Have you too been seeing someone leaving for overseas education, every time that you refresh your Instagram or Facebook feed? Why are so many people leaving the country for educational purposes? Is this education even worth for in the future? This blog will practically discuss all such queries which can pop up in your head or can give you second thoughts about it!
Beginning with talking about why so many people are opting for other countries or an international degree. We all know how abysmal the Indian education system can get; you can expect outdated information being instructed to the students and students competing unhealthily for mere grades in the class while not concentrating on their personal development. This is all because the teachers, instructors, and parents especially focus on such parameters more and believe that academic performance is the only way to make a successful career. However, this is not the case with higher education outside India. The education there maintains a balance between academics and the personal development of students which enhances their employability for their future careers.
Employability? What does that mean? Why is it so important? Employability, to be put into simple words, is the ability of a person to get employed. But again, there are not many employment opportunities in India and students often end up working in not-so-fruitful jobs after completing all their necessary education. Therefore, students opt for higher qualifications.
Now the Indian universities, which are reputed enough to provide quality education and guarantee that the student will benefit in true senses and that their investments for education aren’t a total waste, are very less and on top of that they conduct their entrance exams, which again burden the students. Hence, students search for their way out of this mess and choose overseas education rather studying in their home country.
The universities outside India, especially in countries like the UK, Canada, USA, Australia, and New Zealand are much more credible and the degrees from these nations hold recognition amongst employers. The learning in these nations is not rigid at all and definitely does not focus on just grades. Credible sources such as The Economic Times have published in their report that employers have been believing that the students with an international degree have much more enhanced technical skills and can think critically in situations and bring creative solutions to problems. This is one of the many instances of why employers, even here in India, prefer such graduates and have termed them as “Job-ready”.
Even though India has been emerging as a potential market for so many businesses, these employers need solid candidates for their workforce who can lead teams and contribute to building up their company. As this is the first time that we have been talking about crucial concepts such as employability in the context of the Indian market, we also would like to highlight that the courses outside India, are much more updated, subject-centric, and make the students learn about concepts in innovative ways.
Apart from that, exploring a totally different country and engaging with people from different cultures, and exploring them, has its perks as you get to develop a range of skills like communicating fluently, and getting to know the places around you. Undoubtedly, an overseas education sounds much more fun and exciting. However, a student must put in equal effort during his academic tenure to achieve an optimum level of employability.
So, now if a second thought has already popped up in your mind about getting an international degree from a well-developed country and if you do not know where to start then come and visit us at FOCUS EDUCATION PVT.
