According to the recent report of the Migration Advisory Committee, retaining the post-study visa for international students in the UK is important. The report showed that 114,000 graduate-route visas were granted for international students and another 30,000 for their dependents. The graduate-route visa is highly attractive to potential students; thus, scrapping it could jeopardize STEM subjects and lead to course closures due to reduced income from international student fees. Furthermore, the report shared that there's no widespread evidence of visa abuse. Should the government follow this advice to maintain the UK's appeal to international students?

In our last completed #MSMPoll, we asked you to weigh in on how higher education institutions can best support international students. The results were eye-opening and highlighted a balanced demand for financial and professional development support. The question was: How can higher education institutions better support international students? And the results are: More Scholarships & Aid - 46% Extensive Orientation Programs - 6% Mental Health Services - 2% Career Development Opportunities - 46% It's clear from your responses that FINANCIAL ACCESSIBILITY and CAREER READINESS stand out as crucial areas. These results, which both received 46% of the votes, highlight the dual challenge that international students face in managing the costs of higher education and securing lucrative career opportunities after graduation. The lower emphasis on ORIENTATION and MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES could suggest that while these areas are important, the immediate practical needs of managing finances and career planning are top priorities for students and the institutions that serve them. These insights challenge educational leaders to think strategically about resource allocation, ensuring that scholarship programs and career development initiatives are robust and responsive to student needs. As we continue to navigate a changing educational landscape, the focus must be on empowering students academically, financially, and professionally. Let's keep the conversation going. How can we further evolve our support strategies to meet the diverse needs of our international student body? #HigherEducation #InternationalStudents #StudentSupport #CareerDevelopment
