Key outcomes
BONARD continues with New Tier 1 cities agency update, out of 2,000+ agencies reached in 5 cities (Shenyang, Qingdao, Nanjing, Chengdu, Hangzhou), there are 412 still active (18%) and have study abroad related business;
There are no significant changes in terms of the type of programs and destinations preference, a majority still focus on higher education programs, agencies in Qingdao are more flexible;
In general, agencies are more stable and prefer industry referral when choosing the new partners; there’s a need to quickly re-activate existing channels and meanwhile speed up sub-agencies or new agencies expansion to key regions in order to grow and recover faster;
Agencies haven’t felt the influence of “Double relief” policy on the international education sector yet, but consider rather a positive impact long-term speaking. There might be an increasing demand for programs such as summer camps.
