UK to Mandate Annual English Tests for Migrants Graduate

The United Kingdom (UK) government is implementing a mandatory annual English test for migrant graduates. The move is part of the UK government's plans to ensure that only the best foreign students stay back in the country after graduation.

The Graduate Route system has undergone a major reform approved by the UK government. In order to strengthen immigration rules and guarantee that only the finest international students stay in the country, migrant graduates will now be required to take mandatory annual English exams.

The Cabinet has approved new regulations requiring annual English proficiency tests to ensure strong English language proficiency and uphold high standards for the controversial Graduate Visa Route, which permits international students to work in the UK for two years after graduation.

The goal of penalizing universities and colleges with high dropout rates is to make them responsible for offering high-quality education by hindering their capacity to attract foreign students.

To safeguard students against recruitment agencies that take advantage of the Graduate Route program and force international students into low-wage, frequently minimum-wage professions, the Home Office is putting new safeguards in place.

A ban on British institutions providing "low quality" postgraduate courses to international students is being considered by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is worried that these courses are being used more for UK work visas than for actual education.

The Conservative party's election-year vow to reduce immigration rates is exceeded by the official numbers indicating high net immigration levels.

The efficacy of the current system is called into question, as data from HM Revenue and Customs shows that 41% of graduates of the visa scheme make less than £15,000 per year.

Universities, students, and recruiting agencies will need to adjust to maintain the integrity and compliance of the UK's educational and immigration systems as the government of the United Kingdom prepares to enact reforms aimed at improving immigration policy and upholding high educational standards.
