Canada’s international education sector sets clear calls to action
• Canadian stakeholders in international education advocate for a "whole-of-government" approach to enhance the sector's sustainability and responsibility.
• The Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) convened a national dialogue with over 225 participants from diverse backgrounds, including government officials, educators, and business leaders.
• The dialogue aimed to create a stable and predictable international education policy environment, described as "long overdue" by CBIE president Larissa Bezo.
• Key actions identified during the dialogue include:-
o Establishing a pan-Canadian ethical framework for international education practices.
o Aligning international student enrollment with labor market and demographic needs.
o Improving data sharing and coordination among stakeholders.
o Rebuilding Canada's education brand and emphasizing the value of international students.
• The dialogue highlighted the need for ongoing communication and collaboration to address challenges and opportunities in international education.
• Attendees called for a renewed international education strategy to replace the current one expiring this year, demonstrating government support for international students.
• The sector seeks to maintain Canada's position as a leading destination for international students, fostering global talent and contributing to the country's economic, social, and cultural landscape.
