Introducing the International Education Mark (IEM) by Ireland 🎓🌍 Ireland is taking monumental steps to safeguard international students' interests with the introduction of the International Education Mark (IEM). 🌟 What's IEM? A new statutory quality mark ensuring a consistent and top-notch learning experience for international students. Its goal? To instill global confidence in the Irish education system! 📜 Key Highlights: Voluntary, but necessary for providers catering to non-EU/EEA learners needing immigration permissions. Two distinct codes of practice: HE Code for Higher Education providers. ELE Code for English Language Education providers. Emphasis on ethical marketing, transparent admissions, and robust support for international students. After a comprehensive public consultation, the final documentation has received a nod from QQI’s Board. HE and ELE providers can now refer to these documents for their IEM application in 2024. #InternationalEducation #IEM #QualityAssurance #IrishEducation

Place-based education, practiced by School Year Abroad (SYA) starts with the local community as the setting for learning. In France, Spain or Italy, students learn the local language and also their academics will be not only taught in the language but also leverage the location. #bestpractices

Have you thought about how much cancellations affect your business? When cancellations are not resolved with a straightforward rebooking, they can often cost agencies and schools a great deal of lost revenue, as well as create added stress on administrative tasks such as billing, credit notes or planning teacher course loads. Join this seminar to learn about how you can recover funds when students cancel, and participate in engaging discussions on how to prevent cancellations in the first place. We’ll also include interactive live polls so you can compare your experience with cancellations with other IALC International Association of Language Centres attendees, plus share results from some research GuardMe recently did in the Spanish market on this crucial topic. Lessening the impact of cancellations on schools and agencies Date: Thursday, 11 April 2024 Time: 15:05 - 15:40 IALC Annual Conference Your host: @Michelle Brown Head of Strategic Partnerships UK & Ireland #HealthInsurance #TravelInsurance #InternationalEducation #IALC2024

Why do we think there is an appetite to buy ELT schools? 🌟 A myriad of very good and solid commercial reasons. Although the broader educational market offers numerous investment opportunities, there is turbulence in global education in face-to-face teaching, but the ELT sector tends to weather these storms better. Many ELT programmes are shorter, more flexible, and can pivot to online formats more readily, maintaining accessibility despite changing immigration policies. This is another challenging situation that will largely spare ELT while impacting other face-to-face teaching sectors, as reported by the ICEF Monitor. Here's a quick global snapshot: 🇦🇺 Australia: With record-high foreign enrolments but tightening immigration policies, the education sector predicts over AUS$300 million in revenue losses for 2024 due to declining visa applications and skyrocketing refusal rates. 🇬🇧 UK: Business schools report a 76% drop in non-EU enrolments for January 2024, especially at postgraduate levels, with many failing to meet their targets. 🇺🇸 US: F-1 visa refusal rates reached record levels in 2023, with more than a quarter million foreign students turned away from studying in the US, costing the economy more than US$7 billion annually. 🇨🇦 Canada: Adjustments in provincial cap numbers could further impact international student enrolments. 🤝 Thinking of Selling Your ELT School? Let's explore opportunities together. 🎉 A huge shoutout to Paul Humphreys and ICEF, for their insights!

👏 The EAIE: European Association for International Education launched the third edition of the EAIE Barometer! The report offers a broad range of insights on the internationalisation of higher education in Europe, including data on the experience of international higher education practitioners, #internationalisation strategies and impact, national and political influence, and more. 🔎 Out of close to 1,900 respondents to a related question on the impact of national-level authorities when it comes to institutional goals and internationalisation, 65% reported an overall positive influence of “national policies, programmes or initiatives on their institution’s actual internationalisation activities”. 🎉 ACA celebrates this finding alongside its members (national-level internationalisation funding organisations) whose invaluable work in supporting internationalisation nationally does not go unnoticed! 📍 Discover many other interesting findings in the full report: https://lnkd.in/gja43e-9 #highered #internationalization
