What is the ONE thing that any school must do in order to successfully recruit students in 2021? This applies across the board, for schools with an international student program and schools without one: articulate a clear and concise COVID-19 mitigation strategy for re-opening.
Some schools may already be open, while others have been exclusively relegated to distance learning for months, nevertheless, in order to attract any new students, foreign or domestic, students and parents must feel safe.
