Increasing numbers of students are choosing to study abroad. To what extent does this trend benefit the students themselves and the countries involved? What are the drawabacks?
In recent years, the number of
students
who are studying aboard is increasing around the world. This
essay will argue that this
phenomenon will benefit the students
and the countries
involved as students
are exposed to more lessons and knowledge. However
, it can also
make the development
in their home countries
suffer.
Studying abroad for students
is beneficial because they can obtain a high-quality learning process from prominent professors and experts. Depending on their majors, they expect to obtain high qualifications for applying for jobs. Moreover
, while they are studying, the countries
of their universities can conduct much research that will benefit them. Their base countries
also
will have many talented human resources who are projected to participate in their development
programs. For example
, Mr Nadiem Makariem is a Harvard University graduate who created many jobs through Gojek, a popular transportation application in Indonesia.
The drawback of this
situation is that the development
of the origin countries
can flop since most of its talented citizens are going aboard for academic purposes and never return. Furthermore
, some students
are willing to stay abroad as they are offered employment after finishing their degree. They do not want to return to their base countries
because they know there are not many job opportunities matching their background education. For instance
, many high technology programs of the Indonesian government cannot be done as students
who are receiving government scholarships choose to have a career aboard.
In conclusion, although
having many students
studying abroad will have many pros for both students
and the countries
, it will negatively affect the home countries
’ development
. So, the students
should be wise about their studying plans.Submitted by gustinlawis on
