Abstract

The emigration of educated individuals from Iran has become a prominent and multifaceted issue in recent years, eliciting diverse perspectives. Statistical analysis reveals a substantial surge in the number of Iranian students electing Germany as their preferred destination for higher education. Notably, the count of Iranian students studying in Germany has witnessed a more than threefold increase, soaring from 4,182 students in 2008 to 13,279 in 2023. Moreover, the student population has nearly tripled from 4,182 in 2008 to 11,573 in 2021, signifying a 45% surge compared to the preceding year. This prompts an inquiry into the factors underpinning Iranian students' preference for Germany. To delve into this phenomenon, a survey was conducted among Iranians residing in Germany. The survey outcomes reveal that the deteriorating living conditions in Iran, coupled with Germany's political stability and robust social welfare system, have played pivotal roles in motivating students and university graduates to pursue education abroad. Educational advancement emerges as a secondary consideration in their decision-making process.

提高伊朗学生在德国继续深造的积极性。学术界的挑战与机遇

近年来，伊朗受教育人员的移民问题已成为一个突出的、多层面的问题，引发了各种不同的观点。统计分析显示，选择德国作为高等教育首选目的地的伊朗学生人数大幅增加。值得注意的是，在德国学习的伊朗学生人数增长了三倍多，从 2008 年的 4 182 人飙升至 2023 年的 13 279 人。此外，学生人数从 2008 年的 4 182 人增至 2021 年的 11 573 人，增长了近三倍，与前一年相比激增了 45%。这促使我们对伊朗学生青睐德国的因素进行探究。为了深入研究这一现象，我们对居住在德国的伊朗人进行了一项调查。调查结果显示，伊朗日益恶化的生活条件，加上德国稳定的政治局势和健全的社会福利制度，在促使学生和大学毕业生出国求学方面发挥了关键作用。在他们的决策过程中，学历提升是次要考虑因素。
