What Diminishing Returns in Higher Education Mean for China, India and International Institutions
Over the past fifty years, higher education has expanded dramatically worldwide. According to UNESCO data, global tertiary participation has risen from below 10% in 1970 to above 40% today, with many countries now enrolling more than half of young adults.
A message from John Sykes, CEO, INTO University Partnerships
Twenty years ago, INTO was founded on a simple belief: that the best outcomes in international education come from partnerships built to last. Not transactional arrangements, but deeply, embedded partnerships, with universities and agents alike. That belief hasn't changed. And in a market that is changing fast, I think it matters more than ever.
