Rishi Sunak is facing a cabinet revolt over plans to scrap a graduate visa scheme that allows overseas students to live and work in the UK for up to two years after graduation.
The government is considering further restricting or ending the graduate scheme, which some believe can be used as a backdoor entry route to the UK.
However, several cabinet ministers, including education secretary Gillian Keegan, chancellor Jeremy Hunt, and foreign secretary David Cameron, are said to be opposing the move.
University vice-chancellors warn that such a move could threaten the futures of their institutions and damage local economies. The UK’s exit from the EU has already had a serious effect on curbing international exchanges.
