Welcome report from QAA highlighting the importance of good practise between pathway providers and universities. With close to 20 years of experience working with universities, we are proud of our students and the high progression rates we maintain in the sector. @KaplanPathways

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

“This important analysis provides the most accurate picture yet of the net economic impact of international students” 🗣️ @LCpathways @KaplanPathways via @HEPI_news

[Russell Group @RussellGroup]

One year’s intake of international students brings total net benefits across the UK of £37.4bn - and some individual constituencies alone gain economic benefits of half a billion pounds.

Read the new research from @HEPI_news @KaplanPathways⁩ and @LE_Education 👇

[LE Education @LE_Education]

Very excited to share our new estimates of the net benefits of international students to the UK by constituency! For the first time ever, these are based on the new constituency boundaries, and use more granular and up-to-date data on where international students live.

What a week? Finally the right outcome. So much work but a brilliant example of the sector working together. Thankfully the Graduate Route will remain.

[The PIE News @ThePIENews]

The UK Home Office has revealed new proposals to “crack down” on student visas – and while the Graduate Route will remain “under review”, it’s not going anywhere before the upcoming election.

Let's hope this is true.

@viviennestern Well done Vivienne. You more than held your own and consistently got your points across.

[Linda Cowan @LCpathways]

Well done @ucas_corporate. Positive action.

The total net benefit to the UK Exchequer of hosting Graduate Route visa holders came in at £70 million in the first full year of the scheme, new research has found, disproving claims that the UK loses out financially

If only we had a govt whose policy changing approach was based on evidence rather than ideology…. We won’t need to make a case for something to obvious

[University Alliance @UniAlliance]

Important research out today outlining the importance of the Graduate Route visa.

It finds those that international student graduates who stay for a further 2 years after graduating are a net benefit to the exchequer, with these benefits set to increase substantially in 2023/4👇

[Phil Baty @Phil_Baty]

As the government looks set to scrap it, new research finds the total net benefit to the UK Exchequer of hosting Graduate Route visa holders in 2022/23 is estimated to be £70 million… disproving claims that the UK loses out financially. https://t.co/FV4KaJoCdI

Ahead of the MAC's findings on the Graduate Route due to be published next week, we at @LE_Education are very excited to publish our important new research into the UK Exchequer benefits and costs associated with the Graduate Route.

@dibyeshanand @UniWestminster Congratulations Dibyesh. Looking forward to continuing to work with you.

[Universities UK @UniversitiesUK]

There’s been a lot of talk about international student admissions lately.

We know the public are worried about how fair it is, and we’ve announced actions we’re taking to investigate.

But today's @TheTimes article still gets some important facts wrong 🧵
