The Scottish government has released its first comprehensive International Education Strategy, promising plans to attract more staff and activity to promote universities and colleges internationally.
The plan, which was launched at Edinburgh Napier University on February 7 sets out the region’s ambition to work with its universities and colleges “to help diversify our international student population”, while also making sure they can “maximise their contribution” to the region.
The long-awaited document “sets out our collective aim to create the conditions for our universities and colleges to continue to flourish”, according to Higher and Further Education minister in Scotland, Graeme Dey.
“Scotland already has more top universities per head of population than any other country in the world,” Dey said.
