Are you a researcher exploring the intersection of international education & climate change? What's the climate impact of the sector? How can we reduce it & take action on climate, e.g., by educating students & decarbonising our operations? Join us to learn more us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

This seems to be for domestic, not international learners? But yes, if the statements about easiness are misleading, universities have to reflect on their agent training & monitoring practices as they are clearly failing to manage their agents....

This question is part of the UK agent training module - the correct answer (to pass the test) is 'true'...Also, a number of other "interesting" claims, such as how affordable UK is, information on the Openplus route etc. So, who should we blame if agents provide inaccurate information? #intled

Cheers, what's the best data source to use to explore this for international learners? If learners with C/D grades (somr with limited English) are equally successful, then it is really hard to justify those domestic entrance grade requirements....?

Well, the unis fail either way? They are obliged to make sure that any agents they work with give accurate information to students. So, if this is incorrect, they are not doing their jobs. Would be good if samples of the tests/exams & pass rate data were made public to enhance transparency?

They may say that, but they also admit "that the exams were so easy that passing was a formality" and the "course was 70 to 80 per cent easier to pass than the normal first year of a degree"....

A Journalist’s Must-Read Books on International Education

Global-ed scholarship is flourishing. Here are three titles that made me think deeply and differently about the field.

Australia wants to halve its net migration figures within two years to overhaul a "broken system". A lot of focus on reducing the number of international students, including a higher IELTS score & a genuine student test. The government also remains open to a cap on student numbers. #intled
