While domestic student numbers are declining in developed countries,
international student enrolments have grown and will continue to grow. But the source
and destination countries will change based on capacity, political and economic factors.

students as home country governments are waking up to the outflow of financial and
human capitals. Instead, universities should genuinely invest in enhancing
internationalization of education and explore new models of partnerships for mutual
benefits.
