Overseas education, strategic investment in Sri Lanka’s future

While sending students abroad impacts foreign reserves initially, this expenditure is an essential investment in Sri Lanka’s future. Sri Lankan migrant workers, for instance, contributed over $7 billion in remittances in 2022, accounting for nearly 8% of the nation’s GDP.

Many graduates secure high-paying jobs abroad and remit funds back, supporting Sri Lanka’s foreign reserves. Additionally, students returning with advanced qualifications bring skills that boost local industries, enhancing productivity and driving economic growth. Overseas education thus creates new opportunities, attracts foreign investments, and fosters long-term economic development.
