With low costs, immersion in the Start-Up Nation and antisemitism spiking, it’s no wonder students are choosing the Jewish state.
JNS reports that according to the Israeli Council for Higher Education—approximately 12,000 foreign students each year choose to make Israel their home away from home. What’s more, in contrast to declining international student enrollment in other countries, the COVID-19 pandemic actually amplified interest in Israel as a study abroad destination.
For 20 years before the pandemic, only 5% of students coming to Israel for their gap year chose to stay in the country for further study. Now, that number has increased to 20%.
