I'll interpret this from the standpoint of an international student who actually experienced this gap in pursuing my doctoral studies. Even though we were paying almost three times the cost of a host country student, the curriculum content was lacking a global focus, more so from developing countries like those in the Caribbean. My research at that time showed that faculty needed to be trained in diversifying the curriculum content to include a global perspective. The attached shows who the level of global education for international students was lacking and what they think should be done to address the issue. I hope this is helpful to your question.
Best regards,

I think there are economic problems in many countries, a general lack of peace, increased crime and terrorism, and this has affected the schools, universities and students, causing an apparent drop in the level of global education. In the past five to ten years, knowledge has increased so much, that it now seems the acquisition of knowledge has dropped. Perhaps it's just relative, but if we are not pushing to acquire education, we would be left behind. (However, the countries where education, research and knowledge are highly prized (like US, UK) will try to keep their monopoly of scholars, researchers, and Nobel laureates.)
Uncertainty may be major cause in developing countries, while in developed countries the quality education has no effect on living standards.Developed nations have also made specific institutes for certain purposes, which has diverted the attention of industries from universities to specific institutes.
