Some will need to downsize, perhaps consider which courses (commonly regarded as Mickey mouse or filler courses) can be removed or descoped, what courses can be taught online, think of more innovative ways to bring in revenue e.g. actively engaging their alumni, company donations/investments, research grants etc

We will be here sha

The Tories are already gone, they're just "squatting" in No 10 pending when the GE is finally called.

Imo, save some energy to hold the new Labour government to account when they get into office so that we do see the changes (or at least concrete steps towards the changes) that they have promised and that the country so badly needs.

You sound so sure?

If education is truly a cover for mass migration (which is true) , which immigrant will opt to pay 16k or even 10k pounds for an online course ? 🤣

The mass migration/education front is mainly from certain countries and I agree that they would not want to pay £10k for online teaching (although many did during COVID).

However, online courses are popular among certain demographics in the UK and could be a way for universities to gain revenue while cutting costs that come with on-prem teaching.

The polls are consistently pointing to this, plus there is now a general feeling of fatigue with the current government , particularly Sunak, which means that nothing he does or says is having the desired effect. Tories are approaching near on 15 years in power - that is a very long time in the west and it is extremely difficult for any government, even a relatively good one, to retain high ratings when people start to agitate for a change. Other examples are Merkel, Trudeau, Rutte etc.

And I think it is this fatigue that could usher in a non-Tory Government after after the G.E, not because the non-Tory parties have any sound, workable and properly costed policies that differ from the status quo.

Reason why I am always amused when someone on this thread creates the impression that their party is the silver bullet.

Like Nigeria APC in 2015, Like UK ‘Red Party’ on 2024.

Abeg has anyone here heard of making money on digitalinfoways? This people has been disturbing me that they got my contact from indeed and offering me remote work on digitalinfoways. Where it got tricky was when I made withdrawal for joining commission 😀 and then them advising me to deposit before qualifying for more commission/tasks.

One of the strategies to adapt is increasing domestic school fees by 10-15%. I hope that comes into effect. 😁


It probably will.

However home fees were capped at circa £1k per year in my day, many home students paid nothing as fees were means tested on household income. So to go from that to paying approx £9k, (minus accomodation costs, which means many students graduate with loans of > £30k for a 3 year course) is already a significant jump for home students. Increasing fees much more will make many seriously consider the cost benefit of a conventional university degree when there are alternative, more economical and even paid routes to being qualified such as apprenticeships.

So universities need to consider their moves very carefully.

I agree and I don't see the Labour party as a silver bullet...however I do think that the current version of the Tory government is quite woeful, largely self-serving and desperately lacking in well thought out , strategic, impactful policies.

It's steadily gone down hill since Cameron left (and that's saying something) and I think the Tories need some time in the wilderness to reset/split and rediscover who they are and what they stand for. They need to bring back the likes of Soubry, Grieve and the like who stood firm for what they believed was good for the country, not this lot who either meekly go along with their party in order to keep their jobs and parliamentary perks, or fight their party to further their own ambitions.

lol ..Zahra29 ? You really believe that universities will close the gap financially by doing that? Of course not, like i said months ago many universities will struggle to survive and govt will be forced to step-in or relax the policy for student visa.

Not the current gap, no. But I've said that realistically many universities that have built their funding models almost entirely on reliance on foreign students from "key countries" will have to downsize because this model isn't sustainable, unless they are able to convince the country that migration levels of close to 1m is acceptable in order to keep them afloat.

So ultimately, this leaves many of them at risk of highly-probable permanent decline. Because if there are no int’l students to keep staff wages afloat, no domestic students willing to pay that high and very few number of people taking online courses, what does that spell? 🫢

It probably will.

She should tell him to take the legal action he wants to take.

Insofar as the transfer to the new tenants was done with his knowledge and consent (and he even received consideration - the forfeited deposit), the contract between your sister and the landlord is terminated and she has no business talking with him about the house at all.
Thank you for your response. It has been sorted.

I guess the original question was about Labour’s plans for war spending. Put on another way, what will be Labour’s Defense budget commitment?

It’s the UK they have built a reputation for themselves over the years. Student will still come for study’s. And mind you the money they have made from student this past 3 years will be put back into their economy. In a nutshell they will find a way. They always do.

As a labour advocate, it is best you follow the foreign policy of your government and the opposition so that when u start the door-to-door campaign, you will have extra points to sell your party..

The current onslaught of the UK/US attack on the Houthis in Yemen is been led by David Cameron because of the Red Sea shipping route.

Rushy can't help his strangling cold economic policy, but can send bombs to the ME/Yemen to kill innocent people all because of the Zionist IsraHell govt controlling his balls. Meanwhile, they are still massively funding Ukraine Zelensky on taxpayers money working in the cold winter!

Hypocritical West!
