Many foreigners escape to the West through Hungarian universities
Change language:
About 10-20 percent of foreign students studying at Hungarian universities vanish and move to a Western European country. There was also a class where 30-40 percent of students disappeared without any information.
Foreign students in Hungarian universities
“There are a lot of talented young people from African and Asian countries. Many of them learn some level of Hungarian as well as English. The vast majority of them go home after graduation,” an education expert who asked not to be named told index.hu. He added that “university faculties can earn up to several hundred thousand euros from the tuition fees of foreign students”.
While there are many advantages to having foreign students, integrating international students is not always an easy task. There are many cases where students disappear after enrolment. Foreign students can travel easily with a visa and most of them leave for Western Europe.
“It is a smarter, less costly and more convenient form of migration. Children from wealthier African and Asian families can enter the European Union by air and with student visas. Here, they don’t have to trust their lives to people smugglers, climb fences or wade through the Mediterranean on tinder-boxes,” said the expert.
