More than 12,000 South Africans are already studying overseas.
More and more South Africans are considering studying abroad, but more so as a ticket to leave the country.
At least 1.2 million South Africans are considering studying overseas, the report, which resulted from a BrandMapp survey, said. "But what's staggering is that that percentage rockets up to 48% of those aged under 25 years. There's no doubt that for these youngsters, studying overseas looks like the key to a global door behind which lies a future earning Dollars or Euros or Yen, rather than rands in return for their soon-to-be highly skilled labour," said De Kock.
Although 1.24 million South Africans considering overseas studies is a significant number, it is no surprise, Heidi Sulcas, the editor of University Speaking, the South African Guide to Overseas Study, said.
