“…Higher education is becoming in common aspiration in all Asian countries (Muthanna & Sang, 2018). Over the last few decades, there has been a steady increase in number of students in almost all Asian countries and in accordance with some projections, the number of students will get doubled in near future (Ullah, Mohamad, Hassan, & Chattoraj, 2019). However, this trend will play out in a dissimilar manner provided the diverging demographic changes in various parts of the globe (Nadtochy et al, 2016).…”

The importance of education cannot be denied in any region of the world because it is the aspect on which the future and growth of the country is based. There are many aspects that are found to have impacts on quality of education, however in this study; the author has used corruption, demographic pressure and brain drain along with control variables i.e. population and per capita income and the impacts of all the above mentioned variables on quality of education have been studied. The approaches such as unit root test, cointegration test and coefficient estimation test have been used by the author for the data analysis purpose. The author has found out the order of integration, cointegrated relationships presence as well as their measurement by using all these approaches. The data in this case was collected from eight countries of Asian region for 26 years and the above-mentioned tests were run on it. The results obtained indicate that corruption and brain drain have significant impact on quality of education along with the control variables, population and per capita income. The author has also discussed some theoretical, practical and policy making implications and some of the limitations of this study.

“…For example, Malaysia invites them under a second home project, Thailand through a Thai elite residence scheme for wealthy buyers and entrepreneurs, while Singapore invites them as business professionals or investors (Arcibal, 2019; Ullah and Kumpoh, 2018). This implies that all these countries invite elite/privileged migrants, albeit with different strategies (Ullah et al, 2019). As a result, countries from South Asia lose wealthy people who move to take advantage of these programmes.…”

The circumstances prevailing in South Asia (SA) have led to a plateauing migration stream that has resulted in several categories of migrants. The underlying factors driving migration have been identical in all the countries of SA. In recent years, however, poverty, conflicts, political and religious persecution, natural disasters and climate change have emerged as the most prominent drivers. External migration flow from SA has more than doubled between 2000 and 2015. This is a dynamic region, with millions (over 38m in 2017) of people crossing borders, both intra-regionally and extra-regionally. In recent years, wealthy citizens from SA have begun to move out of their countries with the intention of settling down elsewhere. This tendency has raised concerns among the policy makers because they create the grounds for reverse remittance flows. This research is meant to identify and contribute to the discourse of a new category of migrants (non-conventional migration) who are different from those in the conventional migration stream that included economic and forced migration. This research has crucial policy implications for both origin and destination countries.

“…In the case of migrants, migrant network had been found to be an effective measure to combat negative vertical mismatch although it did not make any significant difference for horizontal mismatch (Chort, 2017). Failure in meeting market demands, which rooted from unanticipated challenges arising from intra-regional labour flows and disruption technology among others, demanded an education system overhaul (Ullah, 2019). In response to that suggestion, this research attempts to develop an effective education supply chain by integrating the supply chain coordination concept.…”

“…Moreover, in a short term, graduates with horizontal, vertical or mere mismatch experienced 21 percent higher probability of being in a part-time work (Li, Harris, & Sloane, 2018). In a long run, education-job mismatch will increase brain drain where certain countries attract highly talented people through emigration and leave other countries without any talent or skills for their growth (Pride & Tatenda, 2017;Ullah, 2019).…”

The purpose of this conceptual paper is to develop the education supply chain framework by integrating the supply chain coordination dimensions that are information sharing, commitment, joint decision making and responsiveness. A qualitative framework analysis methodology proposed by Srivastava and Thomson (2009) will be performed by interviewing seven groups of supply chain actors (schools/polytechnics, university, employers, government, professional bodies, current students and alumni) until data saturation is reached to understand the participants' experiences about supply chain coordination. The interview data will be analysed by using thematic analysis and emerging themes will help to explain the education supply chain framework from supply chain coordination perspectives. In education supply chain context, this is the first attempt to embed the selected supply chain coordination dimensions in the existing framework. Education supply chain actors could benefit from this framework by performing better coordination to reduce the education-job mismatch.
