Following some observation in certain areas of the country, especially on the universities, there are chances that certain  immigration rules will be relaxed to better improve the operations of certain universities as they impact the economy.

Remember sometimes back, Rishi Sunak announced a crackdown on most students bringing dependents as part of efforts to reduce record legal net migration levels. Experts are expecting overall numbers to start coming down, partly as a result.

However, there have been concerns about the impact on universities, which often get huge revenues from those coming from abroad to do courses.

A minister has hinted that the Tory crackdown on foreign student visas could be eased amid the cash crisis in universities. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson suggested the government wants to ‘welcome’ more international students. She also refused to rule out hiking tuition fees, with fears that major institutions could be on the verge of collapse.

Asked whether more international students could be part of the answer to the problems, Ms Phillipson says: ‘In terms of international students they have an important role to play in our country… they drive opportunities in terms of the contribution to the economy, I’ve seen it myself in Sunderland…

‘Under this Labour government we want to welcome international students to our country, the soft power, the reach they give us around the world as they return home after their studies.’
