United Kingdom
According to various reports, there are nearly 10,000 Pakistani students studying in the United Kingdom.[2][3] All in all, between 2004 and 2008, as many as 42,000 Pakistani students were admitted into the UK.[1]
United States
As of 2010, there were 5,222 Pakistani students in the United States, putting Pakistan among the top 25 countries sending students to the U.S.[4] The volume of Pakistani students migrating to the United States has been relatively stable over the past few years. The Express Tribune reports that the drop in the number of Pakistani students in the United States following the September 11 attacks is a myth and observes that the numbers going to the US for study have simply decreased due to an increase in more higher education institutions opening back home. According to Shazia Khan, "In the last 10 years, there has been an increase in the number of higher education institutes in Pakistan. This encourages many students to study in the country and not apply abroad".[5]
