British business schools are losing students
The Association of British Business Schools has published the totals of all admissions offices. The results show that the number of non-EU students has decreased by an average of 9% compared to last year.
Foreign guests are forced to collect documents due to strict visa policy in England, the report says.
A third of the UK's international students are business school students. Their contribution to universities and the country's economy is truly tangible, about £ 2.4 billion annually.However, over the past year, the inflow of investments decreased by 8.6%.
The Business School Association claims the mini-collapse resulted in £ 133.5 million in losses. “This creates additional risks, sinceincome from business education is often subsidized by other faculties as well. The 2011 visa policy is a real stick in the wheels for students who, for obvious reasons, want to get a work permit after graduation. "
“The probability that you will be refused a work visa is close to the maximum 10%. That cannot but scare those wishing to stay in the country, and those who are just planning to enter, ”- quoted from the ABN report.
"If we compare the loyal strategy towards foreigners in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, then British laws present our state in a not very favorable light."
A public relations specialist at a business school noted that "the education brand in the country already seems racist. "The director of the same institution warned the reformers that "they do not live on another planet at all" in order to invent such a thing with foreigners.
Simon Collinson, head of ABN and dean of the business school University of Birmingham, notedthat “the report clearly demonstrates all the precariousness of the position of business education and those universities that rely onsimilar income. "
“In the 2014-15 academic year, we experienced the sharpest decline in the number of applicants. Despite this, our business schools are still among the best in the world.The only reason why we are not chosen is the unattractive laws for the guests of the country. International entrepreneurs and professionals are the leaders of the future.And the legislators "at the top" must figure out how to take advantage of this now. Our economy will only add if we loosen the grip of the foreign exchange rate."
