England and Wales shine in the World Cup, England successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, but Wales regretted not to stop in the group stage, but they are also fighting for the UK. Why do there be two national teams in the UK? Because the UK itself is a Commonwealth composed of four countries, namely Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland .
England and Wales in the UK were very popular in the World Cup, and British immigration also became a big hit.
net immigration numbers hit a new high
Just recently, the latest data from the UK's National Office for Statistics showed that as of June this year, the number of net immigration in the UK reached 50.4w. Still subtracted the population of 56w immigrants leaving the UK.
As of June this year, a total of 27.7w international students from non-EU countries came to study in the UK, while last year, the number was only 14.3w.
Ready to limit the number of international students?
Faced with rising immigration data, the UK's " Times " hyped the news on the front page that "foreign college students will face a university ban" .
International students will be restricted from entering the UK, unless they have obtained the offer of prestigious schools.
The government also intends to to ban foreign students from coming to the UK to study "low-quality degree" , and for minors, new restrictions may be implemented on students with family members?
Opposition from the upper and lower
Faced with the above public opinion trends, university institutions have expressed that any plan to curb immigration by cracking down on foreign students is "economic self-harm" .
, a group of 24 universities in the UK, said 's proposal to restrict international students would damage the economy and the reputation of the UK.
Director of the Institute of Higher Education Nick Hillman commented in " Times Higher Education ": "For universities around the UK, it is hard to imagine a worse or more inappropriate plan than this."
Do international students need to worry?
The main purpose of the UK is to reduce the number of immigrants, and international students are not the main force of immigrants, so for various opposition news, 's plan for international students will not implement .
In addition, the British universities we Teng Tetsu cooperate with are also famous universities in the UK, so the restrictions on "low-quality degrees" will not affect us.
