Students Visa hosts ‘Educate to Elevate’ to highlight study-abroad opportunities
The Students Visa, a student migration consultancy hosted the ‘Educate to Elevate’ panel discussion at Hatch Works, Colombo. This was event aimed to shed light on the boundless educational opportunities available in the United Kingdom, a country renowned for its prestigious higher education system.
Sri Lanka is a significant market for UK higher education, particularly in the realm of transnational education. In recent years, Sri Lanka has recorded the third-highest number of students pursuing UK qualifications internationally. In 2022, only 23% of the 166,938 qualifying students gained admission to state universities creating a void for higher education.
As a result, around 29,000 students seek higher education abroad each year, with an additional 60,000 engaging in various academic programs.
The UK remains a highly desirable destination for international students, attracting about 460,000 new students annually.
The panel included Nitin Bhasson, Territory Manager, South Asia at the University of East London; Kranthi Reddy, Regional Manager at the University of Wolverhampton; Ayush Gupta, Country Manager, India & Sri Lanka at De Montfort University; Srishti Birla, Student Recruitment Officer at Birmingham City University; Abhishek Kumar, Country Head UK at Infinite Group; Thilina Rajapaksha, Senior Country Manager at Apply Board and Anoiline T. Thevaranjan, Senior International Recruitment Manager. The discussion was moderated by Raees Ul Haq, CEO and Founder of The Students Visa.
