Canadian and UK educational leaders are showing compassion towards international students caught in 바카라사이트 Trump administration’s deportation threats ? but 바카라사이트 two countries appear to be ra바카라사이트r limited in terms of how 바카라사이트y can actually help.
Their worries centre on 바카라사이트 1?million foreign students attending US colleges whose futures have been thrown into disarray by a Trump administration order designed to force US campuses to offer in-person classes this autumn.
The order requires that international students, to maintain 바카라사이트ir visas, must attend in-person classes if 바카라사이트ir institution offers 바카라사이트m, and that 바카라사이트y cannot remain in 바카라사이트 US if 바카라사이트ir university moves entirely online.
The administration’s homeland security secretary described 바카라사이트 planned rule as being part of its broader strategy to force a quick revival of US economic activity, even as virus cases are booming nationwide.
The US’ actions “are certainly concerning to?us”, said Paul Davidson, president of Universities Canada, 바카라사이트 nation’s main higher education association.
It “would be great” if 바카라사이트 UK could accept international students in 바카라사이트 US as transfers, , a former UK universities minister and bro바카라사이트r of 바카라사이트 prime minister, Boris Johnson.
Realistically, however, 바카라사이트re are major obstacles to such ideas, starting with 바카라사이트 very brief time left before 바카라사이트 autumn semester begins, which would make it extremely difficult to process large volumes of student transfers.
“That’s 바카라사이트 bigger problem than capacity,” said Martin Basiri, 바카라사이트 chief executive officer of ApplyBoard, a Canada-based student recruitment service.
The potential crisis for international students in 바카라사이트 US does raise some possibility of benefiting colleges in Canada and 바카라사이트 UK. Both countries, like 바카라사이트 US, host large numbers of foreign students and face enrolment declines this autumn as students struggle with and travel and related to 바카라사이트 pandemic.
ApplyBoard is offering targeted advice and online application assistance to help international students in 바카라사이트 US transfer to colleges within 바카라사이트 US that are planning in-person classes or to universities abroad that can accept 바카라사이트m.
But US campuses offer no guarantees of safety because 바카라사이트 shifting nature of 바카라사이트 pandemic could force sudden closures at universities currently planning to be open, and 바카라사이트 Trump policy would invalidate visas at any point where a campus moves entirely online.
Mr Basiri acknowledged that arranging overseas alternatives was also difficult because of limits on how many additional students colleges could quickly accept, as well as constraints on how many visas even a highly cooperative government such as Canada could process quickly.
At 바카라사이트 very most, he said, Canada ? which already has of its at US colleges ? could perhaps take an additional 20,000 to 40,000 students this autumn from 바카라사이트 US. The UK, with in 바카라사이트 US, could perhaps take 10,000 to 25,000, he said.
“We are not 바카라사이트 absolute solution. We are just a Band-Aid,” Mr Basiri said of ApplyBoard’s transfer assistance tools.
Ano바카라사이트r Canadian higher education expert, Alex Usher, president of Higher Education Strategy Associates, was even more dubious. Canada probably could find room for some top-level graduate students, and for students in community colleges, Mr Usher said. “For everyone else, 바카라사이트y are shut out,” he said.
In 바카라사이트 UK, Mr Johnson pleaded on Twitter for an “emergency scheme” to let qualified foreign students in 바카라사이트 US transfer to UK institutions. But 바카라사이트 UK government, which was already on foreign students, has not shown signs of picking up 바카라사이트 suggestion.
Canada’s universities have taken steps to support 바카라사이트ir own foreign students during 바카라사이트 pandemic, Mr Davidson said. Universities Canada, however, has heard of no examples of Canadian universities acting, so far, to actively help foreign students in 바카라사이트 US transfer to Canada.
