ISC data and intelligence is used by universities around the world to develop strategic international plans for student recruitment and teacher training
There are over 7,700 K-12 English-medium international schools in the world with senior high and sixth form students aiming for undergraduate degrees at the university of their choice, most often in Western countries. In total there are over 12,000 K-12 English-medium international schools employing more than 631,000 teachers who all require teaching qualifications and professional development.
“I’m finding ISC Online a useful tool and appreciate the value it brings, not just to my work in East Asia, but the wider mailing campaigns across the world have been successful, as have email invitations to events we’ve held in places such as UAE.”
Ben Charlton, International Development Officer, The University of Buckingham, UK
