ISC Research: Solutions for International School Suppliers
ISC Research solutions for international school suppliers
Any organisation supplying educational goods or services should make international schools a focus of their sales and marketing strategy.
The issues for suppliers, service providers, institutions and organisations considering this market include:
- How large is the international school market?
- How does the international school market break down - by geography, curriculum, age range, language, etc?
- Where are the international schools and how can we contact them?
The ISC Research international school database and online system can answer all these questions.
Growth of the international school market
The last seven years has seen a significant growth in the international school market. ISC Research predicts that it will soon overtake the UK domestic schools market. Looking at the five UN defined regions of the world we see a rise in the number of schools of:
This represents a total growth in the international school community of +146% in 7 years and, significantly, the number of students has doubled.
It is clear that there is no end in sight for the demand for places at all types of English-medium international school. Governments too, increasingly recognise the importance of having a vibrant international schools market and some, like Korea, are actively encouraging schools to open. There are considerable economic advantages to them and it reduces the need for their own students to study abroad. More and more countries are allowing their nationals to attend these schools. Altogether, the proportion of schools run for profit is increasing significantly.
