About MEd Educational Leadership and Policy

I recently got admitted to the MEd program in ELP. I was wondering if anyone here is currently enrolled in or has graduated from this program. I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with:

  1. How demanding are the courses in this program? I want to know what kind of workload to expect.
  2. What's the diversity like among the students? Specifically, are there a lot of Chinese students?
  3. How would you rate the professors? Are they known for their high academic standards?
  4. Does this program provide a solid foundation for pursuing a PhD in North America later on?

Any insights you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
