The seismic shifts in education finance: China's student decline, new dominant markets and payment methods

India now outpaces China in wealth creation and GDP per capita, and the number of their students able to afford high quality education overseas is projected to grow. Overall, the demographics of students who study abroad are shifting dramatically, presenting new opportunities and challenges for students, payment providers and higher education institutions. Furthermore, 60% of international students consider alternative payment methods as important, but alternative payment methods differ from country to region around the world.
