Among its key findings, the report revealed that 64% of institutions use a standardised commission model, often incorporating tiered or escalator structures tied to agency performance. And commission management is typically centralised within international admissions and finance offices. Meanwhile, nearly half of respondents said they offered fixed-rate commission, with this and net-tuition models replacing traditional gross-tuition percentage models. More than six in 10 institutions have up to 20 agent partners, while 13% had over 100, the report revealed. The report found that many institutions are investing more heavily in agent communication and training, while continuing to prioritise in-country engagement with partners.
