Great to hear from the Education Sec that the govt continues to support & value the contribution of international students 🌏👩🎓
The message is: if you meet university & visa entry requirements, the British government and British people will welcome you

A brilliant brunch to celebrate @DayeBibs Step Together project at the weekend! Hearing such passionate testimonies about what walking and greenspaces mean to people’s wellbeing.
We also shared an overview of the Active Quarter and asked people ‘what makes a good park?’

I think this is one of the most important projects @UniversitiesUK has undertaken in the time I have been involved in its work. Having critical friends involved in shaping it has been crucial. universitiesuk.ac.uk/latest/…

Fabulous to see @Sport_England 's chair Chris Boardman and his team as they pass through Northampton on their eight-day bike ride from Manchester to Paris.
The ride is part of Sport England’s work to encourage the sport and physical activity sector to step up its work in tackling climate change.
Join us and countless other organisations and take the Green Pledge:

A lot of rather selective quoting of the MAC: in fact it found that after 12 months Grad Route visa holders’ earnings are broadly comparable to domestic graduates- median earnings in the first year are £21K - significantly higher than original estimates

What does the future of work look like?
Our survey shows that more than 11 million EXTRA grads will be needed to fill jobs in the UK by 2035, in key areas like computing, teaching and health💻

The key question from @CMonaghanSNP here:
"If the graduate route is closed, we lose out economically but, more importantly, our businesses lose skills and the ability to develop and expand." 🌍

The Graduate Visa plays a big role in the UK's competitiveness as a study destination

Did you know?
International students contribute £240 million a year to the local economy of Middlesbrough and Darlington. 🎓🌎
Cutting off the Graduate Route undermines this contribution.
Thank you for highlighting our report findings @JoJohnsonUK
