After the severe austerity measures brought into action by Temer's Government, funding for Higher Education seems to be drying up. While theausterity measures will apply only starting 2018 for education, recently limits have been put in place on the Fies (the loan offered by thegovernment to support higher education of students). Though there is uproar against the austerity measures taken, the government isdetermined to pull Brazil out of the recession through these stringent measures.

China
Along with being the highest exporter of Higher education students, is China eyeing to become world's highest importer too? Reports suggestthat China is the third largest study destination for international students. China attracts students from countries like South Korea, Indonesia,India and Pakistan. Through its 'One belt, One Road' strategy, China is aiming to build strong economic relations with South East‐Asiancountries. Some of the recent measures taken by the Government, such as allowing students with a foreign PG degree to apply for jobs inChina, hint at the intentions.
