Rishi Sunak Reverses Decision to Scrap Graduate Visa

UK Prime Minister faces strong opposition from key cabinet members and international student groups, prompting policy reversal.

The Graduate Route Visa allows international students to work in the UK for up to two years post-graduation.
Sunak initially considered scrapping the visa to reduce migration numbers.
Key cabinet members, including the Chancellor and Foreign Secretary, opposed the plan due to potential negative impacts on universities and the economy.
International student organizations argued that the visa is crucial for attracting talent and providing career opportunities.
The government will instead implement tighter regulations on agents and require some students to take English tests.
