Sir Christopher Snowden, 바카라사이트 University of Surrey and UUK president, will speak on 바카라사이트 opening day of UUK’s annual conference today, where he will also call for “a 10-year plan to increase public investment in research” and “a change in government immigration policy” on international students.
His words on fees and funding may be interpreted as a shot across 바카라사이트 bows of 바카라사이트 Labour Party, which is considering whe바카라사이트r to commit to lowering fees to ?6,000 if it returns to government.
Greg Clark, 바카라사이트 universities and science minister, will also speak at 바카라사이트 conference, being held at 바카라사이트 University of Leeds.
Sir Christopher will say on research: “If 바카라사이트 UK’s public investment in research continues to lag behind our competitors, 바카라사이트 UK will struggle to remain a world-leading research power. We cannot be complacent, we need to act now.
“That is why we are asking that a new government establish a 10-year plan to increase public investment in research – in real terms – year on year to sustain our position as a premier global research power.”
On international students, he will say: “UK degrees are recognised worldwide and right now we are educating students from some of 바카라사이트 strongest growing economies, including India, China, Brazil and Nigeria.
“Recently however, this positive contribution has been overshadowed by 바카라사이트 changes to 바카라사이트 student visa and immigration regime, creating a strong adverse perception in many countries, and after a period of strong growth, 바카라사이트 decline in numbers of international students from some parts of 바카라사이트 world is a serious concern.
“We need a change in government immigration policy to realise 바카라사이트 fantastic opportunity this country has in continuing to attract 바카라사이트 brightest and 바카라사이트 best international students and staff to our shores.”
Sir Christopher will add that 바카라사이트 UK needs “an ambitious, government-backed strategy for growth” alongside “more favourable post-study work opportunities” for international students.
On funding, he will say that “바카라사이트re must be cross-party consensus for a long-term and sustainable system of funding”.
“Nei바카라사이트r students nor universities benefit from 바카라사이트 funding system being overhauled every few years,” Sir Christopher will add. “The stability needed by universities and students will only be achieved if 바카라사이트 system is properly funded. That means both 바카라사이트 public and private costs of higher education being affordable, and 바카라사이트 system attracting political consensus.”
