<p>The Government's International Education Strategy, published in July 2013, included
an analysis of the value of international education to the UK. This analysis showed
that international students across all parts of the education sector (higher education,
further education, English language training, and independent schools) were estimated
to contribute £13.6bn to the UK economy in 2011. More recent data indicates that this
figure rose to £13.9bn in 2012.</p><p> </p><p>International students also bring indirect
economic benefits to the UK, including: strengthening the quality, diversity and reputation
of the UK education sector; providing a pipeline of prospective students who may study
at higher levels in the UK; and improving overseas business, research, social and
cultural links.</p><p> </p><p>The International Education Strategy and the accompanying
analytical narrative can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-education-strategy-global-growth-and-prosperity"
