After the severe austerity measures brought into action by Temer's Government, funding for Higher Education seems to be drying up. While the austerity measures will apply only starting 2018 for education, recently limits have been put in place on the Fies (the loan offered by the government to support higher education of students). Though there is uproar against the austerity measures taken, the government is determined to pull Brazil out of the recession through these stringent measures.

Along with being the highest exporter of Higher education students, is China eyeing to become world's highest importer too? Reports suggest that China is the third largest study destination for international students. China attracts students from countries like South Korea, Indonesia, India and Pakistan. Through its 'One belt, One Road' strategy, China is aiming to build strong economic relations with South East-Asian countries. Some of the recent measures taken by the Government, such as allowing students with a foreign PG degree to apply for jobs in China, hint at the intentions.
