In 2023, the number of males in short-cycle tertiary education programs with study periods or work placements under international/national credit mobility stood significantly lower than the forecasted 1.17 thousand for 2024, indicating a growth trend in the sector. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent year-on-year increase averaging approximately 5.3%, reflecting a strong upward trajectory in male participation in such programs. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicates continued expansion at an appreciable pace over this period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in international education policies post-2024, technological advancements enhancing virtual components of study placements, and evolving global labor market demands which could further affect short-cycle tertiary education enrollments.
