This new British Future research examines public attitudes to international student migration, including student numbers and net migration.
Through nationally representative polling, stakeholder workshops and a series of focus groups across the country, participants were asked to engage with some of the choices that UK policy-makers face.
People were also asked about international student numbers in the context of high net migration numbers. The research also examines public views on the contribution of students to the national and local economies; about some students being allowed to bring their spouse and children with them to the UK; and about students being able to stay and work in the UK after they graduate.
We know that sport strengthens communities and helps bring people together, so we’re pleased to hear of the relaunch of @BelongNetwork’s #PowerOfSport toolkit, supporting coaches and organisations to design inclusive sports programmes.
