EXCLUSIVE: Industry insider said the world of education agents was a 'dark art'. Foreign students are rushing to enter UK with their families before January banAn anonymous insider has spilled the secrets of a murky industry accused of 'selling immigration'.
This is largely because people from abroad usually pay at least double the university fees of British students. The industry insider who spoke to MailOnline revealed that the number of foreign students her company was preparing for UK universities, teaching them English and helping them pass A-Levels, has risen by almost 50,000 per cent since 2006.
MailOnline spoke to an international recruitment expert based at a top education provider who lifted the lid on the practice she called a 'dark art' There were almost 120,000 dependant visas granted to the top five nationalities of Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka last year. She added: 'This does not detract from the considerable success that the Government and the higher education sector have had in achieving the goals from our International Education Strategy, meeting our target to host 600,000 international students studying in the UK per year by 2030, for two years running, and earlier than planned – a success story in terms of economic value and exports.
