International Student Mobility
         to and from
        Latin America

       Director of International Programs
           Universidad de Monterrey
International Student Mobility
                  to and from Latin America

1.   Low Mobility

2.   Uneven Mobility

3.   Limiting Factors

4.   Motivating Factors

5.   The Future

6.   Sources
1.         Low Mobility
No Latin American country figures among the world’s top 20 sending or
receiving countries
Less than 1% of students enrolled at Latin American universities are of
foreign nationality

Latin America:
     - Student outflow: 0.87%
     - Student inflow: 0.17%

Mexico:
     - Less than 1% of Mexican students participate in international exchange programs
     - Only about 0.1% of students enrolled in Mexican universities are international
                  students

Low interest in intraregional mobility
2.        Uneven Mobility

Student mobility is mainly to and from North America and Europe

86% of all incoming international students are from Canada and
the USA (65%) and from Europe (21%); 8% come from Asia, 3% from
Oceania, and 3% from Africa.

The most popular countries for outgoing students are the United
States and Spain.

There is a marked difference in study abroad participation rates
among students from private and public universities; private
universities with high tuition levels have the highest mobility.
2.      Uneven Mobility

       8%


                          3%
        3%
3.        Limiting Factors



Financial constraints
Limited foreign-language proficiency of Latin American students
Lack of encouragement and support by home universities
Low self-directed motivation of students
Low country reputation (infrastructure, security, political instability, corruption)
Lack of adequate services by host universities (housing, academic advising)
Low academic reputation (international rankings, lack of accreditations)
Insufficient offer of courses in foreign languages, especially English
Lack of organized and directed international student recruitment
Health concerns (health systems, food hygiene, water quality)
Low intraregional interest
4.Motivating Factors


 Interest in Spanish language and
 regional culture

 Friendliness and warmth of the
 people

 Specific research interests (esp.
 archeology, anthropology,
 linguistics, literature, history,
 geography, art)
5.      The Future: Cautious Optimism

Growing awareness of the importance of
internationalization in general and student
mobility programs in particular

Growing concern with quality assurance in
higher education

Growing importance of Spanish as an
international language

Affordable tuition fees and low cost of living

Professionalization of the field

Lobbying by international education
associations (AMPEI, FAUBAI)

Regional integration (NAFTA , Mercosur)
