2.2 DUBAI- THE HOTSPOT FOR EDUCATION

For years, students have been aspiring to go to US and Europe for higher education. But various factors combined, resulting in a dip in this demand. The economic crisis better known as the recession, racism, terrorist attacks and a few other reasons played an important part.

UAE is leading a rush of countries trying to curb the dominance of famous American and British universities namely Harvard, Yale, LSE. As of 2005 there were about 138 million students’ worldwide seeking university degrees, up by 40 percent in seven years, with English speaking countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia finding it harder to meet the demand.

According to the Washington based Association of International Educators, the market of post-secondary students studying outside their home countries grew 49 percent between 1999 and 2004. The Australian testing company IDP Education projects the number of students seeking education abroad to triple by 2025 to 7.2 million. Dubai will hope to attract a number of these students to its universities.
