In Week 8, the study on international recruitment in Canadian higher education (Xu & Miller, 2021) provided me with valuable insights into the role of education agents, revealing that many students face issues like misleading information and high costs. This has prompted me to rethink how institutions can better support international students by offering direct application assistance and minimizing reliance on agents. Additionally, my group presented two studies: "Politics of Internationalisation and the Migration-Higher Education Nexus" and "A Production of Education Migrants: A Case Study of South Korean Transnational Families in Canada." These studies highlighted the complex relationship between migration and education, particularly for transnational families. As for me, I have gone through this process, therefore, I understand these issues and really advocate for transparent recruitment practices and direct support services that prioritize students' best interests and ensure they are fully informed.
