“The single most comprehensive and useful source for this type of information”
“As a student of international education a few years ago and as a practitioner today it is an invaluable source of current research that is out there. Many of us do not have access to wonderful libraries to source the information but more importantly for those of us who are very busy we do not have the time. The IDP database has it all there at your finger tips”
“As both a contributor and a regular user, I have found it to be a wonderful resource in an area of education that has little resources to draw upon”
“An important source for the study of international education”
“Thanks for sharing with the list! This is an outstanding resource”
This is developing into a really useful archive
“Without it, I would simply have to spend hundreds, if not thousands more hours to get data on what is happening or current in the Australian international education industry in terms of qualitative and quantitative research”
