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.
Please try the survey yourself.
Please ask all your INBOUND and OUTBOUND
students to complete the survey.

We picked some representative samples, to
show how we can learn about strengths and
weaknesses.
We are not identifying the groups, as we think
that would be counter-productive
