In 2014, a BBC documentary drew attention to fraud in the UK’s international student visa system, including cheating in English language tests at two centres. The Home Office concluded that around 34,000 of the 58,458 students who had taken the test between 2011 and 2014 had cheated.
A government watchdog has launched an investigation into the Home Office’s decision to cancel or curtail the visas of those it accuses of cheating, as well as removing more than 1,000 people from the UK. MPs are warning the scandal could be “bigger than Windrush”.
Amelia Gentleman, the Guardian reporter who exposed the Windrush scandal, talks to Anushka Asthana about her latest investigation. We also hear from Hussain (not his real name) who describes the devastating impact the decision has had on his life.
And: Magid Magid, the youngest person to hold office as lord mayor of Sheffield, reflects on his time in the role and his decision to stand as a Green party MEP.
