UKCISA, in conjunction with Unipol, have just released a new guide aimed at staff who deal with international students in residential accommodation specifically for HE and FE institutions (but also useful for private sector institutions).

More than 3,000 jobs and over £600 million a year in foreign earnings have been saved for the UK economy by a High Court judgement on which international students can come to the UK.

English UK has today won its case in the High Court against the last Home Secretary’s decision to raise the level of English which students must have before they can get a UK visa to learn the language here.

Thank you to all our partners for nominating us as LTM Stars! English UK has been nominated for the Star School Association Award again in 2010.

The Home Secretary, Theresa May, announced on 15th June that there would be an immediate halt to the further introduction of the Home Office’s Vetting and Barring Scheme. The Scheme will now undergo a significant and unspecified period of review termed as ‘remodeling,’ and is in line with statements previously made in both of the ruling parties election manifestos to scale the scheme back to ‘common sense levels’.
