A new points-based system to enable the UK to control immigration more effectively, tackle abuse and identify talented workers was recently launched by Charles Clarke, British home minister. The points-based system is a part of the governments strategy for asylum and immigration to ensure that only those who benefit Britain can come here to work or study; to strengthen the UKs borders and to crack down on abuse and illegal immigration.
Addressing students in India via video conference during the launch of the new initiative, Tony Blair, British Prime Minister, said: The new scheme will go a long way in addressing concerns of bonafide students and professionals and prevent abuse of the system.
The system categorises students and professionals into five different groups:
• highly skilled, like scientists or entrepreneurs
• skilled workers with a job offer, like nurses, teachers, engineers
• low skilled workers filling specific temporary labour shortages, like construction workers for a particular project
• students
• youth mobility and temporary workers, like working holiday-makers or musicians coming to play a concert.
The new scheme is expected to come into force from mid-2007.
