Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Singapore aims to attract international students

Malaysia is one of the best countries for higher education, student in western countries look for alternative ways to study aboard especially after the tight visa rules after September 11,2001. today there are 20 public universities and 36 private universities nationwide. Along with Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore also strive to attract students to study within their counties. Malaysia alone wants to attract 100,000 foreign students by the next school year, this year they had an enrollment of 71,000 foreign students. These countries strive to offer the same opportunites,in education, as the western counties but at a much lesser cost. Statistics show that in July 2007 2.8 million students were stduying in higher education outside of their home country. With the yearly increase in tuition prices within the USA, and along with other western countries alone I think Malaysia will soon reach their goal of 100,000 international students.
