ISC Research has just released a new white paper on how international schools are currently making purchasing decisions and selecting education suppliers. It is a valuable guide for education suppliers wishing to better understand the needs of this sector and how to develop business within it. Join ISC Research at this briefing session to learn more about the research results behind this white paper and how it might impact your sales and marketing strategies, alongside an update on the international schools market at the start of 2022.

12:40 - 1:30 - An overview of UK Education

BESA's Deputy Director General, Julia Garvey, will give a primer on the key structures of the English school system, the national curriculum, assessment and accountability within schools – alongside emerging trends, such as the rise of the Multi-Academy Trusts. The workshop also aims to give participants a good working knowledge of the key government departments and agencies. This session is for those new to the education sector.

We look forward to meeting you.
