Internacional

We understand that INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION is the motion of students who go to another part of the world to study, research, or teach. The essential goals of international education are furthering knowledge and cultural capital, fathoming what befall in other places and cultures, as well as acquiring intercultural skills in the process.

International Education has always existed. People have sought education elsewhere in order to improve their lives, aiming to contribute to societies and communities, as well as better equip themselves as citizens of their respective countries. It’s not just Brazil, UK  and Canada that have been engaged in this activity. Many nations have participated in this kind of work including Asian ones.

WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION?

You may wonder about the gains that come from international education on a great range of aspects. The first one is as far as broadening view is concerned. The second one comprises knowledge acquisition, maturity gain, as well as self-reliance. International education may be a form of cultural diplomacy. Regarding the corporate environments, employers also have a stake in international education. Some of them incentivize their employees to go and acquire credentials elsewhere because, in this global economy, companies need a workforce with the capacity, skills, and talents to compete globally.

HOW CAN STUDENTS BE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND A PROGRAMME ABROAD OR OVERSEAS?

It’s important, particularly for professionals and students, to study abroad. European students understand the value of studying abroad because there is a lot more mobility in the European Union. African learners are the most mobile of any group of students in the world. Students in Asia and other places all understand the value of studying outside of their home countries. However, the one immerses himself in the social, cultural, and all the different aspects of a new place is also crucial. Sometimes what we heed is that students move around and study abroad, but they live in bubbles where they try to replicate only what they are wont to. That is inexorably a big blunder. International Education requires immersive and massive cognition in order to trigger changes and evolvement.
