Global Education Overview
Trends across the landscape of international education
Internationalization of education is one of the world’s fastest-evolving trends. Since 2000 the number of tertiary students enrolled outside their country of citizenship has risen by over 50%. The freer movement of people, capital and services has set the stage for a new chapter in global education provision.
In recent times, ease of long distance travel, fast economic growth, and shortfalls of home provision of education have driven demand. Students are crossing borders, learning the lingua franca, and gaining tertiary qualifications abroad to lift prospects and earnings. Spurring this along is strong labour market demand for higher qualified workers.
Study Group provides education at the leading edge of this shifting world. Students today are technologically literate, with greater education expectations, and more consumer power than ever to satisfy their demands. Whether it’s world-class programmes and care or commited social responsibility, the new generation of consumers look to sector leaders for results.
The opportunities in international education provision are as challenging as they are exciting. It’s a zone of new players, new alliances, new careers and high-tech approaches to learning. With new providers spanning national and international interests, and public and private arenas, the sector is headed for dynamic change.
The experience and diversity of international education also forms part of a wider movement, the search for a better world as the peoples of this planet come closer together. Promoting harmony through learning brings the promise of cultural exchange and understandings that improves economic, social and ultimately human relations. In this spirit of worldwide progress, Study Group sets the standard and continues to move forward.
