Those universities should shut down! It's the free market - companies/organisations that cannot withstand change should be allowed to close. Most of those universities were polytechnics previous governments changed their statuses to universities. If a university cannot thrive even when foreign students enrolment has plummeted, it should close. Bankruptcy/insolvency is part of business. I doubt the likes of Imperial College, University of Exeter, Durham University, Leeds University, London School of Economics, Oxbridge, UCL, Queen Mary's University etc, are complaining. Alternatively, the affected universities should be merged with other struggling universities. 4 Likes |

While the decision to stop international students from bringing their dependents into the UK has its harsh effect on UK universities' finances, I think it will have more positives on the UK economy in the long run. Let's be clear here. Having a bunch of people overwhelm your infrastructure is a big challenge to any serious country anywhere in the world. It's only in Nigeria that we allow a chaotic city like Lagos exist. The UK is having serious immigration issues and cutting down on dependants is one of the ways of arresting the anomaly. While the number of Nigerian applicants to UK universities has significantly reduced (by 44% or so), applicants from other countries (like India that commands the highest number of applicants) reduced only by a small fraction. Also, UK universities are now lowering their requirements to encourage more international students to apply. For instance, they are waiving IELTS and increasingly accepting 2.2 graduates for MSc and MBA courses. In the long run, yes, the decision will affect UK universities' finances, but I think we are blowing things out of proportion in Nigeria because our people are the worst hit! So, we should stop crying more than the bereaved in this country. Let's get Nigeria to work for all! The decision to slash the number of dependents coming into the UK is for the best interest of that country. 16 Likes |

chiefolododo: ....And what exactly are the universities in Nigeria interested in?!! Free education?!! Come to UK, school, get a degree, then see if you can get a job and fit into their society... But nope, Nigerians and others must pack their generations into the country at mere mention of admission. Even granting some Nigerians tourist visa is risky... Same issue. Same desperation. I heard some pilgrims to Israel and Saudi become 'missing' when it's time to leave. 1 Like |

TINTINABULATION: Very true. Our action of inadequate government services and utilities has the consequences of making us export ourselves to Britain and Europe to be second class migrants whose descendants are called black even when the father is white, like the new Welsh leader. What a legacy of collectively extreme poverty paupers who can't provide ordinary water in all their buildings. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
