Reference:


Subsidizing their soccer league, subsidizing their banks, and financial markets, and on and on..... It's called globalization. Where wealth flows from the un-serious to the serious nations.

You can imagine how much subsidy your President has made/paid to their health care system in the last 8 years. They will dearly miss him.



Hmmmmmm,

Sad.

Home student fees is £10k and they pay it through student loan that most times they abandon it and move to Australia or US or Canada when they are done.

International student fees is £17,000 and majority even get extension and pay more.

The UK only thinks about money. And that is the overriding factor. The government will cave in. Otherwise it will have to fund universities if they don’t want fee increases for home students. And where is the funding coming from, when all social services are stretched beyond limit and poverty rate is increasing at alarming rate. It is the jobless and low income group that is anti-immigrant, not the educated and well to do people. They are always afraid that immigrants are coming to share in their pot of social benefits.
Don't let your fellow ur chins see this comment. It's against ronu policy.

Confusion between the UK govt and UK universities. Let’s see who blinks first first.

The UK government knows precisely how much the economy gains from foreign students, so the policy has a lot to do with appealing to party voters who want reduced immigration. This is essentially is what Brexit was about too.

International students studying in Glasgow, London, Sheffield, Nottingham and Newcastle are among those to deliver the greatest financial boost, according to the report. Even when taking into account dependants and the cost to public services, which it estimates at £4.4bn, the study says international students are a huge net contributor to the UK economy, providing a total net benefit of £37.4bn.

It will be their lost in the end, prospective students that wants to move with their family will be seeking admissions at countries that will accept them with their family. The UK economy needs the money grin


I'll say this again. Genuine students are not approaching 40 sell everything in their home land and move with 4-5 family members to another country.
Those who genuinely want to study at a UK unversity which are among the best in the world will still come solo. The Indians and Chinese students aren't crying about this new change in policy even though they make up the majoirty of international students because most of them come solo.

UK universities are greedy, collecting huge money while dishing out half baked certificates. They do not care if the UK economy sinks as much as they are making money. Due to massive crowd, the quality of education has nose dived, and UK universities are now teaching students in batches. Pathetic.

Sunak is saddled with managing the UK economy. He understands how the surge in immigration will affect the whole UK. He wont listen to those greedy uni.

Well analysed.

However, if UK continues in letting people in, their economy will go down. UK can't eat their cakes and still have it.

Most people travelling are working as low skilled workers. The jobs are not going round again as the country is over saturated with low skilled workers, meaning that even the immigrants are poorer and struggling
It's a lose lose at the end of the day.

You don't want people flooding to your country to damage it like the place they are running from..

So you have to plan everything appropriately and at the same time give people opportunity to migrate to your country.

I have continued to say and will continue to say. The UK is overrated, students should look else where and take their hard earned money to other countries who will respect and appreciate them.
The Nigerian government has failed its people by not investing the necessary resources to keep our universities competitive with others thats why we are getting treated this way.
I hope this serves as a lesson and eye opener

Check the graph above...if you don't understand it then ask and stop defending nonsense.

China has the highest number of international students in the UK but the number of dependents they brought were less than 500 for instance.

The UK is not overrated which is why the whole world wants to come here. Na bad belly dey let Nigerians dey talk anyhow to downgrade the UK.

That being said Nigerians should stay in Nigeria and build the country instead of running away because everywhere una dey go na to find one issue or another with whereever they choose to settle.

Because we are still in 2023 and there is incomplete data for this year.

You misunderstood the graph obviously or you no sabi read?

Figure 3 shows that [b]Nigeria had the highest number of dependants (60,923) of sponsored study visa holders [/b]in 2022, increasing from 1,586 in 2019. Indian nationals had the second highest number of dependants, increasing from 3,135 to 38,990. There were almost 120,000 dependant visas granted to the top 5 nationalities (Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) in 2022.

When looking at the proportional change in visa grants to dependants, by nationality, Nigeria saw a large increase in the proportion of sponsored study related visas granted to dependants, from 19% in 2019, to 51% in 2022. Indian nationals also saw an increase in the proportion of dependants, from 8% to 22%.

Outside of the top 5 nationalities, the increase in proportion was more modest (from 4% to 6%).

majority of prospective students from Nigeria are approaching 40 and wants to travel with their family. This is exactly why they will look at other countries.... The arrangement use to be a win win for both parties, if the UK decided to change it overnight, i ttust my people to look elsewhere.

Btw it is those (atleast a large number of them) who are approaching 40 that can afford this study route because atleast one (if not both) of the couples must have been working for years and must have saved some reasonable amout of money

I can share with you the jobs available at Job Centre in my area. Most of them are low skilled jobs. The natives don’t just want to work. They want to claim benefits and watch football and travel about in Europe with it.
