A paper exploring the long-term impact of international student mobility on poverty reduction in low- and middle-income countries has been published.
The paper, which uses data spanning two decades, was written from research undertaken by academics at the University of Oxford’s Department of Education.
Associate Professor of Comparative and International Education, Maia Chankseliani, and Postdoctoral Researcher, Joonghyun Kwak, conducted the research which shows a notable poverty alleviation in low- and middle-income countries thanks to international student mobility.
Maia said: “Our research shows that while the short-term effects of international student mobility on poverty reduction are not significant, its long-term impact—over a 15-year period—has a notable positive association with poverty alleviation in low- and middle-income countries. Returnees use the skills and knowledge they gain abroad to drive local innovations and contribute to societal changes, which can lead to systemic poverty reduction over time.
“International student mobility has tripled from two million students in 1997 to over six million by 2021. This surge reflects the growing recognition of the value of studying abroad for both individual advancement and societal development, with governments, universities, charities, and private firms offering scholarships for international study.
“However, in recent years, rising insularity and nationalist sentiments in some countries have posed challenges to mobility, with increasing barriers to cross-border education and collaboration. This makes studies like ours more critical than ever, as they demonstrate the long-term benefits of international education, not just for individuals, but for global development. Understanding these impacts can help inform policies that keep educational exchanges open and accessible, even in an increasingly inward-looking world.”
The research looks at how skills, knowledge, and connections gained abroad often lead to change after returnees have had time to apply them in their own contexts. They can introduce new practices and innovations in areas like governance, education, and economic development.
Maia continued: “Our findings underscore the crucial role international student mobility plays in long-term poverty reduction. We hope this paper will encourage policymakers to recognise the important role international education plays in development. This could lead to greater support for scholarships and initiatives that allow students from low- and middle-income countries to study abroad.”
This research was funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State.
Joonghyun said: “In low- and middle-income countries, domestic education systems may not always match the quality found in higher-income nations, particularly in producing and spreading knowledge and skills. In this context, those who study abroad bring back new knowledge, skills, and international connections, helping to fill crucial gaps and drive efforts to reduce poverty in their home countries.
“To broaden access for people in low- and middle-income countries, expanding scholarship opportunities is essential. Since self-funded study abroad is largely restricted to students from affluent backgrounds, increasing targeted scholarships can help provide more opportunities for those from low-income countries.”
The research, which has been taking place for the last 18 months, looked to identify trends in the relationship between outbound student mobility and poverty reduction through a cross-national analysis. To achieve this, it included all low- and middle-income countries with available data.
Joonghyun concluded: “I hope the findings of this study provide valuable policy insights for international higher education and sustainable development in low- and middle-income countries. Expanding study abroad opportunities is vital not only for individual success but also for tackling broader societal challenges like poverty. By increasing access to international education and enhancing local educational systems, we can make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of these countries.”

Professor Rachel Brooks is Professor of Higher Education in the Department of Education at Oxford and current President of the British Sociological Association.
She is also chair of the executive editors of the British Journal of Sociology of Education, a member of the editorial team of the journal Sociology, and co-editor of the ‘Research into Higher Education’ book series, published by Routledge and the Society for Research into Higher Education. She is a member of governing council of the Economic and Social Research Council, and was a member of the education sub-panel for the UK’s national research assessment exercise (REF2021).
Rachel’s research focuses primarily on the sociology of higher education. Particular areas of expertise include international student mobility (and processes of internationalisation and Europeanisation in higher education more generally); student politics and protest; and ensuring equity in access to and outcomes within higher education.
Rachel has recently moved to Oxford from the University of Surrey where she held a variety of management roles (including head of department and associate dean for research) and was principal investigator of the university’s ESRC-funded Impact Acceleration Account.
Current Projects
- Post-Brexit Educational Mobilities: Rachel is writing a book with Johanna Waters on how international student mobilities have been affected by the UK’s departure from the European Union. This builds on previous work on student mobilities funded by, amongst others, the ESRC and British Academy.
- Young People Shaping Livelihoods Across Three Generations: Rachel is an international partner on this Australian Research Council-funded longitudinal study (led by the University of Melbourne) of the lives of three cohorts of Australians.
Recently completed projects:
- Constructing the Higher Education Student (EUROSTUDENTS): This six-year project, funded by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant, examined the ways in which higher education students are understood across Europe, exploring differences by both nation state and social actor.
- Widening Participation to Sandwich Courses: This project, funded by the Centre for Transforming Access to and Student Outcomes in Higher Education (TASO) explored the barriers faced by students from non-traditional backgrounds in accessing, and succeeding on, work-focussed ‘sandwich courses’ in English higher education.
- The Supra-National Higher Education Space: This project was part of the ESRC-funded Centre for Global Higher Education (led by the University of Oxford). Rachel’s contribution focused largely on the European higher education space, examining the growth of the European Universities Initiative, and the response of European higher education actors to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
- Caring practices:Rachel has conducted research on higher education students with caring responsibilities (funded by the Nuffield Foundation), and also on fathers who are the primary carers of young children. Both areas of work have led to recently-published books.

Dr Gardiana Bandeira-Melo is a Post-Doctoral Researcher, on the project ‘International Student Mobility and World Development’, leading research on countries at the South of the Sahara.
She underwent training in Critical Development Studies and Political Economy of the Global South at Cardiff Metropolitan University (PhD) and the Sorbonne University (BSc and MSc).
Her career straddles, the worlds of academia and government, over three continents (Africa, Europe/Asia and the Americas) in the areas of development, politics and ethics.
Dr Bandeira-Melo’s research delves into the nexus of indigenous African knowledge, decoloniality and climate justice. It employs mixed research designs and interdisciplinary frameworks, namely Critical Race Theory and Theories of Change, where these relate to responses to colonial legacies and socioeconomic and environmental transformations.
She seeks to understand, through the lived experiences and perspectives of people from Africa and the Diaspora, how traditional African science and culture are employed to overcome mechanisms of oppression, inequalities and climate disruption. Her work aims to offer counter-narratives to representations of African backwardness and helplessness, amplifying the voices of African and Afro-descendants and highlighting their contributions to the global community.
On UNESCO’s International Day of Education (24 January), the Department of Education will launch a new seminar series exploring Ukrainian Higher Education in Times of War, tying in with UNESCO’s theme of “learning for lasting peace”.
As part of the Global Public Seminars in Comparative and International Education, the series of talks will explore how Ukrainian universities continue to fulfil their missions in the current circumstances of Russia’s ongoing military invasion of Ukraine. Speakers representing various Ukrainian universities will share their research results and personal experiences in solving the problems that Ukrainian universities are facing.
Dr Maia Chankseliani, Associate Professor and convenor of the seminar series said: “The aim of the Global Public Seminars in Comparative and International Education is to foster a nuanced understanding of the dynamic landscape of education globally. By exploring the challenges faced by Ukrainian Higher Education during times of conflict, we aim to shed light on broader implications for educational institutions worldwide”
Dr Yuliya Zayachuk, Visiting Researcher at the University of Oxford’s Department of Education, will kick off the seminars on 24 January. Dr Zayachuk said: “My talk covers the main responses of Ukrainian universities to the complex challenges caused by Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, with a special emphasis on internationalization as an integral part of Ukrainian university activities in time of war.”
The seminars will be held on Wednesdays at 3pm on Zoom from 24 January – 14 February.
Q: The International Day of Education celebrates the role of education for peace and development. How can education play a role in lasting peace?
Dr Zayachuk said: “The higher the level of economic, social, and political development of a society, the greater chances that it will not need barbaric actions towards its neighbours. It is education that provides knowledge, practical skills, values, and attitudes necessary for such development of a society and thus plays an important role in maintaining and ensuring lasting peace.”
Dr Chankseliani said: “Educational institutions play a crucial role in promoting lasting peace by nurturing a culture of understanding, tolerance, and cooperation. In our seminars, we investigate how education, with its transformative potential, can bridge divides, empower individuals, and contribute to the development of societies. It is through a global perspective that we aim to explore the diverse ways in which education can act as a catalyst for enduring peace.”
