South Asia: student mobility trends and 2025 expectations

In 2025, South Asian student mobility is expected to increase significantly due to a number of variables coming together. The population of the area is young and growing, and the middle class is growing and has more disposable income. A strong desire for high-quality education and the pursuit of international employment prospects are fueled by this demographic dynamic.

A sizable portion of South Asian students are still drawn to more conventional locations like the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. But a significant obstacle is the growing expense of education in these nations. Furthermore, prospective students may encounter challenges due to changing visa laws and geopolitical unpredictabilities.

Online learning has become more popular as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps providing more access to global educational options. It is yet unknown how this tendency may affect conventional student mobility patterns in the long run.
