Revealing the State of International Schools Websites in Southeast Asia: Monsido's Benchmark Report 2023

Web accessibility is a vital aspect of ensuring an inclusive and accessible online experience for all users. Monsido's benchmark report reveals that while progress has been made in terms of content quality and SEO, web accessibility remains a significant challenge for many international schools. In Asia, approximately 700 million people live with some form of disability, which emphasizes the vital importance of ensuring digital accessibility in this region. However, the report highlights that the average accessibility score for international schools in Southeast Asia was just above the recommended threshold at 70.61%. It is clear that efforts must continue to prioritize accessibility in web development to cater to students, employees, and their families with diverse needs.

Engaging website visitors with high-quality content is crucial for international schools. Monsido's benchmark report unveils that there is significant room for improvement in delivering consistent and exceptional content quality. The average content quality score across all tested international school websites in Southeast Asia was just 57.1%. However, several institutions deserve recognition for their outstanding effort in raising the bar for content quality assurance. 100 Lambs International School and North London Collegiate School (Singapore) led the pack with exceptional scores of 100%, followed closely by Tanglin Trust, The British International School, Singapore, which scored an impressive 99.56%. By investing in content creation, curation, and review processes, international schools can effectively communicate their unique value propositions and enhance the user experience.
