The article written by Dr. Allan Goodman from the Institute for International Education in the WYSE Weekender of November 6 is relevant and positive. EBI Consulting, which was founded 25 years ago to help international students from the Caribbean, Africa and the USA access Canadian educational institutions, has seen this almost inexorable growth in international education and celebrates its value.
The desire to learn by young and old alike is surely the most positive sign of the world heading in the right direction. Whether it is pandemics or autocrats, the desire to learn and more importantly, to travel and have the learning experience in other parts of the world, sustains our hope for a positive and bright future. And while the pandemic has forced the learning experience online, we believe this a temporary and necessary phenomenon. Students wish to interact with other students and experience the diversity of other cultures. Online learning, for all its technical prowess, cannot provide that experience. It cannot sate the natural curiosity of the human spirit that is on all of us but found most strongly in the young.
EBI Consulting Group is committed to ensuring those young travel and learn but travel and learn safely.
