HC Deb 11 July 1988 vol 137 c2W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many aliens are registered as students at New college, Cardiff; and how their educational progress and attendance is monitored.

Mr. Renton

Applications for overseas nationals for leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as students are considered on an individual basis and normally no record is maintained by the Home Office of the numbers of overseas students at individual educational establishments.

When a student applies for further leave to remain to continue studies, an attendance check may be made. In many cases a student's educational progress is evident from the courses being followed, but where there is cause to doubt a student's progress he may be asked for evidence of examination results.
