How is the sector responding to ELT school closures and what happens next?
In one week in September, two major English language schools closed abruptly. EC English Language Centres ceased trading on 14 September, affecting roughly 1,500 students in 24 schools across seven destinations. A few days later, on 18 September, ILAC filed for bankruptcy disrupting the studies of nearly 1,400 students in Toronto and Vancouver.
