MATT GOODWIN: How the Graduate Visa Scheme is Destroying the UK Economy

Описание: In this clip from BBC Politics Live, I explore the broken state of the UK's university funding model and the flawed graduate visa scheme. Universities are increasingly reliant on international students to plug financial gaps, but this approach is unsustainable and damaging to our economy. Many of these international students, often from non-elite institutions, end up in low-wage, low-skill jobs, contributing less to the economy than expected.

The current system has turned into a Ponzi scheme, with an endless influx of students from countries like Nigeria, India, and Pakistan. This influx is not benefiting the UK, as these students frequently stay beyond their intended period, bringing relatives and adding pressure to our already strained resources. Our GDP per head remains weak because we're not focusing on high-skilled, high-wage jobs.
