Board. Hello, im rajini vaidyanathan. Spoke to weeks ago when she spoke to that hearing. Universities in england say Tuition Fees need to be increased in line with inflation to help prevent them from sliding into decline, and are calling for more government support. But students say they are already paying too much. Universities have recruited more international students who Pay Higherfees in recent years, to make up for the fall in income due to frozen fees for Uk Students. There has been a decrease in international students aplying for Uk Student visas for this academic year. Changes to Visa Rules and a Currency Crash in nigeria mean the applications for Uk Study visas between january and august were about 17 fewer than during the same period last year.

As a default setting. Social media companies have been under growing pressure to protect children from harmful online content. Heres our Technology Editor zoe kleinman. Instagram already claims to have more than 50 tools aimed at keeping teens safe on its platform. But so far, the problem of children being exposed to harmful content has not been resolved. Well, i dont know if its social media, but i think as parents we should have the right to see it. An Ofcom Study earlier this year found that every single child it spoke to had seen violent material online. Instagram was one of the platforms they mentioned the most. The new measures aim put more control into the hands of parents. Accou nts accounts belonging to anyone under the age of 18 are made private by default. Now, if someone under 16 wants to make an account public, they have to add a parent to approve it, and that perak will be able to see who they message which topics they follow. Notifications will be muted overnight, and yo
