Report slams north for ‘trapping’ university students, who enrol

Asian and African international students are falling prey to the ‘north Cyprus trap’, encountering several abuses the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

According to FT, in recent years there has been a surge in new projects in the north, with the region now hosting 23 universities, with several more under construction. Most of them are privately owned.

Analysts told the newspaper that the sector is the main engine of the small Turkish Cypriot economy, although there is no official GDP data.
