Intensive English Language providers in the US saw another year of declining enrolments in 2018, but the downward trend has started to “level”, new IIE figures have revealed.

The first ever Global Forum for the Institute of International Education’s PEER initiative was held in New York City on April 4, and brought together international educators and facilitators to discuss refugee education in 2019.

A new scholarship administered by IIE offers STEM graduates the chance to study fully-funded at Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi.

Access to education, for the disadvantaged, or refugees, or for those who technology can enable, was a central conversation at the IIE Summit in New York.

US assistant secretary of state for Educational and Cultural Affairs, Marie Royce, has promised to do more to support the international education sector, saying, "We cannot continue with business as usual any longer. We must step up our game."

The number of international students being hosted by the US has surpassed one million for the third consecutive year, but new student enrolments fell by 6.6%, the latest data from Open Doors has revealed.

The #YouAreWelcomeHere announced its landmark eponymous scholarship program has been joined by more than fifty US colleges and universities.

PEER, the IIE’s platform listing information on scholarship and education opportunities for displaced students, is expanding to reach out to 10 countries.
