British Council Indonesia held its School Tour in Jakarta and Greater Jakarta in October 2018, visiting 10 reputable schools with international curriculum.

British Council Indonesia collaborated with each of the host schools to hold a mini exhibition targeting at the students and parents as the key audience.

The host schools were chosen based on the potential and interest of its students to continue undergraduate programme overseas.

The aims of this school tour are as follows:

• Profile raising activity for UK HEI
• Expand network with local international schools
• Increase UG student recruitment
• Possible partnership opportunities such as student inward and outward mobility

There were around approximately 840 students and parents attended the School Tour from 10 host schools in Jakarta and Greater Jakarta. Feedback from the UK institutions’ representatives attended the tour in overall was positive. Presentations on various related topics such as Applying to a Russell Group University and the opportunities for study and research at leading Russell Group Institutions; How to apply for the Student Visa and Employability.

British Council Indonesia undertook a review of the School Tour to identify what went well, what did not go well, and the key ‘lessons learnt’ to inform future activities. With feedbacks from exhibitors, this post-event report presents the results of that review.
