International students seek in-person teaching

Survey of education agents suggests mobile students will want face-to-face tuition

International students will predominantly be looking for courses that offer face-to-face learning after the Covid pandemic, according to a survey of agents who place students on overseas courses.

More than 1,100 agents took part in the survey, conducted by university pathway firm INTO University Partnerships, with 95 per cent saying they anticipate student demand will mainly be for in-person teaching in the future. However, 72 per cent also reported that more students now are interested in blended delivery than in the years before the pandemic.
