Impact of emerging global educational trends on overseas education programs for aspiring students in South East Asia and South Asia: A decadal analysis

Abstract

The present paper investigates the influence that current trends in international education have on students from Southeast Asia and South Asia interested in participating in educational programs in other countries throughout the next ten years. The research examines historical data on Thai students studying overseas, compares education systems, and investigates scholarship chances. It uses a qualitative methodology, including literature reviews, case studies, and interviews with important players. The study proposes methods for boosting outward and inbound foreign education in Thailand, presents a strategy for execution over ten years, and estimates prospective consequences. The findings reveal that while international education brings substantial benefits for students from these locations, it also poses problems relating to the acquisition of visas, the transition to a new culture, and the restrictions on financial resources. In its conclusion, the research offers suggestions for students, educational institutions, and politicians on how to make the most of the advantages of international education while also tackling the issues it presents.
