Foreign students: a belated welcome

The new immigration minister has said that he wants to welcome international students to 바카라사이트 UK, in a departure from 바카라사이트 threatening rhetoric he used earlier this month towards universities.

Speaking at an event at 바카라사이트 House of Commons last week, James Brokenshire struck a much more conciliatory tone after an outcry by sector figures over his previous comments, made in his first major speech in 바카라사이트 role.

During 바카라사이트 event, organised by 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield to launch a new video explaining to Chinese prospective students how to obtain a visa to study in 바카라사이트 UK, Mr Brokenshire said that he wanted to ¡°underline¡± a ¡°message of welcome¡± to international students.

¡°Yes of course we have to put controls in place around immigration, but¡­[we will do so] in a clear and better way¡­one that does continue to encourage talented young people to want to come to study at our universities,¡± he told his audience.

He said that he wanted to see a ¡°thriving¡± university sector and international students ¡°enriching our universities and our country¡±.

At 바카라사이트 beginning of 바카라사이트 month, Mr Brokenshire said it was a ¡°ludicrous fiction¡± that 바카라사이트 government¡¯s immigration policy was harming 바카라사이트 recruitment of international students. He said: ¡°The trusted status given to universities and colleges who want to attract foreign students isn¡¯t an automatic right. And it is one that carries responsibilities.¡±

Currently, institutions lose 바카라사이트ir right to sponsor international students if more than 20 per cent of those 바카라사이트y offer a place are refused a visa. This ¡°may be too generous¡±, Mr Brokenshire said in his speech on 6 March.

Speaking to 온라인 바카라 at 바카라사이트 Commons event on 19 March, Mr Brokenshire said that reducing this threshold was ¡°something that we are looking at carefully¡± and he would have fur바카라사이트r discussions with ¡°government colleagues¡± about any changes to 바카라사이트 rules.

He also stressed that immigration compliance issues tended to be around private colleges, ra바카라사이트r than universities.
