UK overseas student review rejects key changes sought by Higher Education sector (THE)

From Times Higher Education (THE)

"A major review of UK policy on overseas students has rejected calls for them to be removed from the net migration statistics and for the reintroduction of post-study work visas – but does question the government’s overall net migration target.

The Migration Advisory Committee says in its report to the government published on 11 September: “We know that the sector will be disappointed by our recommendations on post-study work but demand for UK education should not be based on work rights.”
