UK: May plans to make all non-EU grads to return home
UK Home Secretary, Theresa May, made some pre-Christmas announcements that greatly worried the UK international education industry, unveiling plans to force all non-EU graduates to return home even if they intend to remain in the UK and switch to a work visa. May aims to drastically reduce foreign student migration, as there would be a requirement to apply for a new visa in a student’s home country, even if graduates were successful in securing a job in the window between ending their studies and officially graduating. Stakeholders in the education industry raise the opposed voice. They think the plans would undermine an £18 billion export industry and the country’s reputation abroad and “would turn academic administrators into border police, diverting precious resources away from the central purpose of academic institutions, which is to educate.”
