British media said on November 26 that the British Prime Minister's Office stated that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is considering restricting foreign students from studying in the UK to study "low-quality" courses and bringing their families to settle in the UK.
According to reports, the government intends to reduce the number of immigrants by raising the threshold for studying abroad.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) stated on November 26 that the British Prime Minister's Office refused to say what they defined "low-quality" courses, and refused to disclose any policy decisions in advance.
"The Times" (The Times) previously pointed out on the 25th that according to the plan being considered by the government, foreign students who want to study in the UK must first be admitted to top universities in the UK, otherwise they may not be able to obtain a study visa.
The report did not identify which are the "top universities".
The BBC stated on November 26 that the spokesman of Xin Weicheng pointed out that after the data showed that the number of net immigrants in the UK rose to a record-breaking 500,000, the government was considering imposing restrictions on foreign students.
According to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), in the year ending June 2022, net population migration rose to 504,000, a record high.
Many British universities could face "bankruptcy" if the government cuts the number of international students, a government immigration adviser has warned, the report said.
