Engage in cross-border education collaborations and integrate international education

International education is having a transformative impact on New Zealand’s economy and society. With a constant demand for skilled workers, staying informed about developments in this dynamic field is essential. The influx of international students contributes billions of dollars annually, enhancing our workforce skills and diversity, exposing us to new cultures and ideas, and opening up opportunities for our citizens.

Recognising the significance of international education for New Zealand, it is crucial to acknowledge the commendable initiatives undertaken by key stakeholders such as ENZ (Education New Zealand) and INZBC (India New Zealand Business Council) in this industry.

In April, ENZ took the lead in promoting student mobility initiatives between New Zealand and India when its Chief Executive Grant McPherson led a delegation from all eight universities across New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai to pave the way for a unified approach to student mobility initiatives between the two countries. New Zealand’s investment of $400,000 towards internationalisation and student mobility initiatives, including the relaunch of the New Zealand Excellence Awards (NZEA), demonstrates the country’s overall commitment to India.

Soon after that, in May, INZBC also took concrete steps towards promoting international education business between the two countries by organising a roundtable discussion with stakeholders from both countries. The event focused on the practicalities of the international education business, aligning with NZ and India’s international education strategy.

The initiatives undertaken by ENZ and INZBC reflect the increasing significance of education in international exchanges. New Zealand’s dedication to broadening its economic opportunities and strengthening its ties with India is evident through these efforts. For those who wish to take advantage of these opportunities, it is recommended to engage in cross-border education collaborations and consider integrating international education into their future plans.
