As nearly 13 million Chinese students have completed the gaokao, the national college entrance exam, Wang Huiyao, a researcher and founder of the Beijing-based think tank Centre for China and Globalization, is urging China to attract more international students. He argues that China must remain competitive in the global arena, especially as its population is shrinking and the competition among countries to attract top talent is intensifying. Wang explains that students entering universities today not only benefit from academic exchanges but also help build the talent networks that will drive the global economy in the future. He advocates for immediate reforms, including giving universities more autonomy, offering multilingual programs, better integration with local students, and providing clear career opportunities after graduation. The goal is to make China a global hub for education, where international students stay, settle, and contribute to the local economy. In Australia, the government faces challenges in increasing the number of international students due to legal limits and visa caps. Despite these restrictions, Australian universities heavily rely on the revenue generated by international students. To address this, some institutions are exploring the option of opening decentralized campuses around the world, especially in Asia. These campuses could offer lower tuition costs and greater accessibility for students. India, with its large middle class and a growing number of young people critical of local educational institutions, is a prime target. For example, the University of New South Wales recently opened a campus in Bangalore. In July 2026, the prime ministers of Australia and India met to strengthen their educational partnership. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese supports this approach, as it allows him to promote overseas education without increasing the number of international students in Australia, thus avoiding political risks linked to immigration debates while still benefiting from soft diplomacy. Launched in April 2016, Courrier Expat is a publication aimed at French expatriates and individuals considering living abroad. It provides information from international press about the professional and personal environments of French people living overseas, following a model similar to Courrier international. The publication is organized into three main sections: business, education, and health. Courrier Expat also aims to explore new frontiers by combining information, services, and a community dimension. Readers can become members of the Courrier Expat Club to access exclusive content, expert advice, job listings, and participate in forums. They can also engage with blogs written by expatriate correspondents, offering insights into life abroad. These developments reflect a broader trend in global education, where countries are increasingly looking to attract international students to boost their economies and maintain their global standing. As demographic and economic factors shift, the role of international education as a tool for both soft power and economic growth becomes more significant. Whether through expanding campuses abroad, reforming domestic education systems, or providing targeted information for expatriates, nations are adapting to the changing landscape of global talent and mobility.
