Abstract
Educational migration, a widely adopted and legal strategy for pursuing improved employment prospects and enhancing social welfare, has undergone significant changes over time. This paper examines both the historical context and contemporary implications of educational migration, with a particular focus on its impact on intellectual property and national economies. We investigate the shift from a system in which educated individuals returned to their home countries to contribute to administrative roles, to the current trend where many choose to remain abroad, resulting in the outflow of intellectual capital and economic resources. This analysis reveals systemic issues within home countries and proposes potential solutions to address the adverse effects of this phenomenon. Additionally, the paper highlights the prevalence of psychological challenges faced by graduates and expatriates, emphasizing the need for detailed exploration and targeted interventions to address these issues comprehensively.
