Last I heard, Cardiff uni is about to close up their nursing course on the current students, like not even into the next year, they’re about to leave current students stranded! I don’t know if the situation has gotten better since I last heard about this.

University cash crisis to get worse despite tuition fee rise, BBC told



Almost three quarters of universities in England will face financial problems next year - despite tuition fees increasing, the BBC has been told.

A report to be published on Friday - seen by the BBC - reveals how financial issues faced by most universities are even worse than previously thought. The Office for Students (OfS) predicts more than a third are likely to have serious cash flow problems.

Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Sir David Behan, the regulator’s chairman, called for radical change, saying course closures and university mergers might be needed for financial stability.

The government is considering the long-term funding and reform of universities.

Tuition fees in England will rise for current and existing students by £285 to £9,535 a year for those on full-time degrees, in autumn 2025.

Even so, new analysis by the OfS, the independent regulator of higher education in England, will show a worsening position for universities, the BBC understands.

The regulator had said it expected 40% of universities to be in financial deficit in 2023-24.

Now the OfS says by 2025-26, 72% could be spending more money than they have coming in and may have to use an overdraft or financial reserves.

In 40% of institutions, cash flow may become so tight there will only be enough money in the bank to cover one month at a time of bills including salaries.


Universities that traditionally required higher entry grades have fared better, because they have simply taken a bigger share by accepting some students with lower results.

This has led to lower recruitment and increased pressure in universities that accept middling grades, and some smaller institutions.

International recruitment has also fallen, with overall visa applications down by about 16% this year, and 20% fewer applications from India alone.

Since January, most international students have been banned from bringing family members to live with them in the UK.

The rule was introduced last year by Rishi Sunak's government, which committed to bringing immigration numbers down.

Lol lol lolies

Treadway:
lol
Zahra, don't worry

We all will be here to witness how he will do well, just like last time. He will tweet a lot, but he will still do the job. He won't go after his political enemies, just as he didn't do so the last time. The ones who weaponised the Justice dept and went after political enemies just got booted out in historic fashion by Americans..200x worse than what the Tories faced in the Youkay🤣🤣🤣. Imagine losing on ALL fronts. That is a damning indictment and a true testament to what failure looks like.

He won't mismanage 1b USD on Oprah and Beyonce like one airhead I know. If Diddy was not in trouble, himself for collect from the largesse. Lol

It’s like you’re a prophetess oh

Zahra29:
Lol I'm breathing great. Unlike some,I was bracing myself for Trump 2.0 so I'm not shocked at all.

On a serious note, Trump's new border tsar sounds ruthless, Elon and Vivek are going to make sweeping cuts to their civil service, Obamacare might not survive or might get slashed to bare bone, tariffs might end up pushing prices of consumer goods sky high while the rich get even richer, and the country is likely to become even more divided. I'm thankful as always that I don't live in the US.

LOL. 😂

Cyberknight:
The Democrats might have spared a moment or two to think about addressing the drivers of migration. Trump certainly won't. His focus will be on aiming to ensure that the US can keep the flows of people out, not about what makes them flow in the first place.

Everyone and their daddies are truly collecting. 🤣 What a prophet.

justwise:
lol..no comment.

Election have consequences and with American election its global. Everyone 'collect'

Global peace and stability init? 😂 *cries in empty egg counters and deported green card immigrants*

toughest007:
The bulk of what you called him died here and never left the corners of the classroom, as he is now the 47th POTUS and have been called worse and even survived more than two assassination attempts.

Like you said, interesting times ahead as we look forward to global peace and stability above all.

Okay nau. 😂

wallg123:
Spot on bro….What a child could see while on a tree, an “elder” could not see.
Tails are now between there legs, licking wounds >:

Hmm.

Goodenoch:
Funny thing though is that she has the best odds of winning. If I were a betting man I'd be betting on her to be the next leader but never actually become the prime minister. The conservative establishment know it would be great to have her be the mouthpiece of al the Farage-esque things they'd like to say to appeal to the Reform/Right-wing conservative crowd but can't, whereas she can do so freely (for obvious reasons) and is clearly willing to do so nonstop. It doesn't really matter anyway because they don't have a shot of actually winning the next election and likely the one after that. By the time there's a reasonable chance of them winning an election, she'll have been replaced as party leader by someone much more palatable to the base.

How far? 🤣 As you can see, Your beloved Trump is only going after “illegals”. 🤭

All his “accomplished” immigrant supporters will learn. Unfortunately, everybody bears the brunt.

Treadway:
illagal Mexicans look like me and you?

You and I both know these are either utterly unfounded claims, or misrepresented claims, which I have seen the unfair media do time and time again, even live. That alone is enough for me to give the guy a break despite that the guy isn't perfect. I shared a Candace owen video awhile ago (you should watch it), where they tried to distort and misrepresent what she said on live camera nonetheless, not knowing someone on the panel would yield his time to her to respond and call out their shenanigans.

Media that has been caught distorting several of his comments, shouldn't expect me to believe without evidence clickbait that they have become accustomed to spewing. I certainly won't take all they dish hook line and sinker. Shikena.

Shebi Kamala stilll lied about these in the debate
'very fine people on both sides comment'
The bloodshed comment'
Both misrepresented and have been debunked, but some people decide to still hold on to those, and the many more like it. Hate him if you want, but provide evidence, not just kalokalo that CNN is dishing and spreading online. At the recent NABJ conference live, he said to the lady in blue, and I quote 'that you would start off in such a hostile tone, despite being here in high spirits,and you starting late is disgraceful'. Headlines immediate read Trump calls black reporter disgraceful. You will now hold onto that and say he's racist, meanwhile that was downright false. Those two sentences mean two different things, but you expect me who has been paying attention to the fine details of the game, to join the bandwagon cos the guy talks anyhow, is rambunctious, proud, and is blunt.

That you don't like someone or their attributes doesn't make them racist. Simple as ABC. Show proof of his racism, I dare you or anyone for that matter. If Kamala had any, she wouldn't have brought up the flats that he didn't rent out before 1906 (not actual date🤣), as her evidence of racism, don't you think. If she had proof of racism she for talk am na.

QED

Whoop! Congratulationsss 🎉

hustla:
Bossman, job search dey

Between Jan and April, did about 12 interviews, finally got 2 jobs before graduation..

I rest my case

Deleted post by Hustla but couldn’t have captured my stance any better!!! Especially for the “very legal immigrants” here who used to form “voice of reason” before. Can’t lie that some comments from certain “voice of reason” accounts really shocked me like, wau, so you can say this I guess na when your day break be morning 🥹

“”
I remember being on this thread, ranting about how immigrants, especially legal immigrants like students are portrayed by the English media...

I also remember some people here defending their racist actions and portrayal of immigrants, same people who now would be afraid to go out due to the anti immigrant protests going on right now

I hope we can all see that no matter the spree spree English you speak with your nose and the government you defend cos you feel you're now part of them, you're still black and a bloody immigrant at the end of the day

Light n*gga, dark n*gga, faux n*gga, real n*gga

Goodenoch:
That's not what you were asked though.

Your training must have also taught you to respond to questions with empty answers that say a lot but mean nothing, because you seem very good at it. I don't mean that to be offensive BTW - It's actually a good skill to have in some professions.

The question you were asked is "is that what you told your friend whose husband was attacked"?

Or, if your husband was attacked, would you tell him "darling sorry about this gash in your head but did you know that the government is spending 8 million on asylum seekers daily? And in fact did you also know that the UK is not training as many nurses as it needs? Those are the underlying issues why you were attacked"

Oh dear, couldn’t help but imagine what this forum would have been like in early august while I was off. Very close to what I imagined 💀

kwakudtraveller:
Your whole argument has been “I don’t support the violence,” BUT abc. That, BUT is the problem, especially as this platform is filled with black Africans. If you want to speak from both sides of the mouth, perhaps go to Reddit, where you'll have the "balanced" audience that you are looking for.

I just mentioned the white assailant chasing a Muslim couple with a chainsaw, and now you’ve come with the same "whatsaboutism" of white people also getting attacked as if they are the main target (the same thing Claremont accused you of doing, so now I hope you see the trend).

Besides, no one is asking you to join the force or go out for an anti-protest, so don’t try to play the victim card; everyone expects you to understand their fear and how mentality exhausting it is as opposed to sitting comfortably in the middle with your stomach facing the assailants.

Missjekyll mentioned that they tried to burn down a hotel, and you said she shouldn’t spread fake news. Based on your logic with the fire, they were probably trying to roast corn and not burn the hotel to the ground.

Traffic was being organised based on skin colour, with white people getting access and black and brown people being told they couldn’t go through. If you don’t see the problem with your logic and what is actually happening then I have nothing else to say to you.

Abeg try stay safe and don’t go out to these areas where they are rioting, because remember that you are also dark skinned (according to your posts) before they see you as meat to attack, as you won’t be holding your Nairaland post of defence on your chest for them to see.

Hello, just sent you a mail. 🙏🏾

Ticha:
There are no buzzwords per se. Its how you structure your responses to show you are utilising the skills you say you have.
For example, STAR is an excellent way to show how you meet the behaviours. I always advise going a bit further and make it STARR (ie add what you would do differently nezt time in the same situation or your specific learnings from that situation) which then ties into continuous improvement
Send me an email and I'll send you some examples of behaviour responses I've used amd now also use for L and D development sessions at work

Please what platform do you use to buy shares and indexes ? Also, can one buy them on a Student visa?

wallg123:
Please go back and buy. With the current state of global affairs (wars) you won’t go wrong even if it’s just a little portfolio

Many people don’t know you can do many currency conversions on Revolut without any charges. I’ve done Euro to pounds. Pounds to dollars and Dollars to pounds conversions with it, all on separate occasions .

Lexusgs430:
Never knew revolut had revolutionized over the pond...... I never see them advertise ......😁

Or going totally child-free 🏃🏽‍♀️

Lexusgs430:
Nobody would teach you before you subconsciously engage proper family planning or perfect your withdrawal game .........🤣😜

😭😭😭

Kumbhuru??

This is crazy!

See how your taxes are wasted...... You would truly cringe........ 😕😕

kumbhuru:
Which airline is recommended from Lagos to Heathrow

🤣

kumbhuru:
Came and collect the offer from me na. Hateful soul. I lied and would still lie again. You imp
You lots just hate to have people enter the UK with legal documents, with full sponsorship. Not my fault You all came in with low visa types. Ntorrrrrrr

But that’s a compliment nauuu, specialist nurse do usually vex? 🥹

kumbhuru:
Ok, answer my question and quit witchcrafty

Please don’t mind them, three weeks sef is too long. 🤭 3 days ti wa okay

kumbhuru:
Do away with hatred and envy

😂😂😂

kumbhuru:
Lmao, imagine. This is actually sad that you aren't all being helpful, I need to get a Ghanaian forum, as they're more reliable and helpful. Mind you, Anything below Band 5 doesn't qualify for sponsorship jokes on you. I'm a specialist nurse coming in to NHS with a band you won't be able to get in 5 years.

You’re a comedian. 🤣

kumbhuru:
And what's the big deal with driving? I'm not driving from day 1, they've paid for driving lessons already. All that's needed is an idea and a license.
You all left the questions I asked and went on to witchcrafty. Wicked lots

Any way to just siphon money shaaaa. Grasping at straws at this point 😂

kwakudtraveller:
So the English language is how they want to measure people’s level of intelligence. After studying in English and passing a course taught in English, migrants now have to go through another level of scrutiny. Bruuhhh make them cancel the visa make we rest.

Lmao really?? Asin comments like this is why Israel is relentlessly displaying a disproportionate show of terror?

Interesting.

ehizario2012:
Oh what a glorious day! I know there's still a lot of sanity left in the UK, regardless of some challenges. Reasonable decision, it's people/comments like this student that gives Israel reasons to continue the counterattack without restraint.

Lol there’s freedom of speech. The consequences of that speech, however, is a different thing.

lavida001:
So we do not have freedom of speech ?

Interesting.

Peerielass:
For all of you that keep expressing extremist views here and on other platforms. A word is enough for the wise.

ehizario2012:
This is the second time you mentioned copium 😂

It is well

Looool smh.
Something has to be said about the copium people feed themselves when struggling to attain something. Humans are truly an interesting bunch.

BeckyB1:
I keep getting unfortunate emails response from the NHS I have been applying to. I recently learnt another way to apply and I have revamp my CV, and will continue to apply.

But things are happening inside the UK ooo.

While a lot of people are getting unfortunate emails, a few are getting interviews and employment because "dem dey pass back door after some hand greasing"

Whatever you decide, Prisca. 🥹

And you too 🫶🏾

No thank you Nancy, I've had enough negativity for one day.
