In this episode, ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen discuss the latest developments in our sector, including the UK's decision to block accompanying dependants as of January 2024 and recent tuition fee increases in China.

The episode features a special discussion on the role of sub-agents and aggregators with special guests Gautham Kolluri, the founder and managing director of CIP Study Abroad and Chris Price, senior vice-president partnerships (UK & Europe) with Adventus.
