Nigerian Students In UK, Others Risk Deportation by aljazirahnews: 8:51pm On Jan 25, 2023 |
Nigerians and other immigrant students in the United Kingdom currently face a high-risk of deportation after completion of their studies following a row between UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and the Department of Education. According to The Daily Mail, Braverman is currently seeking to cut down the amount of time foreign students can stay in the UK after graduation. Legitnaija reports that currently, immigrants who travel to Britain to study can stay behind two years after graduation. But the Department for Education is said to be resisting Braverman’s plan to cut that to just six months, after which they have to have a skilled job that makes them eligible for a work visa or leave the UK. The Daily Mail further stated that the development is the latest twist in a long-running row over foreign student numbers. “Braverman has committed to cut immigration and ‘substantially reduce’ the number of unskilled foreign workers coming to Britain, from 239,000 to the ‘tens of thousands’. “As part of that, she wants to reduce the number of international students who can apply for a graduate post-study work visa, which allows any student who has passed their degree to remain and work in the UK for at least two years. “But education officials fear this will make the UK less attractive to foreign students, who pay far more than UK students for their courses and are a major source of income for universities”, the media house stated.

I've always thought this. The UK is relaxing immigration rules for study so as o attract foreigners. It boosts their economy too, and they get to pick many good brains. 1 Like |

Legitnaija reports that currently, immigrants who travel to Britain to study can stay behind two years after graduation. Interesting times… It seems they have met their deposit target from immigrants. |
