AEAS Australian Schools Workshop for Education Agents
Friday 18 September 2026 | BANGKOK, THAILAND
AEAS is pleased to invite your education agency to participate in an exclusive face-to-face workshop with leading Australian schools.
DATE: Friday 18 September 2026
VENUE: Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park
TIME: 9.30am – 4.30pm
This event provides agents with the opportunity to meet directly with school representatives, strengthen existing partnerships, and gain updated information about enrolment opportunities, admissions expectations, student support and pathways for Thai students considering an Australian school education.
The workshop is designed to support agencies in providing families with accurate, up-to-date guidance about studying at Australian primary and secondary schools.
Places are limited and early registration is strongly recommended!
Why should my agency participate?
Thai families are increasingly reassessing overseas study destinations as education policy changes continue across key competitor markets.
Recent policy shifts in the UK, Canada, the United States and New Zealand have increased interest in Australia’s highly regarded schools sector, particularly among families seeking long-term stability, strong university pathways and high-quality student support.
New Zealand’s upcoming curriculum and entry requirement changes are also expected to make student placement more complex for many agencies, creating additional demand for strong alternative pathways through Australian schools.
At the same time, demand for Australian school education in Thailand continues to grow rapidly. Attendance at the most recent AEAS Exhibition in Bangkok nearly doubled compared with previous years, highlighting the increasing interest from Thai families exploring Australian school options.
For many Thai families already considering premium international school tuition, Australian independent schools now represent an attractive combination of academic quality, value and future opportunity.
This workshop provides Thai education agencies with the opportunity to meet directly with Australian school representatives, strengthen relationships, and gain updated information about enrolment availability, admissions expectations, visa considerations and student preparation for 2027, 2028 and beyond.
For agencies looking to expand their Australian schools business, the workshop offers valuable market insight and direct access to schools, helping your team provide clearer guidance and stronger support to Thai families considering an Australian education pathway.
