ICEF Podcast: Together for transparency – Building global standards for ethical international student recruitment

Listen in as ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen recap some of the latest news and developments in our sector, including the changing composition of ELT enrolment in Ireland, and a longer-term perspective on English language learning trends in the United States.

Our hosts are then joined by an expert panel for a feature discussion on standards and quality assurance in student recruitment. The panelists include Gordon Lunan, Vice President, Commercial Operations at INTO University Partnerships; Ghadah Khojah, the Founder of Cayenne Education; and Flavio Crusoé, the CEO of BEX - Brazilian Exchange.
