Agency problems in agent-based international student recruitment

Most higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK, Australia and New Zealand actively work with international student recruitment agents. This recruitment mode entails multiple risks, which can jeopardise the interests of international students, providers, and/or the government.

This presentation examines agency problems in agent-HEI-government relationships and the extent to which these can be mitigated.

This event will be particularly useful for those interested in policies and practices in higher education.
