The Global Higher Education Market: Dynamics and Turbulence

Abstract

The relevance of the article is explained by the dynamics of the global education market development. The purpose of the article is to identify the main trends in higher education, i.e. the rapid increase in the number of students, the population with higher education, and international students. The increase in demand for higher education is reflected not only by the increase in the number of students, but also by the increase in the level of education of the population in general. The rapid growth in the number of students in the world is accompanied by another important trend — an increase in its international segment. The process of internationalization of education is manifested in the growth of the number of foreign students in the world in absolute and relative terms. The structure and development trends of the global education market have been disclosed (the increase in the number of international students by countries and in general, the market share of countries). This trend means that along with the rapidly growing part of other countries in the global market, there are new actors, who have choosen an active strategy of educational services exports.
