🇨🇳 While the attendees at ICEF China are busy networking, we look back at the first day, which featured an insightful programme of seminars and panel discussions.

🗣️ Led by ICEF’s Martijn Van de Veen, this lively panel discussion in Shanghai focused on the expanding role of agents when it comes to effectively guiding Chinese students to the right study destination. Martijn was joined by Dave Amor (Higher Insights Ltd), Shangjiao Sun (Erlun Education), and Kiran Patel (China - Britain Business Council) for a detailed discussion that covered a wealth of topics including:

💰 Affordability - a sensitive issue in a challenging economic climate
🛂 Visa policies - demonstrating the importance of understanding local concerns
🌱 Emerging opportunities - looking at new destinations and programme types

🇨🇳 Nǐ hǎo from Shanghai! We’re at the 5-star Hyatt on the Bund hotel for the first day of ICEF China, which opened with a comprehensive programme of seminars and panel discussions.

🤝 Our spotlight session from today was a special presentation, led by Daniel Zheng (Hope International Education), who provided a clear, data-driven analysis of evolving study destination choice for Chinese students. The session not only identified the major players emerging on the scene, but also considered their primary advantages over the big four study destinations of 🇦🇺 Australia, 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇬🇧 the UK, and 🇺🇸 the US.

South Korea has emerged as a significant study destination for international students.

In 2023, the 🇰🇷 South Korean government unveiled its target to attract 300,000 international students by 2027. This August it hit that target, some two years early, with 🇨🇳 China and 🇻🇳 Vietnam its key source markets.

Initiatives attracting students include:

🎯 Expanded maximum working hours for students
🎯 Eased financial requirements for D-2 visa
🎯 Easing of post-study work rights
🎯 Enhanced recruitment efforts in key target markets

⭐ At the ICEF Monitor Global Summit held in London last month, there was understandably a good deal of discussion around the issue of compliance set against the backdrop of evolving government policy.

🎓 As part of a panel on the changing face of compliance, Dr Diana Beech (Finsbury Institute) noted, “The graduate route is always open for tweaks, so let’s not take the current situation for granted. I hope the sector does heed the warnings so that we’ll be doing compliance by our own hand, rather than being told to do it.”

With so much change taking place, staying ahead is increasingly challenging. Join us at ICEF Berlin, November 2 - 4, and enjoy a full programme of seminars dedicated to keeping you up to date. 👉 Learn more: 🔗 https://icef.com/Berlin

What does compliance really mean in international education?

It’s more than a requirement, it is what builds trust, ensures integrity, and keeps every part of the study abroad journey transparent and accountable.

When education institutions, agents, and counsellors follow strong compliance practices, they create a foundation of confidence that supports every student’s journey.

By understanding and applying these practices, we protect what matters most: the student experience.

🎓 ICEF's training arm, ICEF Academy is just one of the ways in which ICEF can help strengthen your approach to compliance and achieve success with integrity. Explore our courses for agents and educators now: https://www.icef.com/academy/training/
