Student cutback to hit language schools

UK GOVERNMENT plans to close the door on up to 120,000 international students will threaten the future of independent language schools and hundreds of jobs, the owner of one institution in Scotland has warned.

Adell Mitchell, director of Live Language, an independent language school in Glasgow, said: "With one ill-thought out plan the government is threatening our livelihood and the jobs of staff. We have spent eight years building up our business and now the government is planning to do away with English language schools with the stroke of a pen."
