Further to yesterday’s announcement by Alan Johnson, Home Secretary, on the new rules for International Students, a group entitled "Save Our Language Schools" has been set up on Facebook by Susan Young, Communications Consultant for English UK.

We hope that members will join and encourage teachers and homestay families and all their contacts to join.

The Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, announced changes to the rules for International Students wishing to study in the UK yesterday.

Further to the articles that were published in the UK press at the weekend relating to student visas, we would like to reassure all agents and students that this is only at the proposal stage and does not come into effect immediately.

At the moment all Tier 4 visas are still being processed under the existing rules. All entitlements for students with a Tier 4 GSV remains unchanged.

We will post an update as soon as the rules have been revised.
