Recently, the notion whether many students in developing countries should move to developed countries to get higher education has ignited a heated debate among people. The causes of this phenomenon are that many learners want to pursue a better quality in education and they are intrigued to obtain more experiences to live in other nations. It can bring up many consequences: learners may develop their critical thinking abilities; however, the developing countries may be able to lose their high-qualified pupils in the future.
Initially, it is apparent that the curriculum of universities abroad is better than that in developing countries. Many students want to move to developed nations because the education system in overseas may encourage them to improve the critical thinking skill. It is obvious that the education system in developed countries triggers their students to do a self-learning activities. For example, an international student have to read a lot of books and look for many case studies related to his or her subject before attending class. Consequently their critical thinking skills will be improved naturally. Thus moving to another country to pursue higher formal education can boost students to be critical thinkers.
Moreover, it is apparent that many youngsters are highly intrigued to obtain new lives in other nations. They will be jubilant to attain new experiences in their lives, particularly in an academic environment. For instance, international students from developing country, Indonesia, will be pleased when meeting many people from different countries studying with them in the same university. So, they are able to live for a long time in other countries or maybe will not come back to their country since they have found a pleasant place to live. It will bring to negative impact for developing nations for losing their well-talented pupils. Therefore, moving to abroad may encourage scholars to get more life experiences.
In conclusion, the movement of some students from developing countries to developed countries may be due to their goals to attain better education and new experiences; however, it may emerge both positive and negative impact for their home countries.
