The British government is all set to extend the duration of post-study visas for international students up to one year, in a bid to facilitate international scholars to secure employments in UK. This plan is a part of the government’s initiative to boost an upsurge in the recruitment levels by more than 30 percent, with the aim to increase the income to the sector from the current £20 billion annually to £35 billion annually, per the announcement made by the government last week.

Teachers are to be offered cash and job-share incentives in a bid to encourage them to stick with their jobs, part of British education secretary’s plan to boost the number of teachers in the profession. While sharing a new plan on Monday, Education Secretary Damian Hinds said teachers work “too many hours” and hence should be encouraged with job-related incentives. He said the new measures would attract as well as retain young teachers who currently “carry the burden of unnecessary tasks” as an integral part of their job.
