Does #Canadian government legislation signal the end of #internationaleducation delivered by the private sector in #canada? And, will other nations follow suit? Plus how will other associated commercial international #education “facilitators” fair, particularly #agents & agent #aggregators, from which the lions share of their revenue had been derived from Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)?The number of #studypermits Ontario receives has dropped to just 141,000 this year from 239,753 in 2023 — under the federal government’s new cap to rein in the surging international enrolment, amid a housing crisis and concerns over the misuse of the foreign student program as a pathway for permanent residence.Without PPPs will some agents & the majority of aggregators go to the wall? Aggregators the darlings of the #pandemic are now on very shaky ground! Taking just a small percentages of #agent commission was always going to rely on volume, without lucrative PPPs this model is now looking next to near impossible to make the numbers add up!“An #Ontario public #college, the first to announce cuts has dire warnings about what is happening to the post-secondary sector with the drastic drop in #internationalstudents. "There have been significant external events that have had an adverse effect on our college," said Maureen Adamson, president of Fleming College, in a letter sent to staff. "The related significant reduction to our budget has had a profound impact on college operations, & we are moving quickly to stabilize our institution & prepare for #future years."The unions representing hundreds of staff say they were caught off guard by the school's abrupt decision to cancel more than one in five programs in response to the declining international enrolment this fall. Fleming expects to lose $40 million in tuition as other colleges have reported similar financial challenges. Sault College, based inSault Ste. Marie, for example,is set to see a drop of 63% in foreign students, affecting $40 million in revenues from its partnership with private college triOS College Business Technology Healthcare.On Wednesday, Adamson notified the faculty & staff of the affected programs about "the difficult, but necessary, evidence-based decisions" becoming the first public college in Ontario to officially announce such cuts.”Asia Careers Group SDN BHD - Investing in International Futures AIEA - Association of International Education Administrators British Council BUILA Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) | Bureau canadien de l’éducation internationale Education New Zealand | Manapou ki te Ao International Education Association of Australia (IEAA) Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia Jisc National Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (NAGCAS) NAFSA: Association of International Educators The Group of Eight UCAS UKCISA Universities Australia Universities Canada Universities UK Universities UK International

I truly commend their efforts. In a world grappling with widespread disinformation and misconceptions surrounding digital currencies, baseless accusations regarding inflation, and an influx of empty political theatrics devoid of substance, the call for heightened financial literacy and a strong foundation in economic citizenship education becomes absolutely imperative. Imagine a scenario where every member of the political sphere possesses a firm grasp of financial intricacies and the gen z are well-informed about the dynamic financial landscape. Such a transformation would not only bridge the gap between politics and humanity but also usher in an era where financial enlightenment takes precedence alongside political acumen. The time has come to shift the focus from an excess of political literacy to an urgent need for financial literacy! #financialliteracy #finlit Chris Hipkins Erica Stanford MP #newzealand David Kneebone

Love the concept of compulsory Financial Education at school level... Everyone should learn personal finance from very young age i.e. how to finance the fund needed and manage the fund to achieve Financially Independent Retire Early(FIRE) number i.e. be financially independent earlier ..#financialeducation #personalfinance #FIRE

It is more than the Ofsted ‘single word judgement’ that needs reviewing. Sometimes an Ofsted report’s currency is barely longer than the time from the inspection to the time the report is published. The current inspection cycle can judge a school and have that judgement unfairly hanging over the school for several years, yet we all know that schools can change quite rapidly. If we really want parents to have the information they need, an annual Report Card on each school tested and shared locally would help. A Report Card that includes the Ofsted judgement but much more information including explaining why the school may be Ofsted Good but standards are below national. An annual Report Card that includes current data on attendance, exclusions, the school’s local offer for SEND etc. Updating this locally on an annual basis including the views of parent/caters and pupils would give parents a far more insightful view of schools and reflecting their changes year by year.

Don't be surprised if rates jumps substantially next year. The huge drop in FAFSAs this year means fewer applicants this fall overall. Small private not-for-profits will have to offer massive discounts this year to attract the smaller pool of students it'll be competing for.#education #college #highered #payingforcollege #financialaid #FAFSA
