Topic Reading-Vol.1320-11/22/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
India, China provide nearly half the international students in US: Report
The two most populous countries are aggressive towards quality higher education in the U.S. Of the nearly one million international students who took higher education in the U.S. in 2014-2015 academic year, 31% of them came from China and 14% were from India. The growth by these two countries alone accounted for the two-thirds of the total growth. Especially the number of students came from India jumped nearly 30% over the previous year, while the total number of international students grew by approximately 10%, according to the Institute of International Education.
Interestingly, nearly two-thirds of the students from India are at the graduate level. One of the reasons could be the fact that most of the prominent colleges and universities in India run their courses in English, while many students from other non-English speaking countries like China or South Korea are trying to improve their English proficiency.
Enjoy reading and thinking of the sheer number of the international students studying in the U.S. and the influence over their careers and lives.
