It’s been a month since we celebrated the 1-year anniversary of our shorter route to ILR campaign win!
We also released a short film for our current #OutOfTheLoop campaign for a more affordable route to ILR.

We launched the short film for our #OutOfTheLoop campaign yesterday in which 4 young migrants Dishita, Daniel, Sherif and Adeola share the life-changing effects of last year's campaign win for a shorter path to permanent status.

What does access to higher education mean to you?

This week STAR's #EqualAccess Activists got creative in a #research workshop with @A26project.

Only 3% of refugees get to university - and HEIs play such an important role in changing that. Proud of my fab colleagues Katie and Dan for outlining concrete steps to be taken at the #unesco #WHEC2022. And massive shout out to @Olive_UEL for being such a great example of this!

UK Immigration Minister @kevin_j_foster has released a written statement confirming a 5 year route to settlement for young people who are #Britishinallbutpaperwork!
This is transformative for our young people and we look forward to seeing the route in immigration rules soon.

We’re so inspired by local schools who are creating a culture of sanctuary for students! We’re working hard @unibirmingham with our partners @EUni_Well @UniofSanctuary @A26project @RefugeeEdUK to make the transition to university as smooth as possible for those seeking sanctuary.

We are proud to add a major campaign win - the replacement of the 10 year route to settlement with a 5 year route for integrated young people who came to the UK as children - to our list of organisational successes on our website. Read the full list here!

🎙Tune in: Our brilliant outreach officer Kimberly will be on BBC @1Xtra tonight @ 9 talking about how young people who are British in all but paperwork are blocked from accessing higher education.
#LetUsLearn
YOUNG, GIFTED & BLOCKED.
This Sunday at 9pm on BBC @1xtra I discuss how thousands of young people are being denied funding for higher education because of their immigration status despite either being born or raised in the UK.
The issue is MASSIVE & not one to be missed.
