Student Mobility in International Education: The Case in Ghana
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
International education has become an important export commodity and many nations are making every effort to attract students. Among developed countries such as the United Kingdom, United States, Germany and France, universities generate high foreign exchange from student mobility in international education. Beneficiary students of international education acquire increasing knowledge in diverse academic and professional disciplines to supplement the developmental agenda of their countries. In spite of the tremendous socio-economic benefits, it has been observed that many Southern States have failed to capitalize on this for their benefit. As a result of this, attracting international students into many Southern States faces a challenge. Among the challenging factors identified includes poor infrastructural facilities, weak marketing and recruitment efforts by institutions as well as harsh immigration procedures by host countries. This study seeks to review the issue of student mobility in international education in Ghana, a Southern State, and identify the factors militating against student mobility in international education and suggest ways of addressing the issue.
