Advisory Panel on International Education Strategy of Canada

The Government of Canada announced the formation of an advisory panel, chaired by Amit Chakma, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Western Ontario, London, Ont., that will deliver recommendations on a stronger international education strategy to attract international students to Canada. The advisory panel will consult with stakeholders in the education sector and develop recommendations that will reinforce Canada as a country of choice for those seeking to study and conduct world-class research. The advisory panel will report to the ministers of International Trade and Finance in early 2012. Formation of the panel builds on a commitment made in Budget 2011, which provided $10 million over two years to develop an international education strategy as part of the next phase of Canada’s Economic Action Plan.
