QUIC is our unique quarterly statistics scheme that provides in-depth insights on the UK ELT industry and its source markets every quarter. In 2021 it will run a little differently to normal. 

35 English UK member centres have been chosen to take part in an international project to help improve the confidence, language and teaching skills of English Teaching Association (ETA) members in 40 nations.

English UK welcomes the travel changes announced yesterday which will make it easier for more international students to travel to the UK.

From Monday 1 November, the seven remaining countries will come off the UK's red travel list. They are Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Also on Monday 1 November, 30 more countries will be added to the UK's approved vaccine programme list, bringing the total number to over 135 countries. Fully vaccinated adults (who have a UK-approved vaccine) and all under 18s arriving from these countries will not need to quarantine and only need to take a day two test.

We are delighted to welcome more new members to our association for the second month in a row and look forward to meeting representatives in person at one of our events very soon.
