My daily selection of the most interesting news on the internets:
- The Hindu: Why the U.S. is the most favoured destination – Though there is great mobility of international students around the globe, most of them favour certain countries, the most favoured among them being the United States. The United Kingdom, Germany, and France come next, usually in that order. Nearly one-fourth of the international students go to the U.S. There are several reasons for this popularity.
- Report Urges Fewer Restrictions on Skilled Immigrants to U.S. : ScienceInsider – An expert panel convened by the Council on Foreign Relations has recommended increasing the number of foreign students and skilled workers allowed to enter the United States as part of a comprehensive reform of U.S. immigration policy. "It makes no sense to restrict the immigration of those skilled workers who are highly sought after by many countries, and who would bring the greatest economic benefits to the United States," states the report, issued yesterday, which asserts that the country "is badly mishandling its immigration policy, with serious consequences for its standing in the world."
- Universities swamped by surge of applicants – The number of applicants to UK universities has leapt almost 10 per cent, boosted by a sharp increase in older people seeking to ride out a difficult labour market.
