Bangladeshi Students' Family Fertilization for Pursuing Higher Education in Australia
Abstract
Among the young Bangladeshi people, like many other international students from developing countries, Australian universities created a position as an emerging terminus for higher education. This chapter pursues to explore the family motivations for Bangladeshi higher education students in becoming physically mobile to chase education in Australian universities. The chapter follows a qualitative methodology and includes the stories of 18 young Bangladeshi students studying at two Australian universities. It aims to enlighten researchers and policymakers in both developing and developed countries about the role of the family as a micro-agent of socialisation in contributing to the global level politics and power related to the higher education industry. The findings of the chapter reveal that the dreams and desires developed and disseminated by their family young students experienced in Bangladesh are quite neoliberal in character. Thus, it provides the analysis of empirical data for both host and sending countries to ensure transnational higher education in developing countries.
