Stop playing politics with international students

Additional Information

We are deeply concerned about the news that UKBA have revoked London Metropolitan University’s highly trusted sponsor (HTS) status. 2000 international students studying there will have to find a new institution within the next 60 days, or face having to leave the country.

International students are being treated as a political football, the negative impacts of which could have implications for the UK economy – further emphasising the need for international students to be removed from immigration statistics, as has been recommended by the Home affairs Select Committee.

International students constitute an industry worth £12.5 billion a year to the British economy, and contribute a great deal to our education system and society. It would be extremely misguided to take this for granted. We call on the Government to support this call for international students to be taken out of migration statistics.
