<p>Students coming to the UK from outside the EU to study should be stopped from seamlessly moving into work in order to give British graduates the best chance of finding a job, Immigration Minister Damian Green has said.</p>
<p>Plans to reform the current system that allows non-EU students to work in the UK for up to two years after completing their studies will be part of the Government&#8217;s crackdown on student visas.</p>
<p>Graduate unemployment hit its highest level for more than a decade last week, with a fifth out of work.</p>
<p>&#8220;It seems to me that to allow unfettered access to the jobs market for two years to anyone with a student visa from abroad is putting an unnecessary extra strain on our own graduates,&#8221; saidMr Green.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s clearly an area where the current system is too generous. We want to encourage people to stay in education for as long as possible.</p>
<p>&#8220;If they think they are going to incur the expense of a student course and then not have a job at the end of it, then that will discourage people from doing the best for themselves, which is to be as educated as possible. It&#8217;s quite important that we have a proper fair playing field for British graduates in the jobs market.&#8221;</p>
<p>Figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) last week showed 20% of new graduates were unemployed in the third quarter of 2010. This was almost double the rate before the start of the recession, when it stood at 10.6%.</p>
<p>Graduate unemployment also increased faster than for the UK as a whole, the figures showed.</p>
