“Tough new rules and enforcement action to stop abuse of the student visa system and to protect legitimate students from being misled by questionable institutions has led to over 450 education providers in the UK that will no longer be able to sponsor new international students”, stated the press release. In total these colleges could have brought more than 11,000 students into the UK to study each year, it said. The British Immigration Minister Damian Green said on Monday that ‘Too many institutions were offering international students an immigration service rather than an education and too many students have come to the UK with the aim of getting work and bringing over family members”.
