Nigerian students studying in the United Kingdom, and their counterparts from other countries, will be forced to leave the country after graduation.


A fresh policy ordered by Home Secretary, Theresa May, seeks to ban foreign students, with the exception of those from EU countries, from working in Britain after completing their studies.
The policy requires that they return to their countries and reapply for a visa to return and work in the country.

It is argued that many students are using colleges as a “back door to a British work visa”.
According to official figures, out of the 121,000 non-EU students that entered the UK in the 12 months to June 2014, only 51,000 left.

This indicated a net influx of 70,000 students.

Already, May has banned 870 UK colleges from taking foreign students as a means to stop student visas being used as an easy way to enter the UK before getting a job and claiming benefits.

The new rules will deny non-EU students the right to work while in the UK and prevent them from applying for visa extensions on completion of their studies.

Thus, they will have to return to their home countries and apply to return under a work visa.
Several stakeholders in the education sector have however argued that the new rules would damage businesses and lead to a loss of important skills.

Speechless

who cares

Truth b told,they ar supposed to return to their homeland to impact something after being learned but then,the condition of the country doesn't help the situation

Abeg, make dem free awon niggurs joor,as long as it's legit. Can't blame dem. Naira value has depreciated, man must hussle. After spending huge money paying school fees In UK, to earn dough come be big deal. Evils!

what has happened this time?

Modified Racial Discrimination!They can come and do symposiums and lectures to get our students to their schools, Chop our money in school fees, Then Return them back! Well Done uk!

How is a policy that is for the good of the Britons in their own country xenophobic?

Go back to your country and make it work.

It is not by force to spend all your life savings on a British degree, seeing you cannot stay back there.
The very reason why they have come up with this law. They know your true intentions of using the academic pursuit as a ploy to abandon your country for theirs, and they don't want that.

That is not xenophobia , if you came on a study visa they have a right to ask you to return home after your study. If you want to work in the UK get a job then apply from Nigeria and see if you get it

With the rate we are falling , i hope we wont discovered a rock called OBLIVION.
