Graduate students flock to US
Article Abstract:
An international educational community is developing, with a large increase in students studying abroad, and especially strong growth from graduate students from Far East and South East Asian countries. The number of students moving to the United States has also increased sharply. There are benefits associated with this interchange, but more political will and finance could help promote this trend. Since the flow tends to be from less developed to more developed countries, there are, however, questions on the dominance of developed countries ways of thinking, and spending on higher education may not be the most appropriate use of scarce resouces in underdeveloped countries.
