Before choosing a right career destination it is necessary for a student and the guardians to know the truth behind the lucrative offers given by many so-called education consultants in India. There are countries where students are least interested to study. Not because these nations are not beautiful or employment opportunities are less but because of the branding of education by European, American, Canadian and Australian universities.
Asia is known to be the source of spiritual enlightenment whether its India, China, Japan or Thailand. All the Asian countries are attracting crowd for spiritual uplift but not for formal education. In the last three decades what is observed is that the Asian countries are the centres of many conflicts as well; Tibetan conflict, Korean conflict, Vietnam war, Taliban, and now ISIS. All the threats are emerging in Asian countries and this is one of the biggest reasons that Asian countries are not able to focus on their Education structure.
Even then there are countries who proven themselves to be the education-centric like China, Japan, Singapore to name a few. These countries are courageous enough to attract some good talent from all around the world. Where China is emerging as a superpower, they have made a lot of advancements in their education system too. Whereas Japan is known to be the technology leader even after the adverse effects of world war 2.
Let us try to understand the education reform in the policies of different countries. Remember, the change in policies always affects the global masses. To attract more talent towards their own nation they have incepted some incentives too within the education system. There are countries who attract with the power of employment there and some attract with the power of economy and then there are many who try to be very neutral and offer citizenship too.
For international students who want to work in Japan, they have to get their status of residence to some category which one intends to work in such as International Services, Engineering or Humanities etc. Japan is very strict in terms of work category to be offered to International students.
New rules are a bit lenient and they offer work visa to students quite easily if the student follows the right procedure. Once student finishes studies he/she is offered one year time to find a suitable job in the country. This is a leverage which is not given in many countries. But the status of visa needs to be changed from College Student to Designated Activities. It’s an affirmative step. This status might get granted for six months and can be extended but once only, i.e., for a maximum of one year.
China shows its superiority over others. To apply for a one-year work visa, international students must secure employment with a Chinese company in a field relevant to their degree, meets local skills demands and offers a salary set to market standards. They must be over 18, have a Grade B which is equivalent to 80% marks average or higher, and no criminal record. Believe me, this is something called a tough competition in China.
Azerbaijan is a country separated from USSR and now a good investment hub for many of the international brand is offering very lucrative offers to not just students but to everyone who intends to settle there. 30 days visa for students which can be extended to temporary residence permit; this allows them to work even full time. Every year they extend this permit with a nominal fee. Malaysia is also grown as a big employer in the last decade. Now they are in the race of education too. Here students who find job can work in Malaysia and apply for work permit as well. They are very open towards student work permit.
In fact many international employment agencies send workers on such programs wherein they enhance their skills and work full time and earn handsomely. Let’s not forget Singapore to be one of the most economic study destination for Indian students. There are institutes, govt. registered, offering some small certificate courses at a very nominal fee of Rs.2.5 lac. But students can’t work in Singapore during their course of studies. One must have a job offer only then student can apply for Employment Permit in Singapore. UAE including Dubai, Sharjah and Abu-Dhabi have more or less same kind of rules for international student there.
Two Asian states namely Georgia and Armenia are very welcoming to students. Simply apply for work permit to the state even if you don’t have a job yet. Same goes with the international students too. On the other hand Israel is emerging as one of the education power; especially agriculture, nuclear physics, medicines etc. Students can work in Israel but only in some selected trades; nursing care, construction, agriculture, welding and industrial professions, construction, hotel work and ethnic cookery. For an international student to work in Israel; one must secure a working visa. Without work visa working is not allowed. Work Visa: The working visa is only valid for specific trade mentioned above. Students are not permitted to any other trade.
Many aren’t aware that Cyprus is not a European country but a western Asian country. Following directives of the EU(European Union), the third world national students are allowed to work in Cyprus but only in Paid Economic Activities under certain specific conditions of work. Occupations and economic activities covered are: petrol-station attendants and car-wash attendants, care givers in homes for old people, workers in agriculture/farming, fishing and bakeries, fast-food delivery drivers etc. So, many who want to pursue their further education in Cyprus its an alarm for them.
Before deciding the country and career goal one must consult a good, renowned and qualified counselor who with the experience and knowledge can guide students towards the right career path and good choice of location too

For students opting for an MBA or specialised master’s in business, the GRE vs GMAT debate places them in the horns of a dilemma, as there are valid points on both sides of the argument.
A standardised test is a common pre-requisite for admission to overseas business programmes, but which to take?
Fortunately for Indian students, there are multiple options to consider.
WHETHER GRE OR GMAT?
For students opting for an MBA or specialised master’s in business, the GRE vs GMAT debate places them in the horns of a dilemma, as there are valid points on both sides of the argument. However, there need not be a dilemma provided the applicant consider a few pieces of information before making his or her decision.
The most important consideration is whether scores from both exams are accepted for entrée to the programmes you wish to pursue. If a school accepts both tests, then you are free to choose whichever exam you prefer.
The vast majority of schools these days accept both exams, and 73% of business school admissions officers said that GMAT and GRE test-takers were treated equally during their admissions process, according to a 2016 survey of 224 US business schools.
Advantage GRE
Three main benefits to taking the GRE test are access, flexibility, and test-taker friendly features.
IS GRE A BETTER TEST?
Regarding access, more than 1,300 business schools around the world accept GRE scores for admission to their MBA, specialized master’s and other graduate business programmes. These include top-ranked business schools, as recognised by QS World University Rankings, such as the business programmes at Stanford, Harvard, Yale, University of Chicago and University of Pennsylvania in the United States, and University of Cambridge and Oxford in the UK Saïd Business School, HEC Montréal in Canada and University of Toronto Rotman School of Management in Canada are among the top business schools that accept GRE scores.
The GRE test is always more flexible than the GMAT in that it is an exam used to gain admission to graduate programmes across almost all subjects, including business, the sciences, IT, engineering, and the humanities.
This underscores the intrinsic advantage in opting for the GRE.
The GRE will be the best choice for those applicants who want to pursue their MBA in conjunction with another master’s degree, i.e. a dual degree programme, or in pursuit of a PhD. Taking the GRE allows one to apply to both programmes with one test, which is not only a cost savings, but a huge savings in the amount of time and energy required to prepare for and take two separate exams.
Unlike the GMAT test, the GRE test has a number of features that allow test takers to use their own test-taking strategies, which can reduce the amount of stress involved in completing the test and may even lead to a better score. Within each section, a test-taker can preview and review questions, skip questions and go back, and change answers. These features can give a student a real advantage, since data from ETS shows that most GRE test takers who changed answers went from wrong to right and boosted their scores. And all test takers who skipped a question and later completed it saw the same or better scores.
Should an aspirant take the GRE test and feel not quite satisfied with her scores, there is another benefit to help take the pressure off.
Should an examinee feel the need to take the GRE General Test more than once, she can choose which scores you send to schools. Only the GRE test offers this option.

An influential representative body for the UK’s leading universities called for a new post-study visa in an attempt to address a massive fall in international student numbers from countries like India.
The UK scrapped its post-study work visa in 2012, which had allowed international students from countries like India to stay in the UK and work for up to two years after graduation.
Prof Steve Smith, Chair of Universities UK’s International Policy Network, said the “dominant reason” quoted by Indian students for choosing other overseas education destinations was the lack of an attractive post-study work option.
Smith, who is the Vice-Chancellor of University of Exeter, warned that the UK is in danger of losing its position as one of the world’s leading destinations for international students unless a “more welcoming message” was sent out.
“The issue of post-study has loomed large. We think the UK is missing out on students looking to study overseas,” Smith said.
“We think our proposal is a win-win; a win for students, universities and businesses across all regions of the UK,” he said, adding that the timing of the proposal was crucial as Britain works out its post-Brexit positioning in the world.
The new temporary “Global Graduate Talent Visa”, which will allow qualified international students to work in a skilled job in the UK for a period of two years after graduation, was mooted as UK university chiefs gathered for their annual conference in Sheffield this week.
They highlighted the US and Canada offers a post-study option of three years, Australia four years and New Zealand three years as part of recent changes to its immigration policy.
According to recent figures, the number of Indian students coming to the UK dropped from a peak of nearly 24,000 a year in 2010-11 to a low of around 9,000 a year in 2015-16. London Mayor Sadiq Khan also recently wrote to the UK Home Office calling for better post-study options to prevent this downward spiral.
“We know this has been an active policy discussion even within government. We want to be ready with positive proposals for the government to make the UK an even more attractive destination for talented students and graduates,” said Vivienne Stern, Director of Universities UK International.
Universities UK, with a membership of the country’s 136 leading universities, says its new visa proposal will involve all higher education institutions registered as Tier 4 sponsors in the country being able to sponsor their graduates to search for and gain work experience in the UK for up to two years.
This visa would not be a route to settlement in the country but provide a more flexible basis for students to seek work experience than currently permitted by the current Tier 2 visa, which involves restrictions on job level and salary and requires an employer sponsorship.
It would allow a wider range of employers – in all parts of the UK – to benefit from access to talented graduates from around the world, including small and medium employers who do not have Tier 2 sponsorship licences, usually due to the high costs and bureaucracy involved, Universities UK said.
The group said it believes its proposal is perfectly timed as the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is set to present its findings on the costs and benefits of international students to the UK government in coming weeks.
In reference to the UK government’s claims of abuse of the post-study visa route in the past, Universities UK pointed to latest Home Office exit check data showing that 98 per cent of students on such a scheme had left on time.
“The noise around large numbers overstaying is factually incorrect and the government’s own data has shown that the level of abuse [of the visa system] is miniscule, which gives us the confidence to moot this new idea,” said Prof Smith.
Under current rules, international students from countries like India must find a job with a salary of at least GBP 20,800 with an employer holding a Tier 2 sponsor licence within four months of completing their course, or find sponsorship as an entrepreneur. PhD students are separately able to stay for up to 12 months following completion of their degree.
The new ‘Global Graduate Talent Visa’ would give international graduates a longer period to search for a Tier 2 eligible role and allow UK-based employers to benefit from access to talented graduates, Universities UK said.
In 2011, under the UK’s previous Tier 1 Post Study Work visa, the numbers of students transferring into work visas was 46,875. Following the 2012 changes, that dramatically fell in 2013 to just 6,238.
Alongside the new visa proposal, Universities UK said it will work with its members to support local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to hire international graduates under the existing Tier 2 visa route.

A major study has concluded that teaching standards are lower in the US’ most prestigious universities than in its less celebrated higher education providers.
For the paper, published in Higher Education, 60 higher education experts were sent to observe 587 courses at nine US institutions, ranging from some of the most prestigious in the country to broad-access rural colleges.
Despite leading universities’ eminent faculty and sizeable budgets, the assessments found that teaching quality was actually stronger at the less prestigious institutions.
“The results contradict the common assumption that higher prestige institutions in the US have better in-class educational experiences,” said Corbin Campbell, associate professor of higher education at Columbia University and one of the co-authors of the paper.
The in-class evaluators assessed teaching in three ways: on subject matter learning, which is how lecturers are able to pass on core ideas in their subject; prior knowledge, which assesses how tutors are able to support students who come to the course with different types of knowledge; and supporting changing views, which assesses how staff work when students have a conflicting understanding of a subject.
Dr Campbell said that, in the first area, there was no difference between prestigious and less prestigious universities, which was surprising given the research expertise of their staff. For the second two, the authors found that the less prestigious institutions scored higher.
“However, we did find a higher level of cognitive complexity in higher prestige institutions than [in] the courses in the broader institutions,” she added.
These are important findings, Dr Campbell said, because studies of the public show that teaching quality is considered the most important factor in what makes the “best” university, over employment rates and research prowess.
“Interestingly, when I talk about my findings, members of the ‘public’ are surprised, but when I tell faculty who teach in prestigious institutions they are not at all surprised,” Dr Campbell added.
Teaching isn’t valued in prestige measures in the US, where the reward structures focus on research and pull away from teaching, Dr Campbell said. For this study, prestige was determined by an institution’s position in the rankings produced by US News and World Report.
“We need to do better to value teaching in the US,” Dr Campbell said. “If prestige doesn't measure good teaching, then how can we better direct the public to think about teaching in their selection process?”
Paul Ashwin, professor of higher education at Lancaster University, said the article’s findings about “the way in which prestige distorts our understanding of the quality of higher education are correct”.
“We need to find ways of providing information about the quality of degrees without them being distorted in this way,” he said.
In the UK, the introduction of the teaching excellence framework has been an attempt to place higher value on teaching. Not all the research-intensive Russell Group institutions are currently rated “gold”, and many post-92 institutions are.
However, for Professor Ashwin, “each subsequent version of the TEF has moved back to focusing on institutional prestige rather than the quality of education because of the increasing focus on employment outcomes”.

Elite universities admit they must change remuneration practices despite smaller average pay increase in 2016-17
Vice-chancellors of large research-intensive universities in the UK’s Russell Group were paid nearly £332,000 on average in the past academic year, a Times Higher Education analysis shows.
With the high pay of university leaders in the spotlight in recent months, financial accounts published by the organisation’s 24 members put the average salary and benefits of a Russell Group vice-chancellor at £331,641 in 2016-17.
Once employer pension contributions are included, the average cost of pay packages stood at £355,670.
However, the accounts show that the average remuneration paid to leaders of the UK’s top universities is virtually unchanged from 2015-16 – up by just 0.02 per cent on average, or by 0.1 per cent if pension payments are considered.
One of the biggest rises was at Newcastle University, where there was a 12.6 per cent year-on-year increase equal to £40,000 in 2016-17, when its cost of office was £356,000. The university said that the uplift follows a review of executive remuneration last year, which led to it no longer providing a house for the vice-chancellor or enhanced pension payments. Its current vice-chancellor, Chris Day, who took over from Chris Brink in December 2016, is paid a salary of £306,000 a year.
At some universities, including the London School of Economics, the cost of office fell substantially last year because they had an interim vice-chancellor for much of the academic year, at lower cost.
