Welcome to our Asia Pacific virtual event

Exploring innovative ways to support online education and assessment

Cambridge Assessment English is bringing together key stakeholders from destination and source countries in a two-day virtual event to share insight on the following topics:

• International education changes in destination markets
• International student mobility and trends in source markets
• Digital technologies to support online education and assessment during the pandemic; and
• Different routes to Higher Education.

Part of the University of Cambridge, Cambridge Assessment English helps millions of people learn English and prove their skills to the world. As a university department, and the producer and co-owner of IELTS we understand the rapidly changing context and challenges facing HEIs.
