Study Group announces inaugural Agent Premier Club 2021 award winners
Today, Study Group hosted the first-ever Agent Premier Club awards ceremony. It celebrated the outstanding contribution of high achieving education consultant partners, in enabling international students to progress to the university programme of their choice in the 2019/2020 academic year.
A focus on the future of education
The virtual event, hosted by Study Group's Senior Leadership Team, opened with a critical review of the past year, which reflected on the need to change and adapt due to the impact of the pandemic to meet the evolving needs of international students across different geographical locations.
After the opening address, the event moved into an expert-panel discussion format, where Study Group’s valued agent partners had the opportunity to learn more about the latest developments in international education and strategies for future innovation from Sir Keith Burnett (Vice-Chair (Academic) at Study Group), Emma Lancaster (Study Group CEO), Manoj Shetty (Study Group’s Chief Revenue Officer) and Charlotte Von Essen (Director of Academic Engagement at Insendi).
Speaking about the future of education at the event, Charlotte Von Essen commented:
“Over this period education - and indeed many parts of society from retail to delivering healthcare to operations of government - have by necessity taken place online. This has demanded a rapid acquisition of skills on behalf of both teachers and students.
Online activity is now part of all our lives, and it will have a crucial role to play in the future, supporting face to face education and helping students succeed. We should though expect to see digital expertise become more sophisticated. We will not just be putting lectures online - students will reinforce and personalise their learning through personal programmes and interactions.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning also offer the chance for highly personal education support, which closely maps a student’s strengths and weaknesses, and which dramatically helps their attainment.”
