Exporting Education

On 23 May 2023 the APPG for International Students will host the first of two events as part of our short inquiry into the Graduate Visa – the Expert Roundtable #internationalstudents

Our Co-Chairs, @Lord_Bilimoria and @PaulBlomfieldMP have again raised concerns about the inclusion of international students in net migration figures, echoing the call to remove international students in their 2018 Inquiry. Read more bit.ly/3u4aUZU #internationalstudents

Our Chair, James Pitman, responds to the Government's announcement on the post-study work visa. exeduk.com/exporting-educ… #internationalstudents #Poststudyworkvisa

Pleased to see the announcement of a two year post-study system for international students. One of the key recommendations in the APPG Inquiry report (exeduk.com/appg-for-inter…) and something long campaigned for by the APPG @PaulBlomfieldMP @Lord_Bilimoria

Looking forward to meeting with the APPG Advisory Group today to reflect on the past year, the APPG Inquiry Report and to discuss & plan activities for the year ahead. @ISC_schools @AoC_info @BAISIS_schools @UKCISA @UUKIntl @UniversitiesUK @nusuk @englishuk @Independent_HE

May says our technical education has fallen behind #AugarReview @Policy_Exchange

Wonderful to celebrate the launch of the UK’s bold new international education strategy tonight with @DamianHinds & @LiamFox - lucky to have 2 such strong cabinet champions, which speaks to the huge potential of the sector @ExEdUK @Independent_HE @educationgovuk @tradegovuk_Edu

Looking forward to our meeting today with @BUILAcommittee to discuss what other measures are needed to make the UK number one destination for international students #intlstudents

Co-Chair of the @APPGIS @PaulBlomfieldMP and APPG member @JoJohnsonUK have secured strong cross party support for a new 2 year post study work visa to turbocharge the UK's growth strategy, as recommended in their recent report exeduk.com/appg-for-inter…

Enjoyed constructive @ExEdUK meeting this afternoon with Shahid Omer @educationgovuk + Geoff Gladding @tradegovuk_Edu discussing the UK’s ambitious new whole-government and whole-sector International Education Strategy. @Independent_HE

Just one cohort of international students who stay in the UK to work pay £3.2 billion in tax - and they aren’t taking jobs from UK citizens. This report from @HEPI_news @KaplanPathways provides the clear evidence for recommendation two in our report bit.ly/2DquBmF

We welcome today's report from @KaplanPathways @HEPI_news. It is the clear evidence for the need for a competitive #pswvisa

The meeting will also look at the next steps for taking forward the recommendations from the APPG for International Students' @APPGIS 2018 Inquiry report: A sustainable future for international students in the UK.

For the next ExEdUK meeting on 2 April we will be joined by Geoff Gladding @tradegovuk and Shahid Omer @educationgovuk to examine the government's new International Education Strategy. ExEdUK Members and Partners can register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/exporting-ed…

New International Education Strategy presses the reset button with ambitious target for growth, specific commitments of support + a strong focus on diversity of provision, a welcoming environment, graduate outcomes + better quality data. Big step forward. gov.uk/government/new…

We've published a briefing collating perspectives of international students and those who teach them, on the Immigration White Paper 2018-19 exeduk.com/perspectives-o…

Lord Willetts suggests that a strength of the report's approach is framing #intlstudents as an export strategy #weareinternational
