Competition for international students is growing. The top destinations—Canada, UK, Australia, and the USA—have seen fewer applications this year due to stricter policies.
Meanwhile, non-English-speaking countries are gaining popularity. Germany leads with its focus on student success, while France and Finland also attract more students.
In Asia :
In Asia, India is promoting local study options, while China is offering visa-free policies to certain European countries. South Korea and Taiwan aim to boost enrolments by 2030.
In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 aims to make the country a global education hub.
Artificial Intelligence :
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education by matching students with courses, simplifying applications, and improving the classroom experience. However, interpersonal skills remain essential, with AI even helping students build confidence and abilities.
International students :
International students bring entrepreneurial energy, with many contributing to local economies. For example, 143 billion-dollar startups in the US were founded by former international students in 2022.
- The report emphasizes that education providers, industries, and governments must work together to attract and retain skilled talent. Opportunities exist to align education with future workforce needs.
The year 2025 promises new challenges and opportunities as the education industry adapts to global changes.
