Kaplan currently serves around 150 Mexican students and the new centre in Polanco, Mexico City will cater for students interested in one of its 45 schools across the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malta.

It will also advise Mexican students considering higher education options in the UK or the USA as well as offering students a guaranteed place at one of Kaplan’s partner universities in both these regions following successful completion of their respective university preparation courses.

“Our staff are extremely experienced in working with the student population and we will provide expert services to meet the needs of our students, whether that is for English language teaching or preparing for entry to US or UK universities,” he added.
