After Canada, now anti-India activities have started in another western country, conspiracy against Indians exposed
After Canada, now the process of stopping Indians has started in another western country Britain. A new report on the stability of the higher education sector in England has revealed that Indian students are being prevented from applying to UK universities. At a time when education institutions are already facing limited budgets, this has increased the financial crisis of the universities. The ‘Office for Students’ analysis released on Friday shows that the number of Indian students has declined by 20.4 percent and now the number of Indian students has come down from 1,39,914 to 1,11,329.
Decline in visa applications of Indians
Indian student groups in Britain said that the decline was to be expected amid limited job prospects and security concerns after recent anti-immigration riots in some cities. The report of the ‘Office for Students’, a non-departmental public body of the government’s education department, said, ‘There has been a significant decline in student visa applications of prospective non-British students in some major countries.’
“This figure represents an 11.8 per cent decline in the total number of sponsor approvals issued to international students, with considerable variation across students of different nationalities. The largest declines were recorded in the number of CAs issued to Indian and Nigerian students, falling to 28,585 (20.4 per cent) and 25,897 (44.6 per cent) respectively,” it said.
Universities may be affected
It warned that this decline could have a significant impact on universities with financial models that are heavily dependent on students from countries such as India, Nigeria and Bangladesh. It warned, ‘The number of international students sending large numbers to study in the UK from some countries has decreased significantly.’ The Indian National Students Association (INSA) UK said that it was not surprised by the significant decrease in the number of students from India, given the government’s ban on allowing foreign students to bring their dependent partners and spouses with them.
