nternational schools are expanding fast. All with the aim of helping students to develop into compassionate, capable and confident global citizens. Once concentrated to certain countries and
regions, world-class education options for international assignees and their families are spreading to further cities across Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Africa - from Almaty to Sofia and Nairobi. According to an EY report ‘better family opportunities’ were among the big drivers for Gen Z, millennials and Gen X professionals choosing to take on an international assignment. The availability of good quality international schools in a country or city plays a major role in that. Across Asia it has been a busy year for international
schools, with the continent offering even more options for discerning parents looking for a high-quality education.
