U.S. officials are crazy about issuing student visas!
Recently, in an effort to reduce the large number of people coming from abroad and improve the overall quality of universities, Australia** has vetoed a record number of student visas.
The number of students who have been denied study in Australia has reached an all-time high, with 53,000 international students in Category 3 schools last year, and the number of such students has decreased by more than 60% after the implementation of the new immigration policy in early December last year
This is also the lowest point since 2005. Australia's education policy targets the Department of Employability Training, as well as some of the lower education colleges, namely ** colleges.
By the way, the Australian government has graded the schools that study abroad, the first level is dominated by the eight large universities in Australia, with a total of 121, and the second level has 1042 schools, including many TAFE colleges.
The school is made up of the Federal University of Ballarat and a number of private scientific and technical colleges. In response to this problem, some vocational colleges in Australia have carried out an unprecedented "** blackout" of all students studying overseas.
According to a report by Australia, two schools have suspended applications from students from India, Pakistan, Nigeria and other students who may have been rejected.
Imagine Education Australia, a specialist English language training provider in Australia, wrote to overseas ** agencies this month, saying that it would accept applications from Europe and 11 other countries in the future because there is no set speed and waiting time for processing.
The countries with the largest number of overseas students in Australia are India, China, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
What this means is that Imagine Education Australia has stopped accepting students from China and India, as well as other countries.
"It's a difficult choice, and we know that if there is no way to sell our programs to other schools, we will consider doing so, but doing so is also protecting all parties, including foreign students, from being denied visas," the letter said. ”
Kaplan Business College has also been in contact with the authorities, who say they have stopped studying abroad in Pakistan and Nigeria because none of them meet the conditions for obtaining student visas.
KBS added: "Other Australian universities are doing the same. ”
According to some study agents, the Australian authorities have taken a radical approach to assessing student visas, which has caused fear among universities and other schools.
Although the refusal is mainly for vocational colleges and second- and third-tier universities, some well-known universities such as Australian National University, Sydney and other famous universities have said that their international students have also encountered the problem of visa extension.
So, not so long ago, Australia's top universities agreed, and now they are gradually gaining an opinion.
Brenton Lutewich, Australia's national college director for admissions, recently said he feared international students would be seen as a target. Many real foreign students fail to get their visas on time and are therefore unable to attend the orientation. He also questioned the staffing of the Department of Home Affairs.
He wrote on his LinkedIn blog this week: As some commentators have said, does the United States secretly implement an immigration quota system?
This is a question that only Rio Tinto can answer. However, you can imagine what to do when ** suddenly informed Rio Tinto that their 3 iron ore freighters anchored at Gladstone Port could not be loaded with cargo?
In that case, it will definitely cause an uproar!
At present, there is more opposition from all of our units and at all levels. However, as we approached, my daily worries and concerns grew, and the various criticisms and criticisms of foreign students made it even worse.
In this regard, Tim Field, the director of international affairs at the University of Sydney, also said that many students at Sid's University are also uneasy because of the visa delay.
"In order to curb illegal universities and illegal institutions, and reduce fraud and exploitation in universities, but this can only have a big impact on real children who see Australia as their future study goals," Field said.
David Harrison, the director of Macquarie International College, also said: "In this way, real foreign students will be marked with a big black spot. ”
Vicky Thompson, president of the Association of Eight Australian Schools, said: Australia's top universities have begun to worry about significant delays in processing student visas. We have referred this issue to the ** department and are currently working with them to find a solution.
In addition to the Big Eight, 16 other universities, such as Victoria, Federal University, Western Sydney, Wollongong, etc., have also warned the Commonwealth** that delays and delays in the visa process will incur more than $300 million in financial costs to the universities.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Claire O'Neill (Clareo'Neil commented last week: "We are clear that we need to return the population to pre-flu norms, and that it is essential to properly verify the authenticity of student visas. "Change is hard, and we will work with schools to get them used to this new system.
O'Neill said: In order to improve the quality of students and prevent them from earning more through academic qualifications, the United States federal ** has announced a new set of measures, including stricter rules on English tests and financial conditions, and a million dollars in fines for those training providers who cheat.
When asked if the United States would control the number of students, O'Neill did not leave the question behind.
"I'm confident in what we're doing now because our initiatives are executing quickly and we've seen problems early on," she said. "A directive that O'Neill sent to ministry staff in December last year was to prioritize visa applications in the least dangerous places.
R**i Singh, Director of Global School, said: "Because of Australia's visa system in the United States, students see it as a place to learn. "This time, not only did they have to lose a sum of money, but they also had to lose a whole year.
