ONE BELT, ONE ROAD: ENHANCING MALAYSIAN STUDENTS’ MOBILITY

Yu Sing Ong

Abstract


This paper aims to develop a framework on the determinants of international student mobility from Malaysia. China’s One Belt, One Road initiative is an important milestone for Malaysia as the two countries seek closer economic and political ties. The education sector also benefitted from this closer relationship. The significance of this paper is that it formulates a logistic regression model which encompasses various parameters in students’ choice of country to study abroad. With an understanding of the various determinants of student mobility, the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia will be able to fine-tune its macro policies to attract more international students to study in Malaysia.
