Abstract: This article explores the multifaceted challenges encountered by students from rural schools in Sri Lanka when they enroll in foreign tertiary education institutions, with hopes of transferring to affiliated universities in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, and the USA. Drawing on 24 years of experience in higher education at two foreign universities in Sri Lanka, and extensive teaching experience at the primary and secondary levels, this article provides an in-depth analysis of the socio-economic, cultural, and educational hurdles these students face. The article incorporates educational theories to offer insights and recommendations for educators, policymakers, and support systems to better assist these students in their academic and personal transitions.
