Pat Mao, ELA's Business Development Executive, has just wrapped up a dynamic student recruitment tour across seven cities in China, reaching over 1,400 participants. This trip highlighted the surging interest in ELA's pathway courses and was bolstered by the support of the University of Auckland's International Office, UP Education, and Education New Zealand. The personal connections made with students, previously engaged through ELA's webinars, underscored the impact of these initiatives. The journey was not only a testament to the strong partnerships formed but also set the stage for future educational and cultural exchanges between New Zealand and China.
