Stakeholders from the international education sector are concerned that statements from the UK home secretary could hamper growth and damage the country’s reputation as a study destination as she begins her tenure at the Home Office.
Last week The PIE reported that home secretary Suella Braverman would be analysing the number of dependants international students bring with them to the UK. The Home Office confirmed the government will set out a plan in the coming weeks to “ensure the immigration system supports growth whilst maintaining control”.
In a Telegraph fringe event at the Tory party conference this week, the home secretary called for fewer international students to come to the UK to study at specific institutions.
