Richa Dwivedi Saklani has a clear expectation from the new US administration. The new government in the US must give a clear message that it welcomes international students and professionals,” said Saklani, head of study abroad consulting firm Inomi Learning in Gurugram. The cumulative number of enrolled international students was 872,214 against 891,330 in 2017-18 and 903,127 in 2016-17, according to official data of the US. Experts said the US cannot afford to ignore international students and more so at a time that its universities are struggling because of closures following the coronavirus outbreak. Top universities, including Ivy Leagues, are well placed, but tier two and tier three universities need foreign students for their growth and to offer subsidized education to American domestic students.
