According to the article published by the Pie News, 2023 in global education had its ups and downs! The US rocked it by keeping its doors open, hosting a cool million international students. Germany flexed with a record 370,000 global learners, drawing them in with affordable deals and job prospects. India owned the year, outshining Chinese peers in the US and enjoying a global demand surge.
But, oh boy, not everyone had a smooth ride! The article shows that politicians got a slap on the wrist, especially in the UK, where changes affecting the dependents of international students caused chaos. Canada and Australia tightened their immigration game, trying to fix issues but leaving us questioning sustainability. Down under, the VET sector faced hurdles, making us scream for more support in 2024.
Dependents, mostly women, got the short end with Suella Braverman’s UK ban, causing a mad dash for spots. Spare a thought for Afghan women too, battling Taliban education restrictions. Terrible in the year 2024 that this is still an issue! The Netherlands, once an international ed hotspot, hit roadblocks with debates on student limits. With Geert Wilders in charge, get ready for some serious talks ahead. What’s your take on these twists, did The Pie capture a true picture of #InternationalEducation
