Staying Resilient, Looking Ahead: COVID-19’s influence on Indian and Nepalese students’ views on education and careers
The survey offers a deep and nuanced understanding of how students who are toward the end of high school make decisions about their futures and their level of preparedness for their futures. The findings are relevant for schools; colleges and universities; employers and industry; and governments to gauge whether their education systems are adequately preparing the youth population for entry into an increasingly competitive global marketplace.

Global Knowledge and Talent Flows: An Imbalanced Equation?
The report raises some pertinent questions on the issue of access and equity within postsecondary education: Are the current global flows of students advancing wealthier nations over developing ones? Are students from the developing world returning at higher rates to their countries of origin? How do we ensure that the mobility of students and talent is based on principles of access, equity, and inclusiveness, both at the individual student level and at a national level?
