UK: Student Immigration Unsustainable

BTW, don't read the comments on the article... it will just make you most pissed off.

I'm beginning to think some don't want us here.....

For the record, I'm not blaming language schools, I agree with you that it's been made a scapegoat and is the government's fault for sucking. I was just saying that probably a lot of non-degree students are here to learn English.

I know you weren't, I was just having a general rant; people tend to assume that language school students aren't proper students because they don't do a degree.  But as anyone who's ever learned a foreign language knows, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to become fluent.  Our students have six lessons a day, plus homework.  They work as hard as any degree students, harder than some.  It just cheeses me off when people judge them with no knowledge of what they are actually like.   

How can you get a visa at an English-teaching school? Didn't they change the law to add and english proficiency requirement for Student Visas?

That's what I thought as well?
