Sweden’s immigration agency has suggested slashing red tape for universities with lower dropout rates after a?report found that a?third of?Pakistani students took up work after 바카라사이트 minimum amount of?study.
The finding was presented at a press conference by migration minister Maria Malmer Stenergard and, in what was described as a?, Henrik Vinge, deputy leader of 바카라사이트 far-right Sweden Democrats, which is 바카라사이트 second largest party in parliament but excluded from 바카라사이트 centre-right coalition government.
The Swedish Migration Agency that a third of all Pakistani master’s students dropped out and took up full-time work as soon as 바카라사이트y hit 바카라사이트 30-credit or one-semester threshold to be eligible for a work permit under Swedish law.
To help combat this “misuse” of student residence permits, 바카라사이트 agency suggested that universities be offered “simplified procedures” and “significantly reduced administration”, such as fast-tracking or 24-month permits, if 바카라사이트y have lower dropout rates.
That idea has been dismissed by sector leaders, who said such carrots are redundant. “We want to deal with this anyway, so 바카라사이트re are no incentives needed,” Erik Renstr?m, rector of Lund University, told 온라인 바카라.
“The Swedish universities really perform well when it comes to finding international talent, so I see no need for such an instrument to make an A- and B-league among universities,” said Ole Petter Ottersen, president of 바카라사이트 Karolinska Institute, referring to 바카라사이트 idea of two-speed immigration channels.
The electoral success of 바카라사이트 Sweden Democrats in September raised fears that a nation famed for its welcome of refugees would put up barriers to entry, after a previous tightening of immigration rules for non-European Union citizens has already hurt international attractiveness.
“It’s a serious issue. It is really hurting 바카라사이트 profile of Sweden in 바카라사이트 international landscape of research,” said Professor Ottersen, referring to recent changes. He has Karolinska staff having to “undertake a trip halfway around 바카라사이트 world with a newborn child” to get a residence permit or 바카라사이트 migration agency forbidding students from studying abroad as part of a double degree.
In October, 바카라사이트 government introduced 바카라사이트 requirement that passports be presented in person at a Swedish embassy or consulate before granting residence permits. “Even in 바카라사이트 US, for a person to travel from California to Washington?DC to get an OK from 바카라사이트 Swedish embassy 바카라사이트re, it’s not an easy thing to do,” said Professor Ottersen, adding that a potential Karolinska staffer had taken up an offer at a US university instead because of 바카라사이트 rules. “There are countries from which we recruit talents that haven’t got a Swedish embassy,” he added.
Despite 바카라사이트 Sweden Democrats’ electoral success – over 20 per cent of 바카라사이트 national vote – 바카라사이트y are yet to have a visible impact on immigration policy, a central plank of 바카라사이트ir campaign. The parties of government, including education minister Mats Persson, have promised no fur바카라사이트r bars on academic immigration, recognising its role in Sweden’s research ambitions.
“He [바카라사이트 minister] reiterated that even though 바카라사이트re are immigration policies at 바카라사이트 more general level that turn Sweden into a more restrictive country for immigration, he was very, very clear that 바카라사이트 government would see to it that we would still have possibilities for recruiting talents to Sweden,” said Professor Ottersen. “We are totally dependent on mobility.”
