Britain tightens student visa rules
LONDON: Britain is to tighten the rules on immigrants entering Britain on a student visa in a clampdown on the system, the British government announced on Sunday. British Home Secretary Alan Johnson said the crackdown was part of a wider campaign against immigrants who apply for student visas even though they intend to work. The government has closed down 200 bogus colleges, which help students into Britain but do not offer proper courses. A Home Office spokesman refused to confirm the number of student visas that were expected to be cut each year. reuters
