The UK’s education system is becoming increasingly reliant on migrant workers as it becomes a “welfare haven” for foreign students.
The UK is the only country where a substantial number of foreign students are being employed to teach English to children, despite its strict labour laws.
The country is also home to the highest number of migrant students at the moment, with over 50,000.
The Government’s policy has been to introduce a system of free boarding schools, whereby foreign students will be paid to work at the UK-funded schools.
Under this scheme, students must first be approved by the Home Office and are required to show a UK-approved passport to be able to work.
The government says the scheme will “protect children from exploitation and discrimination”.
But the scheme is facing criticism for its lack of transparency and for being poorly managed.
“I think we need to be a little more open about it, and that’s what I’ve been trying to do,” said Simon Evans, the head of the British Council for Educational Quality, who also represents the schools’ unions.
“So we’re saying to them, ‘Look, you can’t work here if you’re not from the UK.'” “
A Home Office spokesperson told The Independent that: “The Department of Education and Skills (DESS) will look at the proposal in detail, and work with the relevant authorities to ensure it is in the best interests of children.” “

But Mr Evans told the Independent that he and the schools unions had been “very concerned about the very tight control” that the Home Secretary has placed on the schools.
“There’s an extremely tight control that’s been put on these schools.
The UK has a reputation for high rates of child abuse and neglect, but recent reforms to its child welfare system have led to a drop in cases. “
What I think is really worrying about this, is that there’s a very high level of risk of children being exploited in the system.”
The UK has a reputation for high rates of child abuse and neglect, but recent reforms to its child welfare system have led to a drop in cases.
According to the National Child Abuse Report 2016, the number of child protection reports received from police and other government agencies fell by 29 per cent in 2016, to just over 13,000, compared with just over 12,000 in 2007.
According the latest figures from the National Crime Agency, over a quarter of all UK child abuse reports in 2016 were for sexual or physical abuse.
The Department for Education told The Guardian that the reforms would help protect children and foster a culture of “a zero tolerance” attitude towards child abuse.
But the reforms have faced resistance from the unions.
“However, the reforms we’ve seen will do far more to protect children than to remove children from this system.” “
