The latest data for 2024 shows that Australia leads with 50.07% of students enrolled in ICT in tertiary education, despite a slight dip from last year's -3.86%. Canada and the United Kingdom follow with significant increases of 7.15% and 13.22%, respectively. Slovakia experienced a sharp rise of 29.66%, while Chile showed the highest annual growth at 31.21%. Other notable increases include Latvia (13.47%), Portugal (12.57%), and South Korea (11.06%). In contrast, Denmark and Ireland saw declines of -4.19% and -5.35%, respectively.
Future trends to watch for include potential sustained growth in countries like Slovakia and Chile, which have shown exceptional recent increases. Moreover, the continued appeal of ICT programs in major destinations such as Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom will likely persist, influenced by their robust educational infrastructure and favorable post-graduation opportunities. On the downside, countries like Brazil and Colombia remain low in ICT student enrollments, potentially influencing regional educational policies and investments in these areas.
