Intra- regional mobility in East Asia
This report looks into mobility trends of East Asian students and ambitions within the region to boost higher education capacity, with implications for future mobility to the UK. Using student mobility data from UNESCO’s Institute of Statistics (UIS), this report highlights increased intra-regional mobility of tertiary students within East Asia since 2015/16, which has likely contributed to the slowdown in outbound mobility from most parts of East Asia to the UK. With countries in the region seeking to become regional and international education hubs, internationalisation of higher education ranking high on the agenda, and generous offers of scholarship to attract international students to meet ambitious student targets, intra-regional student mobility within East Asia is expected to grow further.
