is to forge cultural connections for Auckland schools with cultural groups in local communities, as well as further afield during study trips to Asian countries.

Via AisaNZ, Mangere Central School last year sent its principal Maria Heron on an Indonesia Cultural Connections trip and the school has been maintaining links with a sister school in Indonesia ever since.

She remembers being greeted by a class of smiling muslim children wearing all white waving New Zealand flags, as well as visiting another school in a slum area under a viaduct where wealthy university students tutored children for free.

“These were children who might not otherwise have had the chance at education and now they spoke fantastic English,” says Heron. “All the schools we visited were very different. It was an absolutely amazing experience.”

While in Indonesia, Heron arranged for the sister school class to Skype a class back home, as well as arranging to share dances on YouTube and photos on Instagram. In 2012, she went on a similar trip to Korea.

AsiaNZ sent another group of technology teachers to Japan to learn about robotics and anime in order to come back to New Zealand and produce units and lessons to share throughout the country.

A similar trip to Shanghai was organised for business studies students to visit local businesses and factories to create lesson plans back home.

AsiaNZ also facilitates online connections between teachers in New Zealand and those based in Asia by getting them to share about each other’s countries and learning as well as creating Google hangouts and

video conferencing so the school children in each country can share a connection.

“Schools are a busy place for teachers and principals so we’ve designed our programmes to be presented on a plate to them. We have made it simple to put Asia into the curriculum in a way that suits a school, rather than adding it on top of an already tight curriculum,” says Johnstone.

It’s not all about New Zealanders learning more about Asia, though, it’s also about Asian groups learning more about how New Zealanders do things. One Asian

city – Waitakere’s sister city Ningbo near Shanghai – was so keen to learn more about the creativity in New Zealand schools that AsiaNZ hosted 25 principals to educate them about our number 8 wire mentality.

Johnstone said they came away excited about how innovative the learning environment is in New Zealand and how the students here took ownership for their learning rather than doing everything by rote.

“The Confucius style of learning is generally where the teacher is the master and the pupils are the recipients of the

knowledge;it’sservedwell,butinthemodern world knowledge gets out-of-date quickly and half of what is learnt in technical degrees may be out-of-date before the end of the degree,” explains Johnstone. “To thrive in tomorrow’s world, it’s important to teach in a way that creates flexible, creative people that think for themselves – something the NZ education system knows how to create.”

“We’re keen to spread the word and prepare our kids for future New Zealand,” says Johnstone. “This is a wake up call.”

STUDENT SURVIVAL 101

Imagine partying every weekend, sleeping late, getting free money from the government and having no responsibilities. If you just imagined being a university student, think again; in Auckland it’s a whole different story.

By Julie Cleaver FIRST OF ALL, the cost of living in Auckland is higher than the Sky Tower, and it’s hit students harder than falling off it. I live in Greenlane with bunch of uni kids and to make our rent affordable, we have had to sardine nine people into a four-bedroom house.

Other people I know rent bathrooms as bedrooms to cope with the outrageous price of living. Personally I work two jobs, so I can afford to live in a room without a toilet, but only just.

Since most people can barely cover rent, spending $10 on a beer in town is out of the question. So forget the stereotype that uni students are always partying. In Auckland, unless you live in a hall and daddy pays for your accommodation, booze and the maintenance of your Mercedes, you’re basically excluded from the social scene.

However, there are a few dedicated poor students who have found ways to get around the ridiculous cost of drinking in town. Going

to a BYO restaurant, buying the cheapest thing on the menu, then loading up before the clubs is quite a popular option. So is pre-drinking, where people get absolutely hammered at someone’s house then take a taxi into town - if they can make it that far.

But like I said, partying is usually reserved for the rich, and so is having free time. In between work, class and study, my days usually start at 8am and end at 6.30pm, making me a very busy lady. So even though I thought university would be a place to make life long friends, sadly, I don’t really have the time.

Although when I do find time to socialise, it’s always centered around food. Uni students love to get together and eat, and finding a cheap place to do that is a must. Getting a kebab, sushi or curry meal on campus is usually a good option, as they are all delicious and satisfying. Some of the healthier students choose to eat at organic cafés, like Revive or basically anywhere in Ponsonby, as being healthy is now super trendy.

Some stylish students also bond through buying coffee. They carry around their disposable cups as a fashion statement, representing their elitism, as only the privileged few can afford to sip a $4.50 hot beverage.

However in many cases, coffee is not a status symbol, but a necessity. Especially if it’s 8pm, you have a 2000-word essay due the next day and only 50 words typed up. These horrid evenings are known as ‘all-nighters’ and basically every uni student has survived at least one. During all-nighters people skull back as much

caffeine as their bodies can handle and type away until they see the sunrise.

When they stumble into uni the next day to hand in their assignments, they look like zombies. They groan out that ‘they will never procrastinate again’ but we all know that isn’t going to happen.

Luckily tutors are mostly very understanding. Having once been unorganised uni students themselves, they fully get how stressful it can be. So they’ll always find time in between their busy schedules of marking and Tweeting to help students out, sometimes even on the day an assignment is due.

there’s traffic at peak times, which spikes the blood pressure like crazy. Taking a bus or a train was also annoying, as they were always over crowded, expensive and a return journey wasted about two hours of my day.

Now that I live in Greenlane, transport is far more reasonable. Buses come by frequently and a return journey only costs around $5. I would love to be able to ride my bike into uni, as it only takes around 25 minutes. But with no cycle lanes, it’s far too dangerous. Cycling across Grafton Bridge is especially terrifying, as buses zoom past and only leave bikers a measly three inches of space on the road.

In saying all that, the City of Sails does have a lot to offer students.

Like any big city, the opportunities in Auckland are endless. I’ve managed to score a job in the field I am studying, and I don’t know how easily I would have been able to do that somewhere else.

There are also heaps of fun activities to do in Auckland. I personally enjoy heading up north to Snow Planet, swimming in the local pools and mountain biking in Woodhill Forest.

With all the pristine nature and unique activities on offer, being a university student in Tamaki Makau Rau definitely has its perks, just not the ones people would expect. We’re not all lazy partiers with zero responsibilities and oodles of free time. Like most residents in Auckland, we spend out days fighting the traffic and working the grind, just making enough to survive in our overpriced abode.

“…forget the stereotype that uni students are always partying. In Auckland, unless you live in a hall and daddy pays for your accommodation, booze and the maintenance of your Mercedes, you’re basically excluded from the social scene” But even though tutors are helpful, they are very unsympathetic when it comes to late assignments. If something is due at 4pm, it must be handed in before 4pm. One minute past four is considered late and an entire grade point must be deducted.

This is standard in most universities, but since transport in Auckland can be an unpredictable nightmare, it really pays to hand in assignments a day early.

I used to live in West Auckland, about a 30-minute drive from the city centre, which made commuting into uni a mission.

Driving wasn’t really a feasible option, as parking in the city is hard to find and costs about a million dollars an hour. Plus

THE CASE FOR UNIVERSITY It’s an exciting time for school leavers as they start making decisions about their next steps. If you have a passion, are simply curious, or academically able going on to university makes sense. By Chris Whelan

WHY UNIVERSITY?

A university education is a smart choice as it opens up more options and opportunities for your future. In addition to gaining professional or industry-led qualifications, you’ll learn thinking and analytical skills as well as other transferable skills that will be of use throughout your career – not just your first job. You’ll have better job prospects as many jobs now require a degree, and you’re less likely to be unemployed.

Another big carrot is that university graduates earn more. On average a university graduate will earn about $1.3 million more over their working lives than those with just a secondary school qualification.

WHAT SHOULD I STUDY?

My advice is to follow your passions – study what interests you and what you love doing.

But, if being employed is important to you, keep an eye on the employment prospects for graduates in fields that interest you.

Start by making sure you understand your strengths – talk with teachers or your careers adviser, or try the toolkits available on Careers NZ and university websites. Yes you will earn the most as a doctor, engineer or information technology graduate.

However, you will also have better than average earning potential and high rates of employment on average with an arts degree.

Next explore what courses and degree options different universities offer.

One tip – when choosing subjects, take the opportunity to study new options and

specialist subjects, rather than just replicating what you studied at school.

WHERE TO STUDY?

Students are very fortunate to have access to eight world-class universities right here in New Zealand. All our universities are ranked in the top 3% in the world and each has one or more subjects ranked in the top 100 universities in the world.

It’s a good idea to attend an open day or take a campus tour offered by the university.

COSTS

Think about a university education as an investment that will pay off over the rest of your life.

The breakeven point for most graduates is around age 33. This is where what you earn from having a degree, exceeds any loans, fees, living costs and income lost while studying.

On average those who take out a student loan pay it off within just seven years.

The average loan balance on graduation is around $14,000, which is a good investment considering the additional $1.3 million more a university graduate will on average earn over their working life.

CHECK ENTRY CRITERIA

To gain admission to university you’ll need enough credits to gain University Entrance.

This means more than just getting NCEA Level 3.

To get UE you need NCEA Level 3 as well as 14 credits each in three approved

subjects, 10 Literacy credits at level 2 or above, and 10 Numeracy credit at level 1 or above. There’s more information on NZQA’s website www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualificationsstandards/awards/university-entrance/.

I advise you to check with your school to make sure that you are taking a mix of subjects and achievement standards that will allow you to get UE. It’s also important to know that some universities have higher entry standards than UE to gain admission. And some subjects will have special admission criteria. So talk to the university or check their website.

PILOTS NEEDED

Commercial airlines will need 220,000 additional pilots in the Asia-Pacific region over the next 20 years and a Waikato flight school is geared up to meet the demand. By Paul Charman “During their stay in New Zealand, student pilots from many countries mix practical flight instruction here with extensive ground theory and advanced flight simulator work, some of which — depending on their course — will be accessed in the UK. “Many of our students appreciate training on the other side of the world, which they see as an adventure in a country they perceive as being interesting and fun.

“We settled on the Waikato because of the availability of flight services at Hamilton’s then international airport. The city itself is substantial, offering abundant services and it’s in an ideal location, providing a wide variety of flying conditions.”

The airline-focussed flight training organisation’sexpectationisthatmoststudentswill go into an airline when they finish training.

For New Zealand students there are two ways to do this :

Diploma in aviation

The first is a diploma in aviation, partially funded by a student loan, but with sponsorship from the company as well.

Students who earn all their licences are then employed as flight instructors, of which there are 57 at present.

While teaching other students to fly, they also rack up the hours and experience required to become eligible to join the likes of Air New Zealand, Jet Star, or Qantas.

Qatar Airways

The other option for Kiwis is a programme that CTC Aviation runs in partnership with Qatar Airways.

Get the Whitecliffe Edge Whitecliffe is an award-winning, specialist arts and design school offering certificate, diploma, degree and postgraduate programmes in: FINE ARTS PHOTO MEDIA FASHION DESIGN GRAPHIC DESIGN

FOUNDATION ARTS MANAGEMENT ARTS THERAPY

This course of study is for 18 months, at the end of which graduates can go straight into a first officer role on an A320 aircraft, based in Doha, Qatar.

“It’s a very direct route into an airline and nobody else in New Zealand offers anything like this.

“It’s true that this is an expensive course, and one which has to be entirely self-funded as it doesn’t attract a student loan. But when the guys and girls get through it, they get a job on a jet and are on a great salary right from the start.

“This outcome would normally take six to eight years to achieve, but on the Qatar course they get to achieve it in 18 months, all from this side of the world. That’s a pretty awesome opportunity for a New Zealander who wants to break into the industry.”

CTC AVIATION TRAINS up to 400 students, drawn from 20 countries, at its Waikato flight centre.

A rocketing global appetite for international air travel has boosted flight training schools worldwide, the Hamilton-based CTC Aviation being a prime example.

Each year the UK-based company draws up to 400 students — from more than 20 countries — to its purpose-built Waikato flight centre.

CTC Aviation launched in the UK in 1992 and established a New Zealand operation in 2003. It is also currently developing a flight training centre in Phoenix, Arizona The company’s marketing team leader in New Zealand, Jodi Kitchen, says they established a training facility, accommodation and support facilities in Hamilton in 2004.

A new film degree is coming to SAE Auckland With 53 campuses across 27 countries, SAE Institute is the world’s leading educator for creative media industries.

Since 1990, SAE Auckland has become renowned for training professional audio engineers. And for the past nine years, the Auckland campus has offered a Diploma in Film Making. But now, they are branching further into the world of filmmaking and from 2016 onwards will be offering a new Bachelor of Film Arts.

BA brings opportunity

Zero fees hospitality

Jashil Reddy turned up to her first sociology lecture at Massey’s Auckland campus not knowing what to expect

SIT Bachelor of Hotel Management graduate Stacey Burrell-James was drawn to SIT for the famous Zero Fees scheme and the benefits of graduating without a large student debt

She instantly fell in love with the subject and made it her second major along with educational psychology.

“Sociology teaches you how to ask questions about the world around you – that nothing is set in concrete. It’s given me a whole new way of thinking,” she says. “When I talk to people with very different world views, I don’t judge them. I’ve learned that there are many points of view and things are more complex.”

Now in her third year of a Bachelor of Arts, she feels vindicated in her degree choice – despite some discouragement from mostly older people who cast doubts on her future job opportunities.

She is having the last laugh now.

Jashil, who came to university from Massey High School, West Auckland, has been working part-time this year for a debt-collecting agency while studying full-time. Though not her dream job

Jashil Reddy is in her third year of a BA and says it has given her a whole new outlook on life. exactly, it is a step up from working in a café, and a validation of her degree.

She got the job, despite her lack of finance or business knowledge, because she had excellent people skills and an ability to explain things well and communicate with a wide range of people.

So her boss told her, offering her a portfolio and additional responsibility ahead of six of the eight others employed with her – all of whom had finance and business backgrounds.

Doing a BA has helped develop these transferable skills – communication, understanding others’ viewpoints, analysing complex information.

Stacey says in addition to the Zero Fees Scheme “the Bachelor of Hotel Management provided me with a comprehensive knowledge of the hospitality industry while also providing an understanding of general business.”

Stacey believes the strong knowledge and skills she learnt from SIT helped her to gain her current employment as the Meeting and Event Coordinator at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland where she assists clients with all their event needs including putting together the daily run sheets, liaising with chefs for menus and ensuring all aspects of the event are carried out the way the client wants on the day. The events range from small business meetings to large multi-day conferences, gala dinners, school balls and weddings.

“We sought NZQA accreditation for this new degree because our students and local industry demanded it,” explains campus manager Dr Suzette Major. “The degree is practical, handson and personalised. Classes are small and places will be strictly limited.”

The first intake of the Bachelor of Film Arts at SAE Auckland will be offered in January 2016. The class is already filling up fast, so anyone interested should get in touch with SAE immediately.

After completing a course at SIT Stacey Burrell-James (right) now works at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland.

Sven Mattiesson Rooms Operations Manager at the Pullman hotel Auckland says – “Stacey is a problem solver and solution provider and does so in a thoughtful and considerate way. She has a creative approach with a keen eye to detail and is always looking for a logical solution with practicality and realistic perceptions.”

Stacey would recommend to any prospective student wanting to get into the hospitality and hotel management industry to choose SIT as it enables you to get ahead in your career and plan your future without the burden of a large student loan.
