https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zloYIENrCmE International students will no longer be able to bring dependants with them unless they are on postgraduate courses that are currently designated as research programmes. The package will also remove the ability for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed "to prevent misuse of the visa system", the government said. As well as removing this right, there will also be a review of the maintenance requirement for students and dependents and a crackdown on "unscrupulous" education agents "who make use of inappropriate applications to sell immigration, not education". The changes will come into effect for students starting their courses from January 2024 in order to allow future international students time to plan ahead. 'How many strikes before she is out?' - pressure mounts on PM to launch Braverman probe - politics latest In a written ministerial statement published today, Home Secretary Suella Braverman said recent immigration figures had shown an "unexpected rise" in the number of dependants coming to the UK alongside international students. Ms Braverman said the increase was made after the government made its commitment to lower net migration. The 2019, when net migration stood at 226,000, the Conservative manifesto committed to making sure "overall numbers come down". Ms Braverman said that while the government's strategy around international education "plays an important part in supporting the economy", it should "not be at the expense of our commitment to the public to lower overall migration". "This package strikes the right balance between acting decisively on tackling net migration and protecting the economic benefits that students can bring to the UK," she said. "Now is the time for us to make these changes to ensure an impact on net migration as soon as possible. We expect this package to have a tangible impact on net migration. Taken together with the easing of temporary factors, we expect net migration to fall to pre-pandemic levels in the medium term." Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said attracting top students "isn't just good for our universities - it's essential for our economy and building vital global relationships". "But the number of family members being brought to the UK by students has risen significantly," she added. "It is right we are taking action to reduce this number while maintaining commitment to our international education strategy, which continues to enrich the UK's education sector and make a significant contribution to the wider economy." The announcement comes as government comes under mounting pressure over migration figures - an issue that has reportedly caused splits in the cabinet. Official statistics due to be published later this week are expected to show that net migration has increased from 504,000 in the 12 months to June 2022 to more than 700,000 in the year to December. Ms Braverman recently made a speech at the National Conservatism conference in which she said the UK needed to "get overall immigration numbers down", adding: "We mustn't forget how to do things for ourselves."

Nice move UK. Now we focus on Norway. If you need to relocate to Norway via education route, contact me. You can move with your family. There are about 55 schools in Norway that lecture in English. And there is also a work permit of 2-3 years after graduation. 1 Like |

“THE STUDENT THING IS NOT REAL, THEY NEED THE DEGREE AS ACCESS TO COME INTO THE UK”- NIGERIANS DRAGGED UK-BASED NIGERIAN YOUTUBER FOR TELLING BBC (VIDEO, PICTURES) Emdee Tiamiyu, a Nigerian YouTuber based in the UK, who educates his fellow Nigerians on the process of relocating abroad, has recently faced criticism from Twitter users. These individuals have expressed concerns regarding his comments made to British authorities, suggesting that some Nigerians utilizing the student visa route to the UK may not genuinely intend to pursue education. Twitter users have raised objections to Emdee Tiamiyu’s alleged statement, which implies that a portion of Nigerians opting for the student visa route have ulterior motives beyond legitimate academic pursuits. Such commentary has sparked debate and garnered attention within the online community.
