With the whole world gripped in the panic of the current pandemic, it is important for us to keep in mind, that this too shall pass, and, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. However, it’ll be inconsiderate of us to not talk about the effects that this pandemic has had on various sectors, including the higher learning, and its severe impacts on international education. Schools, colleges and universities being spaces for face-to-face learning across the world, have asked students to stay at home while educating continues via online methods. This shift away from in-class learning has come with heavy criticism, with several colleges instructing international students to go home immediately. Also, with notices sent to students to vacate campuses until further notice, students who have taken heavy loans or work part-time on campus have been left out in the cold.
Fortunately, not all colleges across the globe have treated their students in a similar manner, but perhaps, have found alternate solutions to help them get a thorough educational experience, and, keep their dreams of having a successful career alive. One such institution, which works relentlessly in the favor of their students, catering to the international audience, providing them with the best education and resources to ensure student’s success, Hanson, comes as a ray of hope, even during these gloomy times.

Words from Manny Bassi J.D., Vice President of Hanson Ontario
“An integral part of Hanson’s growth for the past 9 years, having worked in various capacities and now occupying the role of Vice President, Ontario. He has always shown a passion for education, from his days of being a student at University of Ottawa & Bond University in Australia (where he received his Juris Doctorate in Law), to the days before coming to Hanson, where he worked as an instructor. His specialization is in international education and is a firm believer that learning can unite persons from around the world.
