  • David Cameron has accused Rishi Sunak of hurting Britain’s soft power and putting universities at financial risk with his threat to curb the visa rights of international students.
    Rishi is desperate to see immigration numbers come down. But what will be the knock on effect of these curbs on our own students?
    Later, an interview with Ukrainian and Arsenal footballer Zinchenko - and why is Lee Anderson sounding one mushroom
    Short of a full English ?

    Rishi Sunak is neither the brightest nor the best.

    This government is aiming to severely reduce higher education in the UK, consequently jeopardising a multi-billion pound industry. The new universities were founded to provide access to higher education for individuals who were previously unable to obtain it. Universities, including old ones, rely on international students to financially support domestic students.

    News Agents, I want to watch and I don't want to wait an extra day to do it. It's basically meant I've naturally stopped listening at all. Please reconsider!

    They will be voted out of Govt and if we are lucky existence next month so it doesn't matter all that much what Sunak plans to do with this. Labour will reverse this madness and allow Universities to increase their foreign student numbers.

    So much of any noticeable growth in northern cities is because of universities. Every other building that's getting thrown up is for accommodation for students, many of which are international. They bring money from their countries and spend it in our cities. It isn't just the university fees they pay and the jobs that the university has, it's all the infrastructure around them, and the cash injection that they bring too.

      I should note also that I am a postdoctoral researcher. I used to do my PhD at a different university to the one I'm at now. That university during COVID seized the opportunity of online lessons, realising that they weren't limited on their course sizes by the size of the classroom. I was asked as a PhD student to help with teaching a masters course that had 250 international students on it. It usually only has about 30. There were 2 faculty members teaching all 250 of those students. I'm quite convinced that the university had to do that to stay afloat.

    This government has a track record of idealogically-based tactical reactions that are economically and strategically inept.

    Has Rishi Sunak made a deal with the Universities in the USA to help them nick our potential students?
    Rishi Sunak was no British Patriot. He only looked out for 2 Countries: the USA and India

    The fees probably need to go up, the job market for graduates to mid level professional jobs is really poor with hundreds of people applying per position and there isn't enough housing to accommodate students.

    • @Ismail-su1xu
      @Ismail-su1xu Před 24 dny

      The fees increased by triple and graduate numbers have increased since then not decreased. So your not so bright suggestion would most likely just unload more debt to students.

      @@Ismail-su1xu The fees have been at the same level for years, ultimately the state should pick up on the costs especially for productive skills and those coming from working class backgrounds but I doubt that’s financially feasible, but the current system isn’t working either.
