Looking at some of the reports on this, I thought it might be interesting to look into how easy it is to get a student visa and how many overseas applicants for student visas succeed. The first part of the question is answered by the government website. It says that anyone over 16 can apply for a student visa if they have been offered a place and have the means to support themselves and pay for their course—though the amount will vary—and that they must be able to speak, read, understand and write English; 16 and 17 year-olds who come must have their parents’ permission.
