Overseas job prospects critical factor in Philippine higher education enrollment

Overseas job opportunity heavily influences higher education enrollment decisions of Filipino families.

An overseas job relates to a better pay scale compared to local employment. It is also closely linked to the possibility of migrating to another country, the United States in particular.

The Philippine higher education enrollment statistics for the past 5 years supports this claim.

The consistent enrollment in maritime and education courses points to Filipino families looking at overseas employment prospects as a major factor in decision-making. This is also supported by the nursing phenomenon in Philippine higher education.

Recently, the enrollment shifted in favor of hospitality-related courses.

The significant increase in enrollment of hospitality-related courses further proves Filipinos favoring higher education courses that provide overseas job opportunities.
