ICYMI: 'It's a myth that international students displace domestic students. They enable courses that would otherwise be loss-making and not offered to domestic students. It's crucial the government takes note of the MAC review.'

Jo Johnson, chairman of FutureLearn, shared

“It is absolutely crucial that the government takes note of the MAC review, which the PM commissioned and set the terms of reference for, which recommended unequivocally that the government should not change the graduate route.”

“This is shockingly bad legislation. It goes well beyond what is needed to keep international student numbers down to manageable levels. It disregards both the interests of international students and the autonomy of higher education providers.” timeshighereducation.com/news/australia…

I did think some of you were being rather optimistic yesterday. Evidence is irrelevant in the face of dogma.

Well, would you believe it?

Note to politicians: what a great moment to assert the importance of evidence-based policy instead of searching for policy-based evidence.

So do you also want to scrap the £1 trillion trade target and increase fees or public funding for teaching home students?

What a rude man. From the school of thought that if you interrupt enough and speak loudly enough you must be right.

This ⬇️ The MAC’s recommendations clearly state that the Graduate Route should be retained in its current form bringing benefits to universities, our students & the wider communities we serve. Failure by UK government to endorse this would be unconscionable… #WeAreInternational
