Centre for Educational Research and Innovation
This indicator describes students’ preferred destinations and the impact of tuition fees on their decision of where to study abroad. Tuition fees are also an issue for destination countries amid a growing realisation of the trade benefits of international education. More of them are beginning to charge the full cost of education to their international students.
