MPs, a Lord, English UK members and stakeholders joined us for a very positive reception in the House of Commons on Thursday 11 May 2023 for the launch of our new position paper: 'Help us become the world's premier ELT destination again'.

The Terrace Pavilion overlooking the Thames was packed with well over 100 people, including many of our members. MPs who attended included Stephen Hammond, Selaine Saxby, Sir Peter Bottomley, Sally-Anne Hart, Diane Johnson, Munira Wilson, Kerry McCarthy and Kevin Hollinrake. 

The UK ELT sector's post-pandemic recovery accelerated in 2022, with a doubling of student weeks and an "impressive" three-fold rise in numbers, according to our 2023 Student Statistics Report. 

We are delighted to confirm we will return to China, to Beijing and Shenzhen, in November 2023.

Now that China has re-opened its borders to visitors and is issuing visas after a three-year break, we are excited to return to China and help members rebuild relationships in this important market.

Interested in helping to deliver a great summer experience for students learning English in the UK this summer?

English Path, one of the largest school chains in the UK, has welcomed RefuAid students to its classroom since its earliest days.

RefuAid, the charity which works to restore independence and dignity to refugees, has worked with around 90 English language centres to give their clients access to the language learning they need to pass the IELTS or OET exams, allowing them to continue their careers or education in the UK.
