INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
particular job they’re recruiting for. I believe it’s key that we teach children the thinking skills to solve problems themselves, because we don’t actually know what problems they will face when they go out into the world. “Six years ago, the iPad didn’t exist. In another six years, the
first children coming into my secondary school will graduate, they’ll come out into the world – and we don’t know what that world will look like.” Watch a video interview with Barnaby Sandow on our website.
Relocation hotspots Relocate’s education guides provide practical advice on admissions changes and challenges across relocation hotspots worldwide, including destinations in the US, APAC, the UK, and particularly Europe as employers consider the implications of Brexit.
The Netherlands As Brexit negotiations gather pace, the Netherlands is one of the countries emerging as a possible location for companies moving employees from the UK. It’s good news, then, that relocating there is relatively easy. The education options on offer are one of the attractions, with even the state system offering an international- style education. Relocate spoke to Kieran Earley, CEO and principal of the
British School in the Netherlands. “This is an interesting time,” he said, “because there are potential growth areas, with companies potentially moving across from the UK, so we have to be responsive to that. The economy is strong, and it’s a very stable, sensible country that’s doing a lot of great stuff.”
Mr Earley is very aware of the importance of having good
contacts with local businesses that can potentially offer students business experience or internships. “You need to be connected with your local community. You need to be finding out what’s happening and where, and we’re determined to do that.” Watch a video of our interview with Kieran Earley on the website.
France The choice in France is likely to fall between state-run local schools and fee-paying private or international schools. However, the integration of expat children into the French system can prove challenging, not only because of language issues but also as a result of teaching methods that are more rigorous than those of many other countries. The long school days and a different perception of the teacher’s
role and authority can also be difficult for expat children to accept, explains Martina Meinhold, founder and owner of Paris-based Management Mobility Consulting, a past winner of Relocate’s award for Best International Destination Services Provider. France has around 110 international schools. In Paris and its
western suburbs, parents have a wide choice, but this is not the case throughout the country. IB schools can be found in Lyon, Nice, Aix-en-Provence and Sophia Antipolis, near Nice, Ms Meinhof says.
Germany Germany is leading the way in the EU economy, and is one of the countries most likely to receive a flow of relocatees from organisations ranging from banks to automotive. It offers plenty of education choices for relocating families. ➲
