Uingereza imetangaza visa vya kazi kwa wahitimu kutoka vyuo vikuu bora zaidi duniani katika upanuzi wa mfumo wake wa uhamiaji, ambao umeundwa kuvutia wafanyakazi lakini hakuna vyuo vikuu vya Kiafrika vilivyojumuishwa katika orodha ya taasisi zinazostahiki.
Chini ya mpango uliotangazwa Mei 30, wahitimu walio na shahada ya kwanza au shahada ya uzamili kutoka vyuo vikuu 50 bora nje ya nchi wanaweza kutuma maombi ya viza ya kazi ya miaka miwili na wataruhusiwa kuleta wanafamilia pamoja nao.Waombaji watakaofanikiwa wataweza kubadili visa vya ajira za muda mrefu
Orodha hiyo inajumuisha zaidi ya vyuo vikuu 24 vya Marekani, pamoja na taasisi za Kanada, Japani, Ujerumani, Uchina, Singapore, Ufaransa na Uswidi. Hakuna chuo kikuu cha Kiafrika kilicho kwenye orodha ya hivi karibuni ya wanaostahiki, wala kwenye orodha za miaka iliyopita.

Britain will offer work visas to graduates from the world's best universities in an expansion of its post-Brexit immigration system that is designed to attract the "best and brightest" workers. But no African universities are included in the list of eligible institutions.
Under the scheme announced on Monday, graduates with a bachelor's or master's degree from the top 50 universities abroad can apply for a two-year work visa and will be allowed to bring family members with them. Those who receive doctorates can apply for a three-year visa.
Successful applicants will then be able to switch to longer-term employment visas, the government said.
Eligible universities must appear in the top 50 rankings of at least two of the following: the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the Academic Ranking of World Universities and the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings. Those rankings must be for the year of the applicant's graduation, which must be within the past five years.
The most recent list of eligible universities from 2021, published online by the UK government, comprises more than two dozen US universities, as well as institutions in Canada, Japan, Germany, China, Singapore, France and Sweden. No African university is on the latest eligibility list, nor on lists for previous years.
The decision to exclude graduates from African universities has been criticized.
"To exclude an entire continent brimming over with the enormous creative and intellectual energies of its youth on the basis of its absence from arbitrary, culturally biased, abuse-prone university rankings is shortsighted....Several unranked African universities have produced, and continue to produce, some of the brightest minds in the world." said Professor Farooq Kperogi of the Kennesaw State University, Georgia.
"University rankings are a Euro-American obsession. They are no more than perceptions of institutional prestige and name recognition...which do not necessarily reflect quality," Kperogi added.
"It is unfortunate that African graduates are being excluded," said Dr. Owoyemi Elegbeleye of Nigeria's University of Lagos. "The UK government should consider a spread in this policy so that Africans can benefit. They can spread the eligibility list to the top 300," he told CNN.
Irina Filatova, an emeritus professor of the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, remarked that the ranking system was "skewed in favor of English language and technological universities
