A move by the UK to ban students from bringing their family members to the country has been frowned at by a member of Parliament (MP) Carol Monaghan.
Speaking at the parliament, Ms. Monaghan, a Scottish National party politician from Glasgow North West, said international students make valuable contributions, especially to the UK’s economy.
According to her, the UK government’s new policy on international students visas is misjudged.
She added that Scotland would have to suffer the consequences of what she described as a ‘misjudged’ policy of the government.

International students, she said, enriched the UK’s society in all sectors, including health, IT, and universities.
Recall that on Tuesday, the UK government slammed a restriction on student visa routes in a bid to cut net migration.
The latest policy restricts international students, including those from Nigeria, from bringing family members on all but postgraduate research routes.
