Attitudes are changing towards higher education ranking lists
https://www.wittenborg.eu/harvard-medical-school-opts-out-us-news-ranking.htm
Recently, Harvard Medical School (HMS) revealed that it would no longer be submitting information to U.S. News & World Report, a body that ranks higher learning institutions, from law schools to business schools, in the USA and across the world. The U.S. News & World Report is one of the most popular tools used by English-speaking prospective students and has been conducting rankings since 1983. The move by HMS comes after many prestigious, US-based law schools, including Harvard Law School, announced they would also no longer be submitting data to the ranking system in November 2022. Harvard is one of the best-known learning institutions around the world and has been consistently ranked by the U.S. News & World Report as one of the top institutions across the globe. U.S. News & World Report's executive chairman and CEO Eric Gertler says the company will continue to rank schools regardless of whether they submit data.

From 6 to 8 February, recruitment agents from across South Asia, including India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – with others across the world – met with one another to trade ideas and create a stronger network for international education. “The purpose of the trip was to meet with our existing agents to show gratitude for their continued hard work, as well as building relationships with new agents,” Sheppard explains.
Around 400 professionals were in attendance, all of them having been pre-screened to ensure they meet the robust standards of the ICEF organising committee. Approximately 175 higher learning institutions were represented, with 175 agents and 50 service providers also present to connect with one another as some of the top education experts in the world. All were eager to partake in ICEF’s expansion into the South Asian region. Sheppard says, “Networking is especially important, and I managed to spend a lot of time with some key people socially as well as during the meetings.”
