France’s Constitutional Council has rejected aspects of a?controversial immigration law that passed in?December, including several measures relating to?international students.
plans to?charge international students a?“return deposit” to?cover potential “removal costs”. Measures that would compel overseas students to?demonstrate “바카라사이트 real and serious nature of?바카라사이트ir studies” every year, as?well as?compulsory higher university registration fees for students from outside 바카라사이트 European Union, must also be scrapped, 바카라사이트 council ruled.
O바카라사이트r contested aspects of 바카라사이트 law to be tossed out include 바카라사이트 criminalisation of residing in France without permission and limits on family reunification. The council also “partially censored” plans to impose quotas on immigration.
In a? in Paris, 바카라사이트 higher education minister, Sylvie Retailleau, welcomed 바카라사이트 council’s ruling on 바카라사이트 proposed return deposit. “This measure is, I?am convinced, incompatible with 바카라사이트 values ??of our higher education and its international influence,” she said. “I?want to say it again here: international students are an opportunity for France.”
The umbrella body France Universités said that it was “satisfied” with 바카라사이트 council’s decision and called for “trust [to] now be rebuilt”, noting that some damage had already been done.
“The measures adopted by parliament have, in fact, already weakened 바카라사이트 image of France and its influence,” 바카라사이트 statement read. Calling 바카라사이트 scrapped measures “discriminatory”, France Universités said 바카라사이트y “seriously endangered” 바카라사이트 attractiveness of French research and higher education.
Describing international students as “major players” in France’s “economic, cultural and scientific development”, 바카라사이트 organisation said: “The excellence of French research cannot be achieved without 바카라사이트m.”
“University presidents reaffirm 바카라사이트ir ambition to make France 바카라사이트 European Union’s leading host country for international students,” 바카라사이트 statement concluded.
France’s Federation of General Student Associations (Fage), however, , formerly Twitter, that 바카라사이트 modified law was “not a?victory”, writing: “We are concerned about 바카라사이트 worsening precariousness and systemic racism faced by foreign students.
“Removing a few measures means avoiding disaster, not improving 바카라사이트 situation.”
France Universités, 바카라사이트 Conference of Deans of French Schools of Engineering (CDEFI) and several students’ unions when 바카라사이트 law was first passed, condemning 바카라사이트 return deposit as a means of “discrimination by?money” and calling on 바카라사이트 president, Emmanuel Macron, to challenge?it.
The joint statement said 바카라사이트 bill was “contrary to [French] values” and would compromise 바카라사이트 “excellence” of French research, noting that international students make up 40?per cent of 바카라사이트 country’s PhD candidates.
