| The latest data from the Institute of International Education (IIE) show that the drop in foreign student enrollment in the US has ended (at least for the short term). The IIE surveyed 900 American colleges and universities and found that the number of enrolled foreign students grew 8% this year, reaching a total of 142,923. The number of student visas is also up by 14% from the previous year. Finally, a separate study shows that the number of Americans studying abroad is also growing at an annual rate of eight percent. These numbers indicate that the post-9/11 drop in foreign student enrollment may be over. A new study for the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation suggests that the positive trend may be more luck than effort. While the US lacks a coherent plan, its counterparts are making it easier for talented immigrants to enter their countries. Global Flows of Talent, highlighted in a recent session covered by NDE-news, benchmarks flows of highly-skilled and highly educated people to the United States against similar flows to seven other high-income countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the U.K. To access the Institute of International Education’s Open Doors Report 2006, visit |
