Nord Anglia Education released global figures today showing that online STEM courses taken by its students between April and June this year were twice as popular compared to the same period last year. The figures are based on students' co-curricular activities on Global Campus, Nord Anglia's online learning platform used by its 67,000 students in 30 countries.
The latest figures show that 57% of Nord Anglia's students opted for courses on Science, Tech, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), representing a significant increase compared to 23% during the same period in 2020. April to June's top ten most popular learning activities on Global Campus featured six STEM courses, including 'Space Sustainability', developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to challenge students to create thoughtful solutions and promote sustainable space exploration.
With 73 schools based in the Americas, China, Southeast Asia, Middle East, India and Europe, Nord Anglia's analysis shows:
Nord Anglia's data found that between April and June this year, Global Campus recorded a 120% rise in users year on year.
Dr Elise Ecoff, Group Director of Education, Nord Anglia Education, said: "Across our schools we know that education technology is a powerful tool to empower teachers to bring learning to life and inspire students whether in the classroom or online. With Global Campus, developed by our team of educational experts, we have created a rich mix of engaging learning materials that complement schools' curricula and encourage students to discover, explore and collaborate with their global classmates."
Global Campus
Global Campus is Nord Anglia's exclusive online learning platform containing a rich mix of learning materials and resources that complement school curricula. Designed by Nord Anglia's team of educational experts and based on its collaborations with leading institutions, including The Juilliard School, MIT and UNICEF, the content is designed to nurture key transferable skills and help students further develop critical skills such as creativity, problem solving and communication.
Last year marked an exciting chapter for the British School Yangon as we launched our first MIT challenges, designed to push the boundaries of learning by encouraging students to dive deep into hands-on, collaborative problem-solving. From Early Years to Year 10, students engaged in challenges that stimulated their curiosity, sharpened their critical thinking, and connected classroom knowledge to real-world applications. What started as an initiative has now become a defining feature of our curriculum.
We are excited to share a significant milestone in our journey: The British School Yangon (BSY) has officially received accreditation from the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). This prestigious recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality education that aligns with British standards.
