According to the AFS Survey for Indonesia, eight in ten (81%) of the respondents had considered study abroad for their academic goals. Young Indonesians are found very much interested in pursuing their higher education from a reputable institution in abroad.

Along with academic goals and career profile, Young Indonesians also consider safety and security while considering study abroad destinations.
