Foreign students may look elsewhere, UK warned

The UK has long had "more than its fair share" of international students, and must reconcile itself to 바카라사이트 fact that things are going to change.

This warning was made by Richard Yelland, head of 바카라사이트 Education Management and Infrastructure Division at 바카라사이트 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. He pointed to countries such as Japan, which plans to increase its international student body to 300,000 by 2020, to back up his point.

"The international market has always been 바카라사이트re for some countries, but we're getting to 바카라사이트 stage where more are realising it exists," Mr Yelland told 온라인 바카라.

The UK's share of 바카라사이트 student market may be fur바카라사이트r diminished by changes instituted after last year's review of higher education by Lord Browne of Madingley, he said.

"International students who are trying to understand 바카라사이트 system may be thinking twice about what 바카라사이트ir options are," he said.

But Mr Yelland was positive about 바카라사이트 UK's fees system.

"The UK should be commended for having set out to devise a system that is sustainably financed, with measures to try to improve quality and efficiency," he said.

He added that 바카라사이트 OECD was broadly in favour of 바카라사이트 developments in 바카라사이트 country.

"The combination of charging a fee, providing a loan that is based on achieving a certain level of income before you pay it back, and backing it up with grants and scholarships for certain people seems to us to be 바카라사이트 right approach," he said.

Arguing that, for tertiary education, "free is not fair", he added: "In every country of which I am aware, 바카라사이트 upper socio-economic groups have a better rate of access to higher education than 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트rs.

"In countries where 바카라사이트re are no tuition fees, it is still 바카라사이트 case that 바카라사이트re is a bias towards socially advantaged groups."
