I-UK itshintsha inkqubo yesicelo se-visa, iziphumo kubafundi bolwimi nakubafundi

UTimothy Hughes, iGosa lokuVula ukuNgena kwi-Embassy yaseBritane eMoscow, wenze intetho egameni le-UK Border Agency ( UKBA ) ukubhengeza utshintsho olutsha lwe-visa kwi- ICEF Moscow Workshop yakutshanje , apho amakhulu ootitshala abavela kumazwe angama-30 kwihlabathi liphela badibana neearhente zokuqesha abafundi ezisemgangathweni ezivela eRashiya, eMpuma Yurophu, e-Asia Ephakathi naseCaucasus.

Inkqubo yase-UK esekwe kwiNgcamango (i-PBS) ifuna abantu bafumane amanqaku angama-40 ukuze bafanelekele i-visa yabafundi be-Tier 4. Abafundi kufuneka babonise isiQinisekiso soKwamkelwa kweZifundo esisemthethweni esivela kumxhasi we-Tier 4 kwaye kufuneka babonise ukuba banemali eyaneleyo yokugubungela iifizi zezifundo kunye neendleko zokuphila zenyanga ngelixa befunda.

UHughes wabelane ngemvelaphi ethile ngee-visa zabafundi abatyelela ilizwe waza wachaza izicwangciso zonyaka ozayo. Uchaza ngakumbi kudliwanondlebe olukwividiyo apha ngezantsi.

Njengoko izimvo zikaHughes zibonisa, utshintsho olwahlukeneyo kwinkqubo yesicelo se-visa luya kuqaliswa ukususela nge-6 ka-Epreli 2012. Umahluko omkhulu kukuba i-UKBA ngoku inokuvavanya izicelo ze-visa ukuya kuthi ga kwiinyanga ezintandathu ngaphambi komhla wohambo, nto leyo enika ukuguquguquka ngakumbi kwiiarhente nakubafundi.

Ezinye iinguqu eziphawulekayo eziqale ukusebenza ukususela nge-6 ka-Epreli 2012:

• Imirhumo yesicelo seVisa ukuya phezulu.
• Ngoku kuza kubakho imida yexesha lezifundo zesidanga e-UK, kuquka umda wexesha eliphezulu leminyaka emihlanu yokufunda kwinqanaba le-bachelor kunye ne-masters. (Qaphela ukuba kuya kubakho iimeko ezingaqhelekanga kwabo bagqibezela i-PhD kunye neenkqubo ezithile ezinde zokufunda.)
• Ixesha eliphezulu lokufumana imisebenzi ngoku liza kulinganiselwa kwisithathu sexesha lezifundo ezingaphandle kweeyunivesithi. Ixesha eliphezulu lokusebenza kwabo bafunda kwiiyunivesithi liza kuhlala lisiqingatha sexesha lezifundo.
• Amaziko angahlangabezani neemfuno ezintsha ezinzima zase-UK zabaxhasi be-visa ye-Tier 4, kodwa afake izicelo kwaye alinde ukuhlolwa, anokukwazi ukuxhasa inani eliqingqiweyo labafundi bamazwe ngamazwe okwangoku. Lo mda wexeshana uza kwandiswa ukuze ugqume ixesha lotshintsho oluya kuthi ga ekupheleni kuka-2012, apho bonke ababoneleli ngeenkonzo baya kube behloliwe.

UHughes uqikelela imfuno efanelekileyo yee-visa, ingakumbi xa kulungiselelwa iiOlimpiki, kwaye ugxininisa umnqweno omkhulu ovela kwimarike yaseRashiya wokuza e-UK ukukhawulezisa inkqubo yokufunda ulwimi. “Kubekho imfuno enkulu nomdla ovela kumaRashiya ekufundeni ulwimi lwesiNgesi,” uphawula uHughes. Kunyaka ophelileyo bafumene izicelo ze-visa eziyi-177,000 ezivela kumaRashiya zokuza e-UK, nto leyo ebonakalise inani elikhulu lezicelo zaseRashiya ezakha zabonwa.

Izibhengezo zakutshanje ze-UKBA zenzeka emva kwengxelo ebaluleke kakhulu evela kwi-Ofisi yoHlolo-zincwadi yeSizwe yase-UK (i-NAO) malunga nokuphunyezwa kwenkqubo esekelwe kwi-Tier 4 points ngo-2009 ngabafundi abavela ngaphandle kwe-European Economic Area. Ingxelo ye-NAO yayigxeka kakhulu ukunyanzeliswa kwe-UKBA kwemithetho emitsha yee-visa ngokubhekiselele kubafundi abangena e-UK ngee-visa ze-Tier 4 ukuze basebenze endaweni yokufunda kwaye ngokubhekiselele kwiimeko apho abafundi bahlala ixesha elide kunexesha lee-visa zabo zase-UK.

Inqaku elinxulumene nalo elikwiThe Chronicle of Higher Education lishwankathela ingxoxo evela kwingxelo ye-NAO ngolu hlobo lulandelayo.

Urhulumente waseBritane uxoxa ngemizamo emitsha yokuthintela ukufuduka, iiyunivesithi ziphakamisa inkxalabo malunga nemiphumo kubafundi bamanye amazwe kunye nabafundi. Ngokuphathelele ingxelo entsha, umphathi oyintloko weYunivesithi yase-UK, emele iisekela-tshansela zeeyunivesithi, uthe kwingxelo yakhe ukuba 'ukusetyenziswa gwenxa kwee-visa ngokunxulumene neeyunivesithi zase-UK kuphantsi kakhulu xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iindawo zecandelo lemfundo,' wongeza ngelithi ngokhuphiswano olukhulu lwehlabathi lwabafundi bamazwe ngamazwe, iBritane kufuneka 'iqinisekise ukuba inkxalabo efanelekileyo malunga nokufuduka ayipheleli ibangela umonakalo ongenakuphikiswa kwimveliso ethunyelwa ngaphandle yaseBritane ephumelele kakhulu.'
