The Process is to culmination in a standardized educational system in 46 European and mid Asian countries. This research evaluates the potential social and psychological issues that have been created in conjunction with this policy as it relates to students and their development. The research gives clear examples of student development issues that can be linked to student mobility, employment, and socialization which are key issues of the policy.
