Huge outflow of students sets off, healthier study destination seems determining factor
There is a post-pandemic brain drain, and the rise in the number of students flying abroad is not only due to the pending visa approvals or travel restrictions during COVID-19, but students owe a lot more than before.
The recent findings reveal that Indian students' mindsets have changed, and they are seeking a better quality of education, strong pedagogy, growth in economic mobility of households, healthier study destinations, etc.
Let’s look at some of the current trends of the ongoing brain drain: Cheaper study destinations:
There are newer locations that students prefer, including Germany and Russia, as they are cheaper and provide the best quality education.
Healthcare is the priority:
Students from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are demanding better healthcare management and healthier destinations. They analyze how countries dealt with the pandemic and then make a decision.
Freedom :
Indian students study abroad for mental peace and also for the freedom to live the way they want to without the rigid societal restrictions that Indian societies mandate us.
Returning home:
There are also Indian students studying and working who want to come back to India. Students do return to translate some of their cross-cultural learning to Indian start-ups.
