Graduates from migrant backgrounds entering the UK, via the Graduate Route, will soon be required to take an annual mandatory English test.
This modification is part of a new government initiative to ensure that the best and brightest remain in the UK.
The Cabinet will soon accept these revised regulations for the program, which permit overseas students to work in the UK for two years after graduation.
The new rule rates also impact universities and colleges with high dropout rates.
International student recruitment will become impossible for these universities.
The Home Office will also pursue recruiting firms that trick overseas students into giving up their degrees for low-paying employment that frequently pays less than minimum wage.
According to official sources, the updated Graduate Route plan is part of a larger initiative to tighten immigration regulations.
This action follows reports that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak intends to ban British institutions from providing poor-quality postgraduate programs to overseas students.
There is the worry that these courses are being utilized as access to the UK.
