Scandal: 30,000 student visas issued illegally in Britain

About 30,000 visas to the UK in 2013, foreign students received fraudulently. We are talking about students who came from outside the European Union. Parliament Minister for Migration James Brokenshire told about it. His report is posted on the website of the British government.

Now immigration authorities of the United Kingdom are looking for those who have received such a visa and is illegally in the country. With respect to the holders of another 19 thousand visas British immigration service are investigating.

In order to obtain a student visa, you must successfully pass a language test. However, as investigation established, many students have received such a visa speak English very poorly.

Educational Testing service company helped with exams. Now its activities in Britain suspended. Three British universities who collaborated with this company, have lost their educational licenses for foreign students. We are talking about Glyndor University, University of Bedfordshire and the University of West London.

Revision of immigration policy in the UK began in 2010. With the Conservatives coming to power, many violations in the student visa system was eliminated. However, foreign students are still the main source of income for British universities. Tuition and living is not free in the United Kingdom from other countries. On some courses, foreigners make up 80 percent of the total number of students.
