ICEF Podcast: Why agents will play a key role in rebuilding international enrolments post-pandemic

In this episode of our continuing podcast series, ICEF’s Craig Riggs (editor of ICEF Monitor) and Martijn van de Veen (vice-president of business development) discuss some of the trends shaping student mobility this quarter, including some important developments in China and new student loan supports for international students.

They are joined this month by Vincenzo Raimo, adjunct professor at the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology and global higher education specialist, who expands on some of his ongoing research on education agents and their increasingly important role in international recruitment.
