UK study visa ban shatters dreams for students from conflict zones

Myanmar, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Cameroon citizens are now banned from getting UK university visas, as Britain cites a 500% surge in asylum applications from visiting students since 2021. This crushes hopes for many, like a woman from Myanmar who lost her shot at a master's in climate change finance, an Afghan social worker canceling plans to study abroad, and a man in Kabul accepted for water management studies-now all facing uncertain futures. Critics call the move 'exceptionally cruel and shortsighted,' cutting off a path to education and a chance to better their war-torn homelands. https://www.trtworld.com/article/74205b90b3be
