FOREIGN STUDENTS, THE PRIDE OF UK
Indian students don’t just come to study abroad for a degree. They break generational curses to travel all the way to the UK, many take hefty education loans, sell jewellery, put homes on collaterals and work hard to make up for the EMIs and send some money back home for their families. Cutting down immigration and making rules to stop their dependents from coming with them to the UK is almost inhuman. Maybe the policymakers are not sensitive enough to understand that these students may not have anyone else to take care of their parents, sibling or sole surviving family member. It’s like asking to give up a lifelong bond in order to get a foreign degree that may not even guarantee a job or post-study work opportunities.
