MEDIA RELEASE
The Federation of Independent English Language Schools (FIELSNZ) announced today that it is changing its name to ENGLISH
NEW ZEALAND. A new website and brand launch will follow shortly.
FIELSNZ Chairman, William Neale, said "The name change reflects our desire to reaffirm our guardianship of the good
reputation of English language teaching in New Zealand. FIELSNZ has represented members of the English teaching
profession for 18 years and our membership includes schools with more than 25 years' experience."
Member schools create ambassadors for New Zealand by providing the ultimate learning experience for our students
including top notch teachers, facilities, pastoral care and homestay accommodation as well as cultural experiences and
tourism opportunities.
"We believe it is time to show the world and the New Zealand public that New Zealand is the best place in the world to
visit, travel, live and study."
"ENGLISH NEW ZEALAND represents English language schools which provide a quality and truly New Zealand experience to
their students. We hope to represent all English schools that will share our vision, ethics and quality standards."
