Study Abroad website updated to include more New Zealand providers
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority
(NZQA) is pleased to announce that the Chinese Ministry of
Education will be adding nine New Zealand education
providers to its website of international places of
study.
The Jiaoyu Shewai Jianguan Xinxiwang (JSJ) Study Abroad website is maintained by the Chinese Ministry of Education and lists high quality education providers outside of China. Chinese students who are considering studying for tertiary qualifications in other countries often use the website to decide where to study.
The list of New Zealand education providers on the JSJ Study Abroad website currently includes all eight New Zealand universities, 17 institutes of technology and polytechnics, and six Private Training Establishments (PTEs).
More than 25,000
international students from China studied in New Zealand
last year.
The announcement of the extension of the list
of New Zealand PTEs on the website is a boost for New
Zealand’s international education industry, and the
culmination of four years of negotiation between NZQA with
the support of Education New Zealand, and the Chinese
Ministry of Education.
The announcement came as part of the events surrounding the 8th New Zealand-China Joint Working Group on Education and Training, held in Wellington yesterday. Chinese Vice Minister of Education Dr Hao Ping informed the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, Hon Steven Joyce of the decision when they met prior to the Joint Working Group meeting.
The nine
education providers that will be added to the JSJ Study
Abroad website are:
• Media Design
School
• New Zealand College of Chinese
Medicine Limited
• New Zealand School of
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
•
New Zealand Tertiary College Limited
• SAE
Institute
• South Pacific College of Natural
Medicine
• The New Zealand College of Massage
Limited
• UUNZ Institute of Business
Limited
• Wellpark College of Natural
Therapies Limited
All the education providers that will be added to the website meet criteria that have been agreed between the Chinese Ministry of Education and NZQA.
Throughout negotiations NZQA has advocated for the adoption of a criteria-based approach for the listing of further New Zealand PTEs. The rationale behind this approach is to allow for a regular review process, ensuring that PTEs on the list continue to meet criteria expected by the Chinese Ministry of Education, and allowing additional PTEs to be added to the list as they meet the criteria.
The
announcement of the addition of nine further high-quality
PTEs is a positive step, and NZQA will continue to negotiate
with the Chinese Ministry of Education on the use of the
criteria as the basis for regular review and updates to the
JSJ Study Aboard website list.
The Chinese Ministry of
Education will only accept education providers who meet the
following criteria. Education providers must:
be
signatories to the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of
International Students
have achieved ratings of at least
Confident for both educational performance and capability in
self-assessment in their most recent NZQA external
evaluation and review report (Category 1 and 2
providers)
offer degrees (at Level 7 or above of the New
Zealand Qualifications Framework)
not be specialist
English language schools
not be distance learning
schools
not deliver religious programmes.
