UK Home Secretary Theresa May is reportedly drafting a new legislation to restrict foreign students from staying in the UK after completion of their courses. Currently, UK allows foreign students from outside the European Union to stay for a specific period and apply for jobs there.
If reports are to be believed, foreign graduates will have to leave UK and apply for a fresh visa from their home country. Higher education institutions who sponsor these students for education will be responsible for sending them back as well.
Institutions that fail to send students home at the end of their courses will be fined by the government. And if an institution is found to be a frequent offender to the proposed legislation, then it could even lose the right to sponsor students.
El Independiente citó a una fuente cercana al Ministro del Interior diciendo:
"Asegurarse de que los inmigrantes abandonen Gran Bretaña al finalizar su visa es una parte tan importante del funcionamiento de un sistema de inmigración justo y eficiente como controlar quién viene aquí en primer lugar".
La legislación propuesta contradice los anuncios hechos por Vince Cable durante su visita a la India: Encuentra trabajo y quédate en el Reino Unido. Por eso es importante ver cómo el Reino Unido presenta la nueva ley sin obstaculizar el interés de los estudiantes extranjeros que contribuyen significativamente a su economía.
