However, this is an assumption. According to Cleary’s article, there are indeed glaring disadvantages to studying abroad. Firstly, the cost of pursuing higher education overseas is very high. In Australia, the cost alone for an undergraduate degree for international students range from $15k-$30k annually as compared to its fees for local students at $7k-$10k. This is not even including the cost of living the student would incur overseas. The significantly higher fees for international students is definitely a huge factor of how studying abroad may not be the ideal choice for everyone. Furthermore, governments and institutions are starting to implement policies to ensure that local universities still appeal to their locals. This can be seen by student exchange programmes set up where students get to experience education in a different country for one or two semesters while still paying local university fees. Also, most governments subsidise their local students, like in Australia, where the government has schemes called “Higher Education Loan Programme” and “Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support”, which gives out loans to local students and offer subsidies from the government…

Education seems to be the initial step toward the success of an individual to reach his goal in his life later on. As time passed by, the trend of education becomes different. Part of which is the implementation of the international education. This system gives an opportunity to particular students to have world class learning. These people of our next generation should be well established in order to bring something significant in the near future. Countries like the United States of America have become the premier destination for foreign students. Most top universities in this country is engage of providing education among foreign students.

Japan under Meijing rein sent many students to the west for learning for the sake of modernizing the countries and learning experiences of development of western countries.
