The Stay Academy visits Moscow

CAMDEN, U.K. - March 26, 2015 - PRLog -- The Stay Academy Principal, Niel Pama is currently visiting Moscow to meet the school's partners and to attend ICEF Moscow, an education agent fair.

Mr Pama stated, “Despite the current economic climate in Russia, The Stay Academy feels, considering that the UK is Russia's number one destination for international education, it is important to support our loyal partners through this difficult time, so that we can both benefit when things improve."

The Stay Academy's concept of combining top quality residential accommodation with a British Council accredited school, in the same building, is seen by agents as perfectly suiting the Russian market where quality, style and convenience is highly valued.  English still remains the key to a better job in Russia or to gain the freedom to work abroad and since it is difficult to further their English language skills in Russia, going to study English in London is one of the fastest ways of improving, for students.

In addition to this, the desire of Russian parents to give their children an international education is growing and with the increasing number of students wanting to obtain a UK degree, TSA's International Foundation Year (IFY) programme gives students the perfect route to the best universities the UK has to offer. Since the IFY qualification is accredited and gains enrolment to over forty universities, it is ideal for Russian students who do not want to be forced to choose only one university, a fact true of many of the other foundation programmes offered in the UK at the moment.

With a volatile oil price and instability in Ukraine, it is still too early to know how this year will turn out for the Russian market but at the end of the day, Russia has been through many challenges and has always overcome them, so only time will tell.
