Should the number of foreign students be reduced in UK?’ Need your opinion?

The eight-week UK Home office national consultation on reform of the student route to the UK, which closed on 31 January, saw proposals being made to reduce the number of people coming to the UK to study at below degree level; proposals were already made to remove the post study work permit visas after studies in UK; and introducing a tougher English language requirement. 

Soon after the consultations, Immigration Minister Damian Green reiterated the Government's plans to review student visas in a speech to the think tank Reform.

But Green’s assertion was met by voices in favour of the foreign students. Some people reacted by saying the USA is welcoming foreign students and allowing work opportunities. Why can’t the UK? they questioned.
 
Some others were of the view that inability of the UK local graduates to compete against foreign students educated under the same system was an indicator of flaws in the British students and not the foreign ones.


And others said, David Cameron was worrying that most of the UK jobs are going to foreigners rather than UK residents, but this clearly understands the laziness of UK residents and their skills are not highly compete against foreign workers. In addition International students annually contribute over £5.3bn to UK economy.


Though the public consultations have drawn to a close, Foreigners in UK is seeking your opinion on the issue . SO PLEASE LEAVE YOUR VALUABLE COMMENTS BELOW by selecting openID or Name/url.
