English UK warns that the changes to the UK student visa system announced by the Home Secretary Theresa May this afternoon could open a new loophole. 

An official report into proposed changes to the UK student visa regime has praised the English UK Partner Agency Scheme, and recommended that it should be widely publicised among language centres which sponsor visa students.

English UK, which represents 450 accredited language centres, today welcomed a report warning the Government against making changes which could damage Britain's international education sector.

A "lively debate" is going on within Government with "robust arguments" on what decisions should be made on the future of student visas, said senior LibDem MP Simon Hughes at the launch of a new report on the subject. The report, called Pathway to prosperity: making student immigration work for universities and the economy, was produced by the Liberal think-tank CentreForum.
