The UK government plans to introduce tougher rules for overseas students coming to Britain to study ¡°low quality¡± courses (¡°UK government to toughen student visa rules for ¡®low quality¡¯ courses¡±, 4 October). So these ¡°low quality¡± courses are fine for British and European students but not international students? Where is the protection for British and European students??

This is yet another ill-thought plan by Theresa May¡¯s government. What about students who have aspirations and a real hunger for education, but do not have the grades for one of the elite institutions? I used to be proud of the UK for being open to all student types, but feel now it is becoming an elite product for privately educated individuals. Where has May¡¯s perspective of wider society gone?
