Can my wife continue to stay on her VISA, if I move to Tier 4

Hi,
Currently I am on a Tier 2 VISA.
My wife is on a dependant VISA.

If I move to student VISA, can she still continue with her current VISA which expires in July 2019?

Kind Regards
Kumar

no.

You should include any dependants who are on your current visa on your application to extend - including children who have turned 18 during your stay.

when you switch to tier4, your partner also need to apply together with you and switch to tier 4 dependent.
