Guest Column: Understanding cross-border education and its challenges
Cross-border education has gained substantial traction in India, driven by the interplay of globalisation and the perceived limitations of the domestic education system. Indian students seek international education to gain a competitive edge in the evolving global job market. Intense competition While globalisation is a significant factor, challenges within the Indian education system also drive the trend of cross-border education. According to a 2020 survey by the Canadian Bureau for International Education, 70% of international students in Canada engage in part-time work to support their living expenses. While globalisation offers better career prospects and cultural exposure, the inconsistencies and limitations within the Indian education system push students to seek superior opportunities abroad.
