Phoebe Chee has been training as an opera singer since the age of 15. Last year, the soprano started a degree course at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Midway through, however, her studies were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Globally, there are more than 5.3 million students pursuing higher education abroad. They typically choose schools in the United States, United Kingdom, China, Canada and Australia.
“It's efficient and effective. I think there's also going to be more in digital communication, digital content and virtual university tours so the students don't have to fly in beforehand to view a campus but can actually view it remotely,” said Mr Nunzio Quacquarelli, CEO of QS. But education experts warn that while online learning can be effective in disseminating information, an overseas education is more than just about studies.
"There are other models emerging where employers pay when they hire the student. And there is also the unbundling of a degree. So, it may be that you pay for part of your degree at one institution, and the balance at another institution,” he added.
Oversea education is going to a dead end.
