UK Government Report Identifies Benefits to the UK from Overseas Students
A new government-commissioned study has championed the cultural and diplomatic benefits to the UK of educating overseas students.
The Wider Benefits of Internationa...l Higher Education, published recently by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS research paper number 128) , surveyed 100 students who had returned to their home countries after graduating from a UK university.
The report says they left with “very positive” memories of their time in Britain and claims this had generated an “emotional bond” between them and the UK, “extending the UK’s power of soft diplomacy”.
The report concludes: “The trust created underpins support for the UK and its products, culture and language, resulting in brand loyalty for UK goods and travel to the UK for leisure, the promulgation of UK values during capacity building at home, and in the choice of UK partners when entering international business collaborations.”
It relates the story of one student, who studied for a PhD in economics at the University of Cambridge in the 1990s before working at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
He is now at director level in one of China’s national banks, and told interviewers that because of his education, the UK has “a friend down in China”.
“When I have a negotiation with Bank of England, I always go kind of emotionally bonded…when the Bank of England or other UK people visit me in my office or duty, I will [treat them] like family, quite like a kind of large family, like an old friend. Emotionally bonded,” he said.
The study recommends that the government better promotes the employment opportunities for international students in the UK after graduation.
However, it stops short of criticising the controversial changes to the student visa system introduced by the coalition – for example, the decision to roll out “credibility” interviews for visa applicants this year in order to weed out bogus students.
BQuSAMS (Student Attendance Management System) ensures that users can easily comply with their Tier 4 licence obligations in an efficient and cost effective manner.
A good Student Attendance Management System (SAMS) will produce accurate data to evidence the engagement and progress made by their students and enables cost effective reporting to their stakeholders.
A further benefit is that the systems real time reporting enables staff to easily identify students whose attendance and engagement is below expectation immediately. They can then make effective intervention to work with the student concerned and provide appropriate support and encouragement to get them back on track.
This has a profound positive affect on student retention, which greatly improves revenues with.
It also leads to improvements in the numbers of students completing and attaining their qualification, which enhances the reputation of the university.
The SAMS also enables colleges and universities to fulfil their requirements for Tier 4 licence compliance for tracking student’s attendance and study engagement and to be able to quickly provide evidence if required.
This can be an enormously time consuming, costly and inefficient process, which often fails to deliver the necessary information needed to comply.
