Initiatives Underway to Address Dramatic Decline in Indian Students Applying to the UK
A recent report in The Financial Times has drawn attention to what has been a considerable fall in the number of students from India applying to further their studies in UK universities, especially over the course of the past year. A proposed response has been put forward by Boris Johnson, who has suggested a 'Commonwealth visa programme'. Rather than a post-study work visa per se, this will be an option at first only available to Indian citizens, and then potentially extended to other Commonwealth nationals afterwards. These suggestions show the need for proactive steps to be taken into managing immigration in an inclusive way which lays out opportunities for all. However, it also highlights the often-changing nature of immigration law and thus the need for people to have a reliable source of information on this issue.
