9 个月While agent regulation may be necessary, transparency would be far more beneficial for everyone involved. With governments in #Australia #Canada & the #UK emphasising increased #agent regulation within #internationaleducation, we must consider how we arrived at this point & whether regulation is the best path forward, or if demanding total transparency from all #universities & agents regarding their relationships is the better approach. Regulation would add further costs & administrative burdens to universities, which already have access to agent contracts, financial data, student numbers & completion rates. So why regulate when compelling transparency is the better course of action? Over the last decade, the agent market has ballooned, with federal government data showing that over 75% of #Australian #internationalstudents & an estimated 60% of UK international students come through agent referrals. In the UK, there is no data to provide an accurate picture of the number of students #recruited through agents, despite voluntary schemes. This lack of transparency results in hefty commission payments to overseas actors, amounting to millions of pounds, with little if any oversight. University World News
