SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Lecture. Oh the Places they will Go: Qatari High School Students and their College Choices
DESCRIPTION:Qatari high school students have many choices and freedom when it comes to deciding on where to pursue their undergraduate degrees. Using the push-pull framework\, this research presentation explores why Qatari high school students choose to study abroad rather than pursue their post-secondary education in Qatar\, and what push-pull factors influence their decision to study abroad or locally. The research will also look at students' parents to see where they would like their child to apply for a comparison. The research questions are: What factors are associated with Qatari high school students’ decision to apply to college/university abroad or locally? What factors are associated with Qatari parents in helping their child’s decision to apply to college/university abroad or locally? This presentation will be a sneak peek at Mohammad's dissertation.\n   \n   Mohammad Al-Ansari (he/him) is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in the Higher Education and Student Affairs program at the University of Iowa. He is also a Senior Research Assistant at Qatar University's Social & Economic Survey Research Institute. His research interests include the purpose of higher education\, students' aspirations and motivations for pursuing a college degree\, and the development of education policy in Qatar.\n\nRegister at https://myumi.ch/Nrg5Q\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.
