“Do not think that world-class higher education delivered in the UK means that we have a God-given right to continue to be a top recruiter… “We are seeing our position eroded so we have to find new ways of getting to students.” So said David Pilsbury, chief development officer at Oxford International Education Group, at Jisc’s Data Matters conference this week. Also speaking at the conference in Manchester, Janet B. Ilieva, founder of the Education Insight consultancy, said global student flows have changed significantly since the coronavirus pandemic. “In the next few decades, global mobility will continue to be shaped by the two most prominent players, which are China and India, however there are some significant changes in terms of student decision-making,” she said. Chinese families are more price sensitive, shifting their preferences away from the West. “What we are seeing is a growing number of students choose to study in a country that’s much nearer to their home, so intra-regional mobility is likely to shape the future of international student mobility.” What do you think? Can the UK maintain its status as one of the world’s top destinations for international students?
