hustla:The policing of grades some schools do it. Not easy unlike before to be scoring anyhow. When i heard What some schools score people. In my school who born u? To the extent that two departments in different schools or faculties as we call it in Nigeria took the case to the student union. I won't mention the school but out of 86 students or so I heard only 7 graduated in a particular course. Many were asked to withdraw. |

Poanan: It makes 0 sense As long as the student passes and has not done any malpractice, and has not defaulted with attendance or fees, it should not be the business of the school or home office Na them know sha ![]() |

hustla: No. It makes sense. First, it's in the country's overall interests to ensure people do well in their universities because graduate outcomes affect the ranking of the universities which in turn affects the reputation of the general education sector and thereby impacts the economy and other aspects as well. Also, from an immigration perspective, it makes sense for the country to want to ensure that only 'high quality' graduates are retained in the economy so they can get a better ROI from each person who's let in as they'll be better educated and can thereby contribute more via work, innovation etc etc. Cynical? Yes, but logical. In addition, it makes sense for the students because it'll discourage some unis that are essentially degree farms where there's little concern about how students perform as long as they come pay the fees. Some of those unis are really only selling CAS, in my opinion, but that's a topic for another day. It shouldn't be a problem for most though - after all it has been agreed that Nigeria is sending its 'best and brightest'. I'm sure they'll all make distinctions and graduate in flying colours, policy or no policy. Abi? 2 Likes |

Goodenoch: I'm convinced if they ask some people to sacrifice their siblings to the UK government so they can continue to lick home office's behind, they will willingly do it So, if I had some mental health breakdown during my course, or life happened and I didn't graduate with good grades, make them fling me away abi? After paying nearly x3 what home students pay with 0 student loans or support from the same government.. Abi? I hope its sarcasm sha but just Continue ![]() 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goodenoch: 5:45pm On Dec 14, 2023 |
hustla: Exceptions don't invalidate general rules. By this your logic universities should not award grades because it's possible some of the students doing badly have mental breakdowns. Same thing at work - no performance reviews because mental breakdown. Does that make sense to you? More to the point, it's clear that the policy is just in idea stage and hasn't been fleshed out yet. I know that in the current dispensation people have the opportunity to appeal every decision both at the uni level and also when it comes to dealing with the Home Office, showing mitigating circumstances etc., so I'd expect similar provisions here. 3 Likes |

ehizario2012:This UK! But i wont mention the school. Although truth be told some students have theirs. Thay same school another course they were given assignment in a quantitative course and the lecturer was able to establish "collabo" I don't know how the lecturer came about it but someone affected told me she copied but that it is a quantitative course and answers are supposed to be same. Lecturer carried about 40 students to the panel. She was able to prove cases of malpractice and it was agreed that the students should resit. The lecturer was not impressed with the judgement she felt the judgement was not enough for the offence but there was nothing she could do. During the resit theu found another "collabo"" in about 20 students. The lecturer didnt bother to carry them to the panel the lecturer failed all of them. None of the students took the matter up either with the student support or student union. That is why i said "some students have theirs" |

I will rather get paid by Uphold and wait for whatever happens in the future (eg tax 😂) than UK P2P. I no fit risk my future for UK or any other country I move to.

We discussed PSW visa in Australia and how generous it was sometime this week. Bombshell by the Home Affairs minister today - they're looking to cap the age of PSW applicants to 35 years and reducing all PSW to max 3 years ! They only changed it to max 6 years in July this year so they're making a u turn less than 6 months later and when people would have applied based on the July announcements. It's shocking considering that the PR and work visa pathways for offshore and onshore applicants have an age cap of 45 years and . https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-15/graduate-work-visa-age-limit-change/103224544 They want to implement the change from early 2024 and announced it today so very little notice has been given plus the next academic year starts in late January! 5 Likes |

Ticha: Thanks for the update Ticha, our senior South Pacific correspondent ☺️ It sounds like western countries have come to recognise that the student route is increasingly being used by certain countries as a means to immigrate and they are clamping down. So I guess it's not just UK universities that will "suffer". And this is a supposedly pro-migration, liberal Labour Australian govt but I'm not too surprised, I've always known Australia to have a volatile and strict immigration policy that it changes as and when to suit its interests. They were the originators of a Rwandan style agreement for offshoring asylum seekers, in fact the UK is a novice next to their playbook. 1 Like |
