💭 Speaking for me, not my employer
Since stopping dependent visas for taught students, I’ve seen many families split - leaving young children with families - so a parent can get the higher education they need to provided the best future for their families.

That is tragic.

The super super sad thing…

Right now money speaks. And if the political powers *really* want to see economic development - then they need to acknowledge the opportunity from international students AND their families.

Reducing dependent visas shrank our economy.

… and I have so much pride to see some of our graduates staying in our city - supporting some of the most vulnerable children and families.

I get so frustrated by any anti-international students rhetoric. We should be so thankful for what we gain — and what they gain and take back into the world.

Totally agree @choroniven.bsky.social. I live in Hull and have seen our international students bring so much to our city. Gentrifying neighbourhoods; enriching our teaching by sharing their experience/perspectives; working in schools & care homes; and generally bringing much joy to my working life.

From a very biased perspective, the analysis suggests that in Yorkshire and the Humber, international students contribute £2.9 billion to the economy.

I worry any levy will risk this.
