Abstract

Educational migration is a form of social mobility closely tied to the pursuit of knowledge, skills, and international experience. This study examines the influence of various factors on student mobility and migration, focusing on decisions to study abroad and to select a host country. A critical review of the literature was combined with an expert survey of 37 specialists, whose evaluations helped rank and weigh the significance of push and pull factors. The results show that while economic criteria such as tuition and housing costs remain important, they are secondary to the perceived quality of education, internationally recognized qualifications, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. The study concludes that models emphasizing only economic aspects are insufficient, as educational migration is increasingly shaped by the long-term development of human capital and intercultural exchange, benefiting both sending and host countries.
