How to work with education agents in Indonesia
In Indonesia ‘middle men’ are used for all kinds of services, including planning a study overseas. Education agents act as intermediaries when interests of students and their parents are to be converted into actual placements at foreign universities.
A recently updated report of Nuffic Neso Indonesia gives insight into the potential added value of these agents, the risks involved in working with them and how to use them successfully.
The report includes information on:
- the role and services of education agents in Indonesia;
- the usage of agents by Indonesian students and parents;
- how other recruiting countries are using education agents;
- how Nuffic Neso Indonesia is dealing with education agents;
- how the Dutch higher education institutions are using or could be using education agents.
The conclusions of the report should support institutions in deciding whether working with agents is a good idea. The practical recommendations will help to get you started if you decide that working with agents is the way forward in Indonesia.
