Students globally will be able to discover "extraordinary opportunities" at community colleges thanks to a new collaboration.

The Association of Boarding Schools and AIRC have announced a five-year agreement seeking to expand secondary educational opportunities for students globally.

Dual intent should be permitted during F-1 visa applications to the US, while issues around Chinese student ties to the military may hamper US attempts to recruit more students going ahead, stakeholders have said.

US institutions are looking for cost-effective solutions to engage with international Generation Z students as budgets have been slashed at colleges, delegates at the annual AIRC conference have shared.

The AIRC has graduated the first cohort of 13 international education professionals of its International Student Recruitment and Enrolment Planning program.

The US State Dept used the AIRC Conference to speak of its marketing mission and increased engagement with education agencies as it seeks to maintain international student market share.

US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has clarified that Form I-20 must only be directly issued to prospective students, rather than agents or representatives.

In a historic move, the US Department of State has officially endorsed the usage of education agents by attending the AIRC conference and speaking in collaborative tones at a plenary alongside counterparts from the US Department of Commerce.
