Presentation title: From Made in China to Created in China
China has been the biggest source market of international students for over two decades. Its international education landscape, however, is undergoing the most significant reset in a generation, and the old student-recruitment playbook no longer fits. In this session, we will examine the structural shifts and unpack their strategic implications for Australian school providers through the following topics:
- China in a nutshell
- Market trends and observations
- Recruitment catchment transformation
- New value lens – practicality over prestige
- Chinese parent social-media decision journey
Tracy Harris
