Great! We had too many grifters coming in on these visas and doing delivery jobs.
Excellent news. Credit to the government. Good to see dependants applications plummet as well.
Universities are going to fold. The one my wife lectured at (a well known one which has been around since the late 1800s) is on the brink. They’ve become increasingly reliant on international students, and staff redundancies galore to keep it going so far.
If you are serious about wanting to control immigration, you should be voting for the current Labour government.
There is PLENTY to criticise them for (Mandelson, OSA for starters), but their record on reducing immigration is the best we’ve had in at least a decade.
Reform voters I do not understand, because they’re going to vote for Nigel Farage. He told you Brexit was a good idea.
It caused a significant increase in immigration.
So, after the government asked to check students’ attendance, half of them gave up.
I hope some universities fold. The university system in the UK is way too dependent on international students and is bloated.
International students contribute roughly £42 billion a year to the UK economy. Net of every cost they bring with them, it’s still about £37 billion. In Leeds alone, where I live, two universities, they put around £400 million into the local economy every year.
University fees from international students now make up nearly a quarter of total university income. That’s the money that subsidises teaching for British students. Take it away and 45% of English unis are already projected to be in deficit next year before you even factor in the visa collapse in.
If the big universities start shutting departments or going under, that’s thousands of jobs, an entire student housing market, and most of the local economy around campuses gone. Not ‘international student problem’ it becomes everyone’s problem.
But yeah, HUH DUH immigration. Let’s set fire to one of the few export industries we’re actually world-class at so the Home Office can put a smaller number on a slide to please the deformites.
Unis will get the flack for ‘poor financial decisions’, whilst governments starved the sector of funding.
No I am not talking about the scam degree factories. I’m talking about solid institutions who were forced into gambling it all on international student markets.
Damaging one of our leading industries because of Theresa May’s crackers idea that someone taking a Masters degree should be counted as a regular migrant.
The average Chinese student spends an absolute fortune not just on the university but accommodation and general living expenses (not to mention the tourism that gets tied up in the stay) and leaves after 12-18 months. Universities are massive employers.
People complain about immigration but student visa and their families bring 50B quid into the economy a year imagine. Immigration isn’t destroying the country its actually saving it.
Some international students were here to abuse system by bringing 5 dependants. They are not doing this anymore.
I don’t know from the headline if this is good or bad. I studied with lots of brilliant international students but there is a genuine problem with the visa farm lowest rung shit tier universities whose business model is exactly this
lol our education sector is going to absolutely die.
Say what you want about it. But anytime I’m seeing someone graduate. There’s about 70,000 Asian names that are making up a big amount of those graduates. Where is the uni going to get the money from now?
I love how everyone on this reddit is celebrating this when most of the universities are going to struggle to stay affloat. The international students contribute an ample lot to the economy. The reason the tories introduced the PSW and relaxed some of the rules a few years back was due to the universities tanking and less students coming in. This cycle continues every few years. The country and the government will be changing rules again in a few years time when they realise this was a shit outcome and then beg everyone to come back.
Anyone thinking this is a good thing is unfortunately a complete moron.
It’s actually because it doesn’t lead to a job anymore. Forget immigration. Why would anyone want to immigrate to a country that has no jobs
On the plus side if we destroy the UK all the migrants will leave.
That’s natural because two of the incentives were a path to residence and job opportunities, which are non-existent now.
Funny how when they close the dodgy college route it drops
Yeah! About time we stopped those
*checks notes*
paying students coming here and boosting our economy
Most uni students who come here to study usually go back home once they receive their degree. Don’t know why so many people are complaining that we are losing skilled workers
