at Tokyo International Forum
At the 2004 JAOS Spring General Meeting, it was decided that JAOS should work more directly with overseas schools as well as the embassies of various countries in order to break the inaccurate perception that study abroad agencies act merely as recruiters for overseas study. As a first step, JAOS made a well-received presentation on the numerous merits of using an agency at a U.K. Overseas Study Fair organized by the British Council, which has long been supportive of JAOS’ efforts.
