US's No Student Visa Policy Amid Nigeria’s Careless Approach To Education, By Olabisi Deji-Folutile - Premium Times Opinion

I may not know the number of Nigerians that would be affected by the U.S.’s latest decision not to issue visas to international students whose universities have moved their classes online, but the figure is likely to be substantial. Going by the information credited to Morgan State University on the official website of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund ,

It said, “The U.S. Department of State no longer issues visas to students enrolled in schools or programs that are fully online for the fall semester nor will U.S. Customs and Border Protection permit such students to enter the United States. Active students who are currently in the United States and enrolled in such programs must leave the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction to remain in lawful status.

I prefer, for instance, what a university like Cambridge has done. It said that the university will do online classes for the 2020/2021 academic session. But the university pre-warned its intending students to manage their expectations as they would not be having that campus experience, which many of them must have craved for. That’s fair enough.
