International Education

International education is a dynamic concept that involves a journey or movement of people, minds, or ideas across political and cultural frontiers. International education plays a huge role in the advancement of educational concepts among places and people. When students travel to another country to study they often have visitors. This brings in the tourism dollar, benefitting the country's economy. International education gives places like Brazil, Sweden, Norway, and France a chance to educate foreign students in their culture. It has globalized to allow students the opportunity to travel and study abroad, bettering their education. In many countries, Americans can study for free, or almost free. The Institute of International Education says that in the United States alone the number of international students increased by eight percent, to a record high of 886,052 students in the 2013/14 academic year. This shows that the United States continues to be a destination of choice for higher education. The globalization of International Education has been a huge success for thousands of students and their families.
