Hey friends! Guess what? There’s some big news for students from around the world who are studying in the United States! 🌎🎓
A Judge Says “Students Can Stay!”
A judge in California has decided that international students can keep their legal status in the U.S. This means they don’t have to worry about new government rules that might have made them leave the country. Hooray! 🎉
What Was Happening?
The U.S. government was planning to change some rules. These changes could have affected thousands of students from other countries who are studying at U.S. universities, like Harvard. The government wanted information about student protests and activities, which some universities didn’t want to share.
Harvard Stands Up
Harvard University, a very famous school, said they wouldn’t give the government the information it was asking for. Because of this, the government said Harvard couldn’t accept new international students next year. But now, thanks to the judge’s decision, students are protected! 🙌
Help from Hong Kong Universities
While all this was happening, universities in Hong Kong offered to help. Schools like the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the University of Hong Kong (HKU) said international students are welcome to study with them! They are even making it easy to apply and offering lots of support. Isn’t that awesome? 🥳
Why Is This Important?
Many students travel far from home to learn new things and have great experiences. It’s important that they feel safe and welcomed. This news means that international students can continue their studies without worrying about suddenly having to leave.
Education brings people together, and that’s something we can all celebrate! 📚❤️
So, if you have friends from other countries at your school, give them a high-five! They’re an important part of our global community.
