Going to NAFSA from KL — come say hi and talk all things international student experience and our study abroad benchmarking process, iMPACT. Looking forward to meeting you! #NAFSA#Etio
We’ve loved working with CPCE for many years it’s been fantastic to see how far the student experience has evolved—more connected, more data‑informed,. Here I am with Iris Yuet - she's their Marketing Manager and full of ideas and enthusiasm, especially with the new focus on AI
I love working with IMU University. They really get our Barometer data and use it at a granular level to continually enhance the student experience. I present there once a year and always get a good crowd - both online, across their campuses and in person.
A visit to PSB Academy with a constantly improving student experience. The institution combines internationally recognised curricula with strong academic support, practical hands-on learning and a focus on employability . We love working with them. #PSBAcademy #Etio #ISB
A chat with Pilus from Universiti Petronas about their use of the Student Barometer in their fabulous new student centre.
Up to UTP for their barometer results. A campus that has been transformed since we began working with them. They really care about the student experience.
Great start to APAIE at the reception for HKUST partners. I'm with Chainarong "Beer" Thongboonchuen from IIE. #ABROADATHKUST #ETIO

It’s Children’s Mental Health Week and it’s so important for us to encourage our children to share their thoughts and feelings about their mental health and to support one another.

Does higher education bring better pay and job prospects?
New data show:
➡️Upper secondary education provides much better employment prospects, but limited wage gains.
➡️Tertiary education brings high wage gains as well as good employment prospects.

Great to be working with APAIE in India and Hong Kong. Catch up with old friends and meeting new ones.
Penang is a great place to look at Australian ASEAN collaboration. Thanks to AUN and AFG for organising.
Sunway University and the White Tigers — an extraordinary sight! It’s the only campus where you literally walk over a white tiger to get to class. We love partnering with them to put the student voice at the centre of everything they do. #Etio #SunwayUniversity #ISB
Wonderful day at the University of Auckland presenting their ISB data to senior management. They are truly dedicated to enhancing the student experience. Coupled to an ambitious New Zealand national strategy in place, I am confident that only success lies ahead in the future.
I met with my good friend, Selwyn Ng, who heads up Student Experience at Monash Malaysia. We talked about how they’re working hard to improve and evaluate the student journey—constantly looking for ways to make student life better and more engaging.

Fabulous first day at SIIEJ in Kyoto. A golden opportunity for Japanese Higher Education if they can embrace the moment and we are here to help so they can really understand their international students. #Etio#SIIEJ#InternationalStudentBarometer
In 2025 and 2026, Asian countries, including Malaysia, have a golden opportunity to become top destinations for international students.
