ABSTRACT
Students are migrants who have been granted permission to stay in a foreign country for the specific purpose of completing a programme or course of study or training. Their permission to remain in the country may be conditional on continuing with this programme or course. Of particular interest are persons coming from developing countries to which they are expected to return on completion of their studies, financed through scholarships awarded by a government or NGO (often in the host country) as a means of promoting development in the country of origin by increasing its supply of skilled or professional workers.
