      Hold on, in advanced education here in my area of the states, almost half the population of students in classes I see are of Chinese or Indian backgrounds and most are here on foreign visas.

      If the education is so shit, why are there so many foreign students studying here and paying insane amounts of money to do so.

        ‘Chinese or Indian backgrounds’ so not Chinese.
        China leads in 95% of STEM and they’re only getting better and widening the gap.
        The US has a handful of good Ivy league institutions (invariably using foreign professors and braindrain), the general level is mediocre at best.

        I’d think enrollment rates would be a severe lagging indicator of education quality. Institutions could likely coast on reputation for quite some time after education quality tanks. Inertia is powerful, and some could even knowingly decide to go to poor educational institutions just for the status it still gives among peers and in their community.

        That said, I have no first hand experience with US higher education, and wouldn’t know what the quality really is, just saying that enrollment rates probably aren’t a great indicator of it.
