The government of the United Kingdom has announced new proposals to guarantee that the UK’s world-class higher education sector is utilized for education rather than as a point of entry for immigration; however, more proposals are still being researched.
This is expected to keep the UK at the top of the global higher education rankings and draw in the most talented and motivated international students whilst also fulfilling the promise of reducing overall migration levels.
The measures would govern the recruitment of international students and take action against dishonest recruiting agencies that push applicants to apply to British colleges by requiring institutions to abide by a strict framework for agents.
The UK announced via its website, that there will be stricter compliance requirements put in place for educational institutions that hire international students.
Furthermore, there will be increased financial maintenance requirements, meaning that overseas students will need to demonstrate their financial independence.

This means that applicants who do not meet this requiremen,willd not be admitted to a UK institution.
