(from ICEF Monitor) After a marginal decline in 2017, international enrollment in independent secondary schools in the UK rebounded to report year-over-year growth of 4.5 percent. In absolute terms, foreign students with parents overseas grew from 27,281 in 2017 to 28,513. This is according to the annual census of the 1,326 member schools of the Independent Schools Council (ISC). China (including Hong Kong) accounted for roughly two-thirds of the net growth reported by ISC schools. The continuing strength of this major sending market has helped to offset more mixed results from British schools.
