Abafundi emhlabeni wonke babebheka la mazwe amane njengendinganiso yegolide yemfundo ephakeme kwamanye amazwe. Kodwa lokho kubusa kuyashintsha—futhi kuyashesha.

Izinguquko eziningana ezibalulekile zibangela lolu shintsho:

• Ukwenqatshwa kwama-visa kukhuphuke kakhulu.

Lapho izingxoxo ziqala kabusha, imithetho emisha yokuhlolwa kwezokuxhumana yabangela ukudideka nokubambezeleka okwengeziwe.
ECanada, ukuvalwa kwe-"Student Direct Stream" ebaluleke kakhulu kwaqinisa ingcindezi njengoba zonke izicelo zazihanjiswa ngenqubo eyodwa, ehamba kancane.

Amanani okwenqatshwa nawo anyukile, kanti isicelo esisodwa kwezinhlanu senqatshiwe - kanye namanani aphezulu kakhulu kubafakizicelo abavela eNdiya, eNepal nasePakistan.

• Imithetho eqinile kanye nezinguquko zenqubomgomo kwenze isimo saqina nakakhulu.

I-UK yethule ukuqiniswa kwezinhlelo zabafundi bamazwe ngamazwe, okuhlanganisa imikhawulo kubantu abathembele kubo, ama-visa abafundi abaphothule iziqu, kanye nokwengeza intela yabafundi - konke okunciphisa isidingo. E-US, igagasi lokuhoxiswa kwama-visa kanye nokuhlolwa kwezokuxhumana kuye kwazamazamisa ukuzethemba kwabafundi. Ama-visa abafundi angaphezu kuka-6,000 asusiwe ngenxa yezizathu ezihlanganisa ukwephulwa komthetho kanye nokushoda kwezepolitiki, kanti amakhulu akhishwa ngenxa yokusolwa "ngokusekela ubuphekula" - futhi ukuhlolwa kabanzi kwemisebenzi eku-inthanethi manje sekuyinto ejwayelekile.

Ngokubambisana, lezi zinguquko ziye zabangela ukwehla okukhulu kwesithakazelo sabafundi kwiBig Four yendabuko. Izithiyo ze-visa, ukubambezeleka kokucubungula, kanye nokungaqiniseki kwemithetho kukhuthaza abafundi abaningi abazoba khona ukuthi babheke kwenye indawo.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ezinye izindawo ziyanda. Uhlu lwakamuva lwe-QS lwezindawo zabafundi abangcono kakhulu lubonisa ukuthi okokuqala ngqa, iSeoul ithatha indawo ephezulu, okuqeda uchungechunge lweminyaka eyisithupha lwaseLondon.

Lolu shintsho ludala imibuzo emikhulu: Kuzodingekani ukuze i-Big Four iphinde ikwazi ukuncintisana? Ingabe ukukwazi ukuthenga, ukuthembeka kwe-visa, kanye nemiphumela yangemva kokufunda kubaluleke kakhulu kunodumo nje? Futhi imephu yomhlaba wonke ehlukahlukene yokuhamba kwabafundi izoyiguqula kanjani imfundo ephakeme yamazwe ngamazwe?
