Abstract

India and China send out the largest number of students for education abroad. To amplify the point, between the years 2000 and 2014, the number of students going out from China increased about twelve times, while it increased about four times from India. This outflow has become a major source of brain and capital drain for both countries. Although, both Push and Pull factors contribute to this massive exodus, each country has adopted separate strategies to address this issue. China opened up its education sector and as a result is gradually emerging as a major hub for education; India on the other hand adopted a rather inward looking approach for a long time and is still grappling with some basic issues in its education sector. Consequently, it is yet to make its education sector competitive and attract foreign students in large numbers despite having some inherent advantages.
