Overseas teachers will be exempt from the government’s new visa crackdown, the Home Office has suggested.
Earlier today home secretary James Cleverly announced the pay threshold for workers coming into the United Kingdom would be lifted from £26,200 to £38,700 in the spring.
He claimed the move – which is part of a raft of visa changes – will mean “around 300,000 people who came to the UK last year would not have been able to do so”.
But the government has suggested this evening teachers will not be impacted by the measures, introduced to slash immigration.
