Listen in as 51��Ƶ’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen recap some recent industry developments, including a sharp increase in proof of funds requirements in Ireland and how international education is factoring in this week's national election in Australia.

Our focus this time is on declining, domestic college-aged populations that are projected for a number of countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Each is exploring solutions to the so-called "enrolment cliff" in order to shore up post-secondary enrolment, ensure the financial stability of higher education institutions, enhance the diversity and global competitiveness of their campuses, and continue to attract new talent. As you might guess, international education factors in many of those plans.

Joining our hosts to explore this important issue are Angel Ahmed, Founder and CEO of GNET-Global Network and Kirsten Feddersen, Vice President of Partnerships, USA for IDP.

We conclude with a closer look at Thailand as the latest stop for our “Keys to the Market” segment.
