ABSTRACT

This chapter deals with the question of migration and its relationships with education. To have access to any university will mean temporary migration for at least some section of the population. Temporary migration may be seen as a rational method of obtaining or providing education for some sections of a population, and it is a method which is likely to be more relevant, the higher or more specialised is the type of education. The use of migration in providing education is more frequent within countries, than between countries. The more publicised aspect of migration, and the one which has received more treatment, is that of movement, usually considered to be of a permanent kind, by educated personnel. Migration, whether within or between countries, is not in itself a new phenomenon; much of this recent interest stems rather from the changes which have occurred in the characteristics of this migration.
