The success of ECA endeavours
is our focus on nationality mix. We are
not just reliant on one or two nationalities.
We profile students from each country
and further we profile students from
different cities within the same country
and run targeted campaigns, as student
requirements vary from city to city. We
have developed sophisticated systems
with targeted marketing, scholarships and
have managed to create a very successful
managed campus for our partner
universities.

Aileen Kane,
COO, Boarding Schools’ Association, UK “
One thing I have seen over the last 10 years of
boarding is that our schools are far more receptive
to changing family dynamics. There are a lot more
first time buyers in the market now then there was
in the past and the emerging trend seems to be
that pupils in the younger years will start by flexi-boarding
or boarding on an occasional basis, to suit
family demand. I quite often see children crossing
London to go to music lessons, sporting lessons,
etc. which is tiring for them. So the advantage
of flexi-boarding is that you can do those extra-curricular
activities and then it means the next time
you go home, it’s just quality family time.

co-founder, MIUSA, US
The Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs has recognised for many
years that disability is an important part
of diversity and they’re very committed
to diversity. I think the US has been a
leader in really ensuring that people with
disabilities are an integral part of all
international exchange programs. I think
there’s still a lot of work to be done.
I think we can still do a lot better. But we
do feel the support that that’s the direction
that everybody’s on the same page.
