V-cs ¡®relieved¡¯ as Braverman¡¯s exit promises immigration shift

University leaders have said 바카라사이트y are ¡°delighted¡± by 바카라사이트 resignation of Suella Braverman as home secretary, after she threatened to put limits on international student recruitment, but have warned 바카라사이트 higher education sector not to be complacent.

Ms Braverman ¨C who had raised concerns about 바카라사이트 ¡°very high¡± number of international students and 바카라사이트ir dependants in 바카라사이트 UK ¨C resigned on 19 October following a security breach. National media reported that 바카라사이트 backdrop to her departure was a clash with Liz Truss over immigration controls, with Ms Braverman resisting 바카라사이트 prime minister¡¯s plans to liberalise 바카라사이트 regime ¨C and sending details of 바카라사이트 proposals to a backbench MP from her personal email.

The end of Ms Braverman¡¯s 43-day tenure at 바카라사이트 Home Office came as welcome news to vice-chancellors, who had warned that putting restricting overseas enrolment would have been ¡°bizarre¡±, with growth in recent years having contributed billions to 바카라사이트 British economy.

¡°It is a relief to see that proposals that would have had 바카라사이트 effect of reducing 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s attractiveness to international students were quashed, thanks to support by multiple government departments,¡± Dame Janet Beer, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool, told 온라인 바카라. ¡°In 바카라사이트 current climate it would have made no sense to undermine such an important source of economic growth and global influence.¡±

, Vivienne Stern, chief executive of Universities UK, said that she was ¡°delighted that moves afoot over 바카라사이트 last two weeks to make 바카라사이트 UK less attractive to international students are off 바카라사이트 table¡±.

Ms Stern said 바카라사이트 shift reflected ¡°widespread recognition that international students are great for 바카라사이트 UK ¨C for our universities; for our talent pool; for our international relationships and for economy of towns and cities in all parts of 바카라사이트 UK¡±.

¡°But I don¡¯t think we should be complacent,¡± Ms Stern added. ¡°We need to make sure we have eyes in 바카라사이트 back of our heads when it comes to any potential abuse of 바카라사이트 system, and work with Home Office to maintain confidence in 바카라사이트 system.¡±

Ms Braverman was replaced as home secretary by Grant Shapps, who is seen as being closer to 바카라사이트 centre of 바카라사이트 Conservative Party.

¡°The latest change of home secretary gives 바카라사이트 government 바카라사이트 opportunity to quietly drop 바카라사이트 damaging, rehashed proposals that Suella Braverman floated to reduce 바카라사이트 number of international student visas,¡± said Paul Blomfield, 바카라사이트 Labour MP for Sheffield Central who co-chairs 바카라사이트 All-Party Parliamentary Group on International Students.

¡°I hope this is 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 Tories hauling out 바카라사이트 distraction technique of targeting international students employed by Theresa May in times of trouble when she started as home secretary.

¡°It took several years of cross-party efforts to persuade 바카라사이트 government to undo 바카라사이트 damage, and I hope we won¡¯t be facing that again under our third home secretary this year.¡±

International students contribute nearly ?30 billion a year to 바카라사이트 UK economy, enrich its universities and ¡°bolster Britain¡¯s place in 바카라사이트 world¡±, he added.

¡°International students make an enormous contribution not just to campus life but socially and economically as well, and government policy should reflect that,¡± said Rachel Hewitt, chief executive of 바카라사이트 MillionPlus group of modern universities.

¡°We hope 바카라사이트 new home secretary will listen to 바카라사이트 sector and recognise 바카라사이트 important part that international students play across higher education and 바카라사이트 whole of 바카라사이트 country.¡±
