Birmingham Airport crackdown on bogus students

Scores of bogus students have been stopped from entering the country via Birmingham airport in a crackdown by UK Border Agency officers.
Last year officers at the airport refused entry to more than 50 foreign nationals who attempted to enter the country on student visas.
Officials said the majority of bogus students stopped by UK Border Agency officers at the Airport were from Bangladesh, China, India and Pakistan.
Agency assistant dirrector Alex Lawther, the agency’s assistant said: “Intelligence on attempts to gain entry by fraud is routinely shared so that our officers can identify would-be fraudsters.”
