Article Abstract:

Education consultancy I-graduate will start a study in 2007 into how overseas agents operate, the relationships they have with the institutions they represent and how much they know of the institutions and their marketing strategies.

Immense benefit has been contributed by overseas educational consultants to even consider that any damage has been done to Britain or Australia, for that matter.For example,in ten odd years , Australi's intake of international students from India alone rose from 500 to 47000 students in about a decade.A serious globalised,cohesive and all encompassing study need to be done immediately.
