Evo Promotions Managing Director, On Why So Many Students Are Heading For Universities In The US

Feb. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Evo Promotions Managing Director, On Why So Many Students Are Heading For Universities In The US

Within four years, a quarter of sixth formers at a leading UK independent school will be heading for universities in the United States. That's the prediction of Anthony Seldon, head of Wellington College in Berkshire. Dr Seldon, one of the UK's most prominent head teachers, says that ambitious teenagers are looking further afield than ever before in their university choices. Managing Director of Evo Promotions, has commented on Dr Seldon’s predictions, saying, “Although it may not seem as one of the most positive reports, I personally think this is great for the students. To broaden their horizons and to develop their level of maturity.  When I read over a candidates CV and see they studied in America – of course I’m going to be impressed.”
At a recent talk with pupils, Dr Seldon said that around 40% of pupils claimed to want to go to US universities, with the expectation that many of these will actually go on to enrol. The level of interest is "rising sharply" this year, says commission director Lauren Welch. They were astounded when 4,000 students turned up for a US university recruitment fair in London in November 2011- which doubled previous years. When admissions figures are known in the new year, she expects a spike in applications. Evo Promotions Managing Director goes on to say, “It appears that with a rise in tuition fees in the UK and places becoming limited many students and parents are looking at alternative locations and employers are looking for someone with International awareness .”
A report from the Association of Graduate Recruiters and the Council for Industry and Higher Education, published last week, said that UK students were "lagging behind" in the skills needed by employers in a global economy. The report said major employers, operating across international borders, wanted competencies such as "global knowledge", "a global mindset" and "cultural agility". The British Council's Richard Everitt also backed an increase in students moving between the UK and US.
"Increased mobility between students in both directions can only strengthen our current ties, and create mutual opportunities for greater prosperity," he said.
Managing Director of Evo Promotions went on to say, “This has the potential to dramatically re-shape the UK education system with applicants for US universities climbing each year.”
