Educational institutes of foreign lands develop institutes to provide both general education in a field and vocational trainings related to a field. According to the study conducted by Verger in 2008 reveals that the investment from foreign educational institutes are more in providing basic and general education related to a field and less in institutes that provide vocational training (Verger, 2008). This study shows that 33% of foreign institutes have been established in the vocational training field whereas the rest of the 67% investment of the foreign and international institutes were in the field of general education of various fields (Verger, 2008).
