Rejected petition All foreign students should be given e-ID cards & not allowed remain & work in UK for further 2 years after graduation

More details

Give all foreign students e-ID cards to ensure they return to their own countries (and any extended family members in tow), WITHOUT being able to remain & work (as currently they can) in UK for further 2 years after graduation. They should leave UK on the month they graduated. Foreign students are expected to pass their exams after serious high academic work. The academic institution teaching foreign students on student visas should give annual reports confirming good attendance and progress on the course annually, as one of the requirements of student visas.
