The Council of British International Schools rallied behind its Ukrainian members at its annual conference in central London on May 8.

British international schools worldwide are continuing to see increases in enrolment while they are also visualising a reset in their education provision as the world comes out of the pandemic, delegates heard at COBIS 2022.

Nine in 10 leaders at British international schools find recruiting quality teachers ‘somewhat’ or ‘very challenging’, research has shown.

A survey of 115 COBIS members has found that numbers of schools reporting an uptick in student numbers has risen considerably for the 2021/22 school year.

UK international schools are in a unique position to foster intercultural learning and understanding, and the UK anticipates global growth, delegates heard at COBIS 2021.

The Council of British International Schools' members have "risen admirably" to the challenges of the global health pandemic, its annual survey suggested.

COBIS has announced several new partnerships with providers of Initial Teacher Training as part of its ongoing strategic work to support schools with addressing the global teacher supply challenge.

Voices across the sector have reacted as the UK government unveiled details of its new international education strategy. Increasing international numbers to 600,000 by 2030 is part of the strategy, critics of which say does not go far enough in terms of measures to achieve outlined growth.
