The
Guardian, a national UK newspaper, has received a leaked email trail
from UK civil servants which seems to show that UK ministers
considered the possibility of preventing the children of illegal
immigrants from attending free UK state schools to prevent 'education
tourism'. It seems that any such plans were quickly dropped but
ministers are now considering asking schools to check on the
immigration status of both pupils and their parents as part of the
admissions process.
An
Oxford University study suggests that there are approximately 120,000
schoolchildren in UK schools who are in the country illegally.
The
emails between civil servants in the UK's Department for Education
(DfE) seem to show that a group of ministers had considered barring
the children of illegal immigrants from the education system as part
of the Coalition government's efforts to eliminate the 'pull factors'
which draw some migrants to the UK.
However,
the emails also seem to show that, if the ministers did consider such
a move, they rejected it pretty quickly, perhaps because civil
servants advised that to do so would breach Article 26 of the UN
Convention of Human Rights.
