?? Centennial College Suspends 49 Programs Centennial College has announced the suspension of 49 programs ; nearly 28% of its offerings, in response to a sharp 43% drop in international student enrolments. This decline is linked to the federal government’s recent caps on study permits, aimed at addressing concerns over population growth and housing pressures. Programs in tourism, 3D animation, journalism, and more are being paused, with job losses for staff and faculty anticipated. Centennial is among several institutions, including Sheridan and Seneca, adjusting to these new realities in Canada’s higher education landscape. These policy shifts are raising critical questions about Canada’s position as a global hub for international students. What does this mean for the future of higher education and skilled workforce development in Canada? Let’s discuss.

What dystopian world do these people @Onward live in? Not mine, it's the stuff of highly satirical drama, absolutely bonkers. "The report by Conservative think tank,?Onward, proposed that only the best-performing universities should be allowed to issue student visas. Titled A?Conservative Economy,?the report went on to suggest the complete abolishment of graduate visas and only allowing the best-performing institutions to sponsor?visas for PhD students. Higher education funding should “focus much more on STEM, with support for purely academic subjects focused on high-quality institutions and provision”, outlined the report. It also stated that “lower-quality institutions should be repurposed to focus on vocational, technical and applied learning with appropriate public funding, such as through a lifetime learning allowance”.

The corporatization of universities has led to a concerning consequence: the highest concentration of international students globally negatively impacts Australia's higher education system. The alarming explosion in the number of international students has resulted in disastrous effects on pedagogical standards. This issue urgently demands attention and action to safeguard the quality of education. #Australia #Queensland #universities #professors #lecturers #NTEU #Corporatisation #Corporateuniversities #profitmaximisation #pedagogy #teaching #highereducation #universitymission #lost #profitorientation #export

Students in the U.S. under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) have the ability to transfer between ICE-certified schools at the same level or to different educational levels, allowing them to better pursue their academic goals. For instance, a student might move from a community college to a university for a higher degree or specialized program. This flexibility in transfers helps students customize their educational path to fit their needs and ambitions. It is crucial for students to follow ICE guidelines for a successful transfer. #SEVP #ICE ?? https://lnkd.in/df3mfbt8

"Centennial expects new international enrolments to drop by about 5,000 students, 43% in the current academic year alone." Canadian colleges experienced the most significant drop in approval. In the first ten months of 2024, fewer than 91,000 permits to study were approved for international students, compared to more than 210,000 in 2023. Unless there is a significant increase in approvals in November and December, the number of new international students at Canadian colleges will likely drop by 60% in 2024 (see the link in the comments with the data). https://lnkd.in/gF65UKeG

With the international education sector closely eyeing the impact of the UK’s new government, the recent statements by the new Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, point toward an important shift in the UK's higher education policy landscape. The Labour government's intention to maintain the graduate route visa and create a welcoming environment for international students is a promising sign. However, it’s crucial to remain engaged and proactive as these changes unfold. In our 2024 Trends Report, we highlighted how upcoming elections could influence student sentiment, and these recent developments underscore that prediction. ApplyBoard looks forward to collaborating with educational leaders and policymakers to navigate these changes and enhance opportunities for international students.
