Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lorna Fitzsimons (Labour), on Monday, 22 November 1999, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 45 members in total.
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTS TO STUDY IN THE UK
That this House believes that encouraging international students to study in the UK is good for UK exports, encourages understanding and interaction and builds up long-term links with people from across the world; welcomes the Prime Minister's initiative to promote UK education overseas and the co-operation across Government and with outside organisations to provide easier access to UK education for international students; believes that the branding of UK education being developed by the British Council will help professionalise the marketing of UK education overseas; welcomes the initiative to provide more Chevening scholarships for international students; and calls on business and education providers to work together with Government to market UK education in a way that will compete with other countries to attract international students.
