ABSTRACT

Through a unique, multifaceted research approach, the report features first-hand insights from students, education agencies, language centres and market insiders as well as the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

The result is a one-stop resource that details promotional matrix, marketing and recruitment strategies, leveraging items that are of great importance not only to Japanese students but also to education agencies. Agencies form an inherent and longstanding element of the Japanese market and, apparently, have the appetite to partner with more UK ELT providers. As many as 61% of responding agencies wanted more partners in the UK.

Thanks to our long-term industry experience, market knowledge and intelligence, and professional and results-driven staff, we are more time- and cost-efficient than our clients could be.
