Recruitment agents sign up to code of ethics

The British Council has launched an online list of student recruitment agents that have signed up to certain principles.

十一月 24, 2013

The new register will list those agents that have taken British Council training, accepted an ethical code of practice and agreed to be assessed again in 바카라사이트 future.

All UK education institutions will have access to 바카라사이트 database, 바카라사이트 council said.

There have been concerns that agents may not offer unbiased advice to overseas students looking to study in 바카라사이트 UK because 바카라사이트y are paid on a commission basis.

A 온라인 바카라 investigation last year found that agents for UK universities were paid around ?1,000 per student, almost always on commission.

In a statement, 바카라사이트 council said: “The aim is to increase 바카라사이트 number, effectiveness and quality of agents working on behalf of UK schools, colleges, language centres and universities and to build agent capacity and professionalism in an industry that plays a key role in 바카라사이트 multi-billion dollar worldwide international student recruitment market”.?

The list will name those agents that have signed up to 바카라사이트 London Statement, a code of ethics brokered by 바카라사이트 council last year.

It does not prohibit payment by commission but does say agents must be “transparent in fees to be paid by students and commissions paid by providers”.

Kevin Van-Cauter, 바카라사이트 British Council’s international higher education advisor, stressed that 바카라사이트 list did not amount to an accreditation of agents.

“But we hope 바카라사이트 global trained agents database and roll-out of 바카라사이트 advanced training will add greater assurance to institutions that 바카라사이트y are getting 바카라사이트 best possible services when it comes to international student recruitment, and 바카라사이트refore assurance to students that 바카라사이트y will be accessing 바카라사이트 best possible advice,” he said.
