A MAVERICK TRAVELLER1 +64 27 268 1575
maryjanewalker@a-maverick.com

Mary Jane Walker is a writer of historically well-informed travel memoirs that come with an autobiographical flavour. She has been described as a younger, female Bill Bryson, though with her own unique voice. Mary Jane first experienced world travel in an unusual way, as part of the crew on a Chinese junk named La Dame de Canton, the first to be built in the old way in decades. La Dame sailed from Canton, now Guangzhou, to Paris in the early 1980s. Just as in the old days of exploration by sail, the voyage took a couple of years to complete, with many stops along the way for fresh water and supplies, and, yes, for repairs as well. From a working-class background in which she is the only member of the family with a university degree — with enough money to travel, but no great fortune — Mary Jane has generally done her travels the hard way: starting with the voyage of La Dame de Canton. To share Mary Janes travelling experiences from the comfort of home — or otherwise, to gain a ric…

Top Higher Education Companies in New-Zealand

Growth and Success Factors

The industry's growth has been fueled by several factors, including favorable government policies, increasing international student enrollment, and rising demand for skilled labor.

Government initiatives have been a crucial driver of the higher education industry's growth in recent years. For instance, the government's Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund, launched in 2020, aimed to provide free vocational training to help address the shortage of skilled labor in the country. The program helped boost the industry by providing more work opportunities and increasing the number of skilled graduates.

Another factor contributing to the industry's growth is the increasing enrollment of international students. New Zealand has become a popular destination for international students due to its high-quality education system and welcoming culture. In 2022, the number of international students enrolled in New Zealand's higher education institutions reached over 50,000, contributing significantly to the industry's revenue and economic growth.

Industry Growth and Comparison to Previous Years

The higher education industry in New Zealand has experienced steady growth over the past decade, with a growth rate of 3.6% between 2019 and 2022. This growth is projected to continue, with the industry expected to grow at a rate of 3.3% over the next five years. The growth has been driven by several factors, including favorable government policies, increasing international student enrollment, and rising demand for skilled labor.

Key Trends

The higher education industry in New Zealand is rapidly evolving, driven by several technological disruptions. One significant trend in the industry is the increased use of digital technology to improve learning outcomes and student engagement. For instance, digital tools such as online learning platforms and virtual reality simulations have revolutionized the industry by providing more flexible and immersive learning experiences.

Another trend in the industry is the increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary research and collaboration. Universities and other higher education institutions are increasingly working together to develop innovative solutions to complex global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and disease. This trend is expected to continue, driven by the increasing importance of cross-disciplinary research in addressing emerging global challenges.

Challenges

Despite the industry's growth and success, it faces several challenges that could hinder its growth in the future. One significant challenge is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international student enrollment. The pandemic has disrupted travel and immigration, making it more challenging for international students to enroll in New Zealand's higher education institutions. Another challenge is the increasing competition from other countries such as Australia and Canada, which have also become popular destinations for international students.

Future Outlook

The higher education industry in New Zealand is poised for significant growth in the future, driven by several factors, including favorable government policies, increasing international student enrollment, and rising demand for skilled labor. The industry is expected to continue its growth trajectory over the next decade, with a projected growth rate of 3.3% over the next five years.

Conclusion

The higher education industry in New Zealand is an essential driver of economic growth, providing employment opportunities, driving innovation, and generating revenue. The industry's growth has been fueled by several factors, including favorable government policies, increasing international student enrollment, and rising demand for skilled labor. However, the industry also faces several challenges that could hinder its growth in the future, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international student enrollment and increasing competition from other countries.

To achieve continued growth and success, the higher education industry in New Zealand will need to focus on several key areas. Firstly, there is a need to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international student enrollment. This could involve exploring alternative enrollment options such as online learning platforms and hybrid learning models that combine in-person and online learning.

Secondly, the industry will need to embrace technological disruptions fully to improve learning outcomes and student engagement. This will require increased investment in research and development to develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of students and the industry.

Thirdly, there is a need to address the increasing competition from other countries. This could involve increasing marketing efforts to promote New Zealand's unique strengths and advantages as a study destination and developing strategies to attract more students from underrepresented regions.

Finally, the industry will need to collaborate closely with government agencies to ensure favorable policies and regulations that support continued growth and innovation. This could involve working with policymakers to develop and implement initiatives that address emerging challenges such as climate change and the need for a more flexible and responsive education system.
