Authors : Belhocine Houa-hassina .

Abstract

Education in general is a vector of development and well-being for individuals and societies alike. In today's knowledge-based society, higher education is the foundation for the human capital needed to master technologies, drive economic growth and create wealth. Today's student migration accompanies the globalization of higher education. The emigration of students to the countries of the North has become a subject of multi-disciplinary study, a controversial and political issue, and a hot topic in the media. In this article, we sketch out this issue, attempting to theorize it and place it in context.
