International Journal of Human Resources Management (IJHRM) ISSN (P): 2319–4936; ISSN (E): 2319–4944 Vol. 9, Issue 5, Jul–Dec 2020; 31–38 © IASET MIGRATION OF STUDENTS- A STUDY ON CHALLENGES FACING BY STUDENTS WHILE TAKING DECISION TO STUDY ABROAD Komalpreet Singh & Aeshwarya Dixit Assistant Professor, GNA University, Phagwara, Punjab, India ABSTRACT Student migration is the movement of students to study abroad. The internationalization of higher education increased dramatically during the period of globalization and it has become market driven activity. India is the world’s second largest student sending country after China with the number of Indian students abroad having increased four times in the last 14 years. With the rapid rise of international education more and more students are seeking higher education in foreign countries and many international students now consider overseas study a stepping-stone to permanent residency within a country. Going abroad has now become trend for the youngsters mainly in India. Everyone who has gone out of India to study abroad describe the entire experience as life-changing. Studying abroad, outside India, not just gives you access to quality education but also changes the way you look at things, handle difficult situations and tackle problems. This article addresses obstacles confronting by students within the home countries. The challenges are categorized into pre-departure. The findings will reveal pre-departure challenges, such as obtaining accurate information, understanding the admission procedure, and preparing documents for visa acquisition. Students face language barriers, financial issues, and cultural adjustment when they are in the host countries. The article also explores the current trend of migration of Indian students to other counties.

``I Have to Further My Studies Abroad'': Student Migration in Ghana
Social Inclusion (ISSN: 2183–2803) 2021, Volume 9, Issue 1, Pages 299–307 DOI: 10.17645/si.v9i1.3690 Article “I Have to Further My Studies Abroad”: Student Migration in Ghana Justice Richard Kwabena Owusu Kyei Department of Sociology and Social Work, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 28 September 2020 | Accepted: 19 November 2020 | Published: 25 March 2021 Abstract The literature on migration intentions of university students and their decisions to travel abroad as student migrants is limited. This article outlines how the thought of student migration is created and nurtured. It investigates how facilitators and/or constraints influence the decision to migrate as students. Using a multi-sited approach, fieldwork in Ghana focused on prospective student migrants, while fieldwork in the Netherlands provided a retrospective perspective among student migrants. Life story interviews were adopted in the collection of data. In the minds of the respondents, there is a clear dis- tinction between the idea of ‘migration’ and the idea of ‘student migration.’ The article concludes that childhood socializa- tion shapes the idea of ‘migration’ that culminates in the thought of ‘student migration.’ Apart from studies, experiencing new cultures and networking are among the notable expectations that inform the thought of student migration. Religiosity categorised as prayers and belonging to religious community is a cultural principle employed to facilitate the fulfilment of student migration intentions. With a shift from the classical economic models of understanding the decision to migrate, this article elucidates the fears, anxiety, joys and perplexities that are embedded in the thought of student migration.

The focus is on the experiences of Indian students across three space-time locations: before the students left India; while abroad in Toronto; and their return to New Delhi. The value of this research is two-fold. Firstly, my research helps to fill the lacuna in ISM research that examines the phenomenon through a gender optic. Secondly, there is increasing interest in Canada and other countries – evident in the media and government policy – in international students from India. The study is located at the nexus of gender and mobility scholarship; it adopts Gendered Geographies of Power as a foundational framework. The research employed a multi-sited, mixed-methods approach to data collection.

This is part of Out-Law's series of news and insights from Pinsent Masons experts on the impact of the UK's EU referendum. Watch our video on the issues facing businesses and sign up to receive our 'What next?' checklist. Concerns are growing over the extent to which UK higher education institutions will be able to access EU research funding post-Brexit. The extent of access that the UK will enjoy to funding for research from the EU's Horizon 2020 programme will depend on the terms of the country's exit from the EU which have still to be negotiated. Horizon 2020 is the EU's biggest ever research and innovation funding scheme. UK institutions should urgently investigate ways to safeguard or replace current sources of EU research funding, including exploring setting up EU-based subsidiaries. Horizon 2020 funding post-Brexit UK universities are likely to remain entitled to apply for funding under the Horizon 2020 programme after Brexit, although much will depend on UK-EU negotiations on the terms of the UK's exit from the trading bloc.
