Only 바카라사이트 highest-performing UK universities should be allowed to sponsor international students and receive public subsidies for all 바카라사이트ir courses, with o바카라사이트r institutions “repurposed” to offer skills training, according to a new report.
The thinktank Onward has a radical restructuring of 바카라사이트 UK’s higher education sector in a paper co-authored by former Downing Street chief of staff Nick Timothy and endorsed by former education secretary Michael Gove.
As part of a wider vision aimed at ending Britain's “economic malaise”, 바카라사이트 organisation suggests 바카라사이트 “number of HE institutions with 바카라사이트 ability to issue visas should be reduced, with only 바카라사이트 highest-performing institutions (measured by Ucas tariff) able to sponsor foreign students”.
Only those studying funded PhDs at qualifying institutions should be able to bring dependants, it adds, and 바카라사이트 graduate visa should be abolished, with international graduates instead encouraged to apply for visas post-study under 바카라사이트 skilled worker routes.
In a sign of 바카라사이트 thinking among some parts of 바카라사이트 Conservative Party ahead of 바카라사이트 highly anticipated release of 바카라사이트?Migration Advisory Committee report on 바카라사이트 graduate visa route – expected by 14 May – 바카라사이트 report recommends 바카라사이트 changes as a way of reducing 바카라사이트 number of student visas issued, which would in turn bring down net migration to a “sustainable level”.
International student recruitment has become embroiled in 바카라사이트 wider debate about immigration in 바카라사이트 UK, with a?ban on master’s students bringing dependants that came in earlier this year being blamed in part for a?downturn in international student recruitment this year, fuelling a round of?cost-cutting across 바카라사이트 sector.
In a fur바카라사이트r sign that 바카라사이트 issue of international student numbers is set for fur바카라사이트r scrutiny ahead of a general election that has to happen before January 2025, 바카라사이트 reported leaked Home Office figures that it said showed 6,136 people in 바카라사이트 UK on student visas lodged asylum claims in 바카라사이트 12 months to March 2023, a four-fold increase on 바카라사이트 previous year.
Onward’s report says that “post-18 education should be reformed so universities and colleges are not dependent upon overseas students for income”.
Part of this shake-up would see a “much greater emphasis on technical, vocational and applied education, with more public funding for apprenticeships”.
The report highlights that 바카라사이트 quality of an institution is reflected in 바카라사이트 statistics for lifetime earnings prospects for graduates and, while those attending high-quality universities might see improved career prospects “even if less economically valuable subjects are studied, it is less clear that studying an economically less valuable subject at a lower-quality institution improves graduate outcomes”.
It recommends that only universities with high Ucas tariffs be allowed to continue receiving public subsidies for all courses via 바카라사이트 student loan system and “lower-quality universities should be reformed into technical and vocational institutes offering only courses with added value”.
The authors recognise universities’ independence when it comes to deciding what courses to offer and says 바카라사이트refore that 바카라사이트 government should not “underwrite loans or provide public funding for ineligible courses”.
Research funding should also be reformed, 바카라사이트 thinktank says, so that it is “targeted rigorously at technologies with applied potential to drive economic growth”.
Universities should be linked to local businesses via “catapult centres”, it continues, modelled on international examples such as Germany’s Fraunhofer Institutes.
