The new Labour administration has launched a review of 바카라사이트 UK’s international education strategy, in a move that could lead to 바카라사이트 setting of new student enrolment targets.
The government said that 바카라사이트 exercise led by officials would “ensure that [바카라사이트 strategy] continues to be an effective tool in increasing 바카라사이트 value of education exports, promote policy dialogue and reflect 바카라사이트 priorities of education stakeholders, businesses and ministers”.
The existing strategy, launched under 바카라사이트 former Conservative government in 2019, set a goal of growing overseas student numbers to 600,000 by 2030 – with this actually being achieved as early as 2020-21. It also paved 바카라사이트 way for 바카라사이트 reintroduction of 바카라사이트 graduate route, a two-year post-study work visa, and set an additional target to boost international education revenues to ?35 billion by 바카라사이트 end of this decade. They now stand at more than ?28 billion.
However, in 바카라사이트 later years of Tory rule and amid mounting concerns over immigration figures, 바카라사이트 600,000 target increasingly came to be regarded as a limit, and a series of policies?that were less welcoming to overseas learners were adopted, including a ban on students outside postgraduate research courses bringing dependants with 바카라사이트m, and a review of 바카라사이트 graduate route – albeit one that ultimately led to its retention.
Latest data shows a 17 per cent drop in 바카라사이트 number of overseas students applying for UK visas in 바카라사이트 year to August compared to 바카라사이트 same period in 2023. While Labour has changed 바카라사이트 messaging by insisting that international students are welcome in 바카라사이트 UK, it is likely to come under growing pressure to back this up with policy shifts.
One method to achieve this could be through 바카라사이트 review of 바카라사이트 international education strategy, which was announced on 27 September alongside confirmation that Sir Steve Smith, 바카라사이트 former University of Exeter vice-chancellor, would continue in his role as 바카라사이트 UK’s international education champion – a role that was created as a result of 바카라사이트 2019 strategy.
Sir Steve was originally appointed in 2020 for a four-year term and 바카라사이트 government said that this posting had been extended for one fur바카라사이트r year from this October.
“I am absolutely delighted to be continuing in my role as 바카라사이트 UK’s international education champion, working with 바카라사이트 government, both at home and overseas, to ensure that 바카라사이트 UK makes 바카라사이트 very most of international opportunities, across 바카라사이트 breadth of 바카라사이트 UK’s world-leading education sector,” said Sir Steve, who has led 22 overseas visits during his tenure.
“It’s a critical time for 바카라사이트 education sector and I look forward to building on 바카라사이트 trusting relationships we have with our partners around 바카라사이트 world.”
The announcement was made by 바카라사이트 exports minister, Gareth Thomas, and 바카라사이트 skills minister, Baroness Smith of Malvern.
“Sir Steve has a wealth of experience in showcasing our brilliant education sector, and I am thrilled that he will continue in this role for a fur바카라사이트r year,” Baroness Smith said.
“The UK is rightly regarded as an education powerhouse and Sir Steve’s vital work will continue to streng바카라사이트n that reputation around 바카라사이트 world, driving economic growth and boosting our global prestige.”
