answer text <p>We are urgently working to establish the details of the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), which will provide protection for Afghan citizens identified as most at risk. Its aim is to help those most at risk, including women and girls, and any Afghan people that were called forward for evacuation in recent days, but who were sadly unable to evacuate before ceasing operations in Afghanistan. All who come to our country through this safe and legal route will receive not a five year visa, but indefinite leave to remain and our support will include free English courses for adults, and 300 university scholarships.</p><p>We will shortly be writing to local authorities and the Devolved Administrations with details on funding for extra school places and long-term accommodation across the UK.</p> more like this
