The world’s two most populous nations, China and India, lead the way when it comes to students heading overseas.
Nowhere can compete with China when it comes to the sheer volume of students going to other countries. According to UNESCO, there are just under 700,000 Chinese students studying abroad, a huge distance ahead of second placed India’s 189,500. Several small countries actually have more students studying abroad than at home. These include Andorra, Anguilla, Bermuda, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Montserrat, the Seychelles and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
