Less Students Enrolling In UK Universities: There has been a decrease in the number of foreign students studying in British universities. This is increasing the financial crisis of some universities there. This time the number of visa applications has also decreased. According to media reports, the Home Office received 15 percent fewer visa applications in July, this decline has been going on since the beginning of the year and is still continuing. The previous government had made efforts to limit the number of visas, its effect is still visible.
what do the statistics say
Looking at the figures in this regard, it is known that there has been a 16 percent decrease in student visa applications coming between January and July end this year as compared to the year 2023. Some institutes have even made preparations that there may be up to a 50 percent decline in the number of students coming here for post graduation this year.
Dependence on foreign students too
A large number of foreign students took admission in UK universities in the year 2022 and 2023. Their number was expected to increase this year but it does not seem so. The recent increase in inflation there has made universities dependent on the revenue received from foreign students. These students pay a higher amount of tuition fees.
Many universities are in losses
According to some foreign media reports, many universities here are running in losses. Four out of the ten biggest universities in Yorkshire are facing financial crisis. To deal with this, some have limited the number of courses while some have laid off employees.
what is the reason
The previous government of Britain has made the visa rules strict. This has reduced the number of foreign students coming here. The number of students doing PG in Britain is the highest but they are facing problems due to strict immigration rules.
Rules were made to reduce the number
The UK government had made rules to reduce the number of outsiders in the country and had made the rules strict from visa to immigration. Not only this, the good labourers coming here were also forbidden from bringing their families or children with them. Due to all these reasons, fewer people are now coming here.
