    I mean they are people who were approved for studying in Ukraine. It’s not like things are calming down in Ukraine any time soon so makes sense they’d be looking to go home? Maybe I misunderstood the situation.

      Why not simply let them continue their studies in Europe. An unfinished degree is completely useless.

        I guess they could apply for that. But it’s not like EU owes them a degree or something before sending them home. It’s a shitty situation for them for sure.

          The problem is that at least from what I know, they can not apply for that. EU countries don’t let people from most African countries study in the EU, there are wide blank bans in place.

            I mean if they’re not eligible for any student programs in the EU then they’ll probably have to go home.

              Yes. It just feels wrong that we allow ukrainian students of ukrainian universities to stay, but gave all other students of Ukrainian universities a random time period and they cant finish their studies.

                  Again: all of them are studying at Ukrainian universities. All of them could go to Ukraine and finish the studies there. Or finish their studies in Europe.

                  The EU makes the distinctive choice to let certain students stay and not let other students stay.

                    Ukraine is at war, obviously we’re not sending students back to a country that’s at war. Nigeria isn’t at war. Their students can go back to Nigeria just fine, even if sucks to do so without the promised degree.

                    The EU makes the distinctive choice to let certain students stay and not let other students stay.

                    Well of course it does and it’s very sensible to do so.

      How about they contribute studying in Europe? It’s not like we don’t need skilled workers over here…
