Cross-sector collaboration between students, institutions and the government is key to delivering high quality education and experiences But yet, for discussions happening at the national and international level, very few time do we actually see students being brought into rooms to be a contributing part of these discussions And I remember, someone asked me, why we would have students in policy making rooms especially when we are talking about students Well, in fact, in my opinion, the fact we are talking about students, it’s imperative to what their perspective and opinions because at the end of the day, policies impact people and understanding the people who it will impact most closely is key And I also believe that today the reason we see lack of awareness amongst students of some of these changes and what creates a scope for spread of mis-information is the fact that policymakers provide limited direct communication to international students about these new policies Without a strategic and continuous approach from the decision-makers themselves that clearly highlights how these changes support students’ long-term study goals, we expect demand for education in Canada will continue to decline into 2025 We talk about youth representation so much and are doing a good job of furthering it in spaces of environment and sustainability, at the United Nations but rarely are we seeing it in the Immigrant space especially for international students And not to say it’s a small demographic either, I.e., 1.5M since 2022 As an international student advocate, I look forward to seeing a change in the decision maker who sit at the table or rather addition of seats at the table in 2025 as we talk about well-being and development of international students Reach out at saraswat.ritika11@gmail.com to create and chat about opportunities #students #immigration #youth

🎓 International Student Policies in Canada: Two Voices, One Big Debate 🌍 When it comes to international student policies, Canada’s media is split: Mainstream Media? 📰 They focus on policy changes, economic impacts, and the usual "big picture" talk. Ethnic Media? 🎙️ They dive deep with personal stories, community challenges, and what’s happening behind the headlines. Want the full story? You need both. Let’s face it: international students are more than just statistics. They're real people with real stories—and we’re here to learn from them all.

OFF THE RECORD - STEM & NEW IMMIGRATION POLICIES 34% of STEM Master's degrees go to foreigners. 35% of STEM doctorates go to foreigners. 19% of the STEM workforce were born outside the United States. Yet, HHS has taken NIH and other institutions and ground them to a halt, with grants reviews also stopped. I wonder where all these new STEM people will come from in the United States because, thanks to Hollywood, STEM is not glamorized. This will greatly impact the economic engine of the United States with time. #STEM #STEAM #USPTO #Patent #ScienceEconomy Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERS EDUCATION FOUNDATION AAAS Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology https://lnkd.in/eJWvBxuc

'Not a back-door entry to citizenship' Marc Miller stresses importance of caps on international students Federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller stresses the necessity of capping international student enrollments to preserve education quality and reduce infrastructure strain. 1. Promoting a more diverse and talented student body. 2. Encouraging provinces to invest more in post-secondary education to offset the revenue loss from capped student enrollments. 3. Preventing the misuse of education as a backdoor entry to citizenship while maintaining system quality and integrity. 4. Addressing the historical volumes' impact on housing, healthcare, and education. 5. Exemptions: Masters and PhD students will not be affected by the cap. Provinces need to closely examine their finances and invest in education, ensuring sustainable university funding without over-reliance on international students. #newjainimmigrationservices #canada #canadaimmigration #caponstudent

Excited to share an insightful article by my friend and former doctoral classmate Samba Dieng on the critical topic of immigration and access in higher education. Dr. Dieng's thoughtful analysis sheds light on the barriers faced by international students and how U.S. institutions can respond. A must-read for anyone passionate about higher education leadership and student success. https://lnkd.in/gKbKJAs3
