collaboration with governments, fostering strategic partnerships and program development for institutions, and enhancing student and alumni outcomes through the global Alumni UK network.<\/p>\n<p>Driven by four key actions, the new strategy aims to strengthen data and insights, enable growth through policy reform and partnerships in collaboration with the UK International Education Champion and government departments, and showcase TNE\u2019s role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n<p>The strategy will apply across all regions where the British
