Purpose of the survey How it is managed Demonstration Some sample results

The primary purpose of the survey is to find reasons for increasing rates of early returns,

to allow us (districts, multi-districts, countries, and RYE as a whole) to improve our programs by identifying and correcting deficiencies.

The survey is intended to be completed by students near or shortly after the end of their exchange.

Administration of the survey has been greatly simplified, with one survey for all students.
