After the altercation among Lord Cameron, Jeremy Hunt, and PM Rishi Sunak, the UK Prime Minister has bowed to pressured.
With an initial proposition (still a rumor though) made by the UK Prime Minister to forbid graduates from staying in the UK once their educational run finishes, the foreign secretary Lord Cameron, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan and Home Secretary James Cleverly, who are all said to have raised concerns on the impact on universities and the economy if the rules were changed.
They will include the tightening of restrictions on agents that market British degree courses overseas and subjecting some international students to mandatory English tests.
But Mr Sunak is still likely to face a backlash from former home secretary Suella Braverman, who today called for the whole graduate visa route to be scrapped, and ex-immigration minister Robert Jenrick, who has called it "a backdoor for foreign students to do low-wage work".
The decision was "a sign of good government", showing each secretary of state had reviewed the impact of policy plans and communicated them to the leader.
The home secretary ordered an emergency review of the graduate visa route in March to look at whether it was being abused and "driven more by a desire for immigration".
However, in its report released last week, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) said it should remain in place as it was key to funding British universities and was "not undermining the quality and integrity" of higher education.
