Grant access to financial support for International Students on Tier 4 Visas.
Currently, many international students have been laid off, many of which work in the gig economy, there is currently no access to public funds as an international student. If they have been laid off, they will not be entitled to the saving 80% of wages that the government has introduced.
Like this is affecting self-employed, and gig workers, 0 hour contracts which we hope the government do support, we are also asking for the government to provide financial support for international students living in the UK.
A basic grant similar to that the government has introduced for furloughed workers.
Reimbursement of the extortionate international tuition fees for the last term.
Access to benefits or financial support systems.
Rent Freeze or reduced renting cost.
