As competition for international students continues to intensify and institutions endeavour to diversify their enrolments further, a new report shines the spotlight on Mexico – a country with 126+ million people, with 50% of households in urban areas identifying as middle class. The report, produced by international education services companies BMI and Jackfruit Marketing, is packed with statistics and practical tips to help institutions better understand the country’s education and recruitment scene.
The free, 60-page report contains various sections such as:
- Student enrolments in Mexico
- Enrolments in key destinations
- Market trends
- Tips on improving your results in-country
Combining data with on-the-ground experience in Mexico
The full report provides a review of Mexico’s enrolments across key states in the country, and presents a lengthy track record of statistics for 12 destination markets. Mexico’s story is further played out via a wide range of figures and insights covering the economic landscape, social media, latest trends and growth opportunities.
This latest piece of research continues to help higher education leaders to:
- Understand the strength of Mexico as an international education market and source of student recruitment.
- Discover how the market is changing and where enrolment opportunities exist.
- Learn tips and best practices in order to build links with key players in Mexico.
Report author and owner of Jackfruit Marketing Jackie Kassteen commented, “Our desk and field research gives educators the data and insights they need to understand Mexico’s education evolution, trends and challenges. We look forward to helping institutions use our findings to guide their marketing, recruitment and internationalisation strategies, especially for those who need to build brand presence and capture or win back market share as Mexico’s outbound demand patterns continue to evolve.”
While the US has always had a strong pull for Mexicans, the diversity of top destinations and increasing interest in non-English speaking countries illustrates Mexicans’ appetite for adventure and desire to go after a particular programme, no matter where it is in the world. The report traces over 20 years of enrolment data and mobility trends, plus shares the reasons for changes in preferences.
BMI’s Sales Director Rupert Merrick explained, “This is the third report BMI has co-produced with education marketing experts Jackfruit Marketing. Based on the appeal of previous reports on Vietnam and China’s Tier 2 Cities, we knew that international educators would be keen learn more about one of Latin America’s most powerful markets. We’ve been supporting outbound mobility in the region for more than 35 years, and we’re excited to help more institutions tap into Mexico’s potential.”
