You will colonize my country, plunder it and use its resources to fuel your own growth. Completely destroy it and then a hundred years down the line, you will offer us "free education" named after a colonizer as a gesture of goodwill.

After we write our traumas for your pleasure

The Rhodes scholarship is the best example of this, Cecil Rhodes was a racist imperialist who advocate settler colonialism and plundered diamonds. Now his estate pays students to attend Oxford; a university that refuses to take down his statue

2/

It isn't just the scholarships, the fee difference between EU students and non-EU students is staggering. A non-EU student has to pay a considerably more amount than a EU student.

This isn't limited to UK only, you can find this in Australia and US as well.

3/

Some universities have astronomical application fees, forcing a student to limit the number of schools they apply to

Then the language tests that expire every few years. All my life I have spoken the colonizers language, I can speak it better than my own but need to prove it

4/

Then the standardized testing which is another money making scam. They test your ability to take the particular exam and nothing more. It won't tell a university if you will be a good student or not, just another form of academic gatekeeping

5/

All these universities have billions of dollars of endowments but they will make sure they make it as difficult as possible for one to attend. It isn't people from the "developing countries" but also the marginalized people within their countries that are impacted by this
