Is AI Affecting College Admissions?
As artificial intelligence has become increasingly prevalent, so have discussions about its place in higher education. A growing number of college professors say they're embracing tools like ChatGPT in their classrooms, and many admissions offices are incorporating some form of AI in the decision-making process, a trend that many say will grow in the coming years.
Fifty percent of higher education admissions offices are using AI, according to a September 2023 survey by Intelligent, an online magazine focused on higher education. That number is expected to rise to more than 80% in 2024, according to the survey, which polled nearly 400 education professionals in both K-12 and higher education.

How international schools catering to South Asians are increasing their Japan presence
Most international schools in Japan are known for catering to wealthy Western expats, Japanese returnees, and children from multiracial or multicultural families. In recent years, though, more international schools have opened to serve non-Japanese Asian communities, drawing more and more students as the populations of such communities rise across the country.
With lower tuition than legacy international schools, these schools are becoming an affordable option for expats of varied nationalities who might stay in Japan for the longer term and Japanese parents looking for accessible international education.
Over the past two decades, the number of students at GIIS has soared — from 60 in 2006 to 1,300 this year — alongside the growth of the Indian community in Japan. As of the end of June, there were 46,262 Indian residents in Japan, double the figure from a decade ago.

Exploring the true price tag of fashion education: A global insight into the costs of fashion schools
Venturing into the world of fashion holds an irresistible allure, especially when setting sights on one of the pivotal hubs in this industry: Paris, New York, Milan, or London. These cities serve as the breeding grounds for the most iconic names in the fashion realm.

Hong Kong government asked to enrol more students from mainland China amid falling birth rate
Hong Kong’s Subsidised Primary Schools Council’s new chairman has reached out to the government in a move aimed at helping public institutions in the city survive by enabling them to take in more pupils from mainland China.
Veteran educator So Ping-fai said the city’s shrinking student population was threatening to not only shut down schools but also put teachers’ jobs at risk.
“The high level of pessimism among the principals is unprecedented,” he said. “The government should pay attention as it is not ideal for everyone to live in such a pessimistic state … The bleak, unstable outlook is affecting students and lots of teachers who have families.”
So, who is the principal of Tin Shui Wai Methodist Primary School, is due to retire at the end of the current academic year. The educator with more than 30 years’ experience was elected council chief in November.
