A decade ago students belonging
from different institutions and different phases of life used to get higher
education from the universities present in their cities. The ones having an
extreme urge to proving themselves amongst their peers and family opted for
universities outside of their home towns but stayed within the country. The
need and the desire to go and study abroad were not commonly found among
individuals and the number going abroad to study was very less. It was probably
because of the lack of exposure in the world or the lack of knowledge of
different universities abroad and countries abroad that kept them here. The
absence of telephones, emails or any other sources of communicating also
discouraged parents from willing to send their children abroad to get the
education and encouraged them to study near them. The education system of the
institutions, especially universities in the home country was outstanding and
like mentioned before, the need to go to an institute outside the residing
country seemed out of question but as the exposure of all sorts increased so
did the decade-old trend.
The New Trend
The new level of exposure
promoted the idea of getting an education from far-flung areas, usually from
different countries. With the passage of time and the increase in competition
in the education sector, the educational institutes began getting rated
according to the kind of education they provided along with the facilities and
the percentage of their students achieving job right after their graduation.
This was the time when the business of education consultancy was set up and the
trend of education consultancy increased and then began growing rapidly.
Education Consultancies
Education Consultancy includes
consultants that are usually self-employed providing solution in a specific
field or area. They tend to work as both; immigration counsellors and academic
counsellors providing complete guidance without any prior knowledge, degree or
experience to several individuals. As a result, there are a lot of education
consultancies now present that do not provide quality service and are only
interested in earning huge amounts of money. These consultancies fool people by
putting up banners and billboards promising scholarships and admissions abroad
without telling the basic requirements and narrating the real story which
includes the expenditure of huge sums of money as well. Although this has
become a business which needs to be stopped the continuous attraction of people
towards this business has made it very difficult to stop them from committing
the crime that they are so confidently committing.
