unstar this property answer text <p>Net migration statistics are produced by the independent Office for National Statistics (ONS). In line with the internationally agreed UN definition, these statistics define a migrant as someone changing their normal place of residence for more than a year. This includes students in net migration in the same way as other migrants. Other countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand also include students in their net migration figures. <br><br>Net migration measures the difference between the number of peoplecoming the UK and the number leaving, so if students return home after<br>their studies, their impact on long-term net migration will be minimal. The ONS has recently improved its methodology so that it is possible to<br>better identify students in the emigration flows to give a more accurate measure of the contribution of students to overall net migration.In the last year, 124,000 non-EU students came to Britain to stay for more than 12 months, and the ONS estimates that only 50,000 left the country. <br><br>All migrants who are in the UK for 12 months or more have an impact on our communities, infrastructure and public services. Changing the way we measure migration would not make any difference to our student migration policy. There is no cap on the number of students who can come to the UK, and the county remains open to the brightest and the best.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

unstar this property answer text <p>International students make a significant economic and cultural contribution to the UK’s higher education (HE) sector. We have met our International Education Strategy ambition to attract at least 600,000 international students for the second consecutive year.</p><p>International students have a major economic impact in the UK through their spending on tuition fees and living expenditure. Statistics published by the department show that in 2020, total revenue from education related exports and transnational education activity was £25.6 billion, with the total revenue from HE being £19.5 billion. This data can be found here: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/uk-revenue-from-education-related-exports-and-transnational-education-activity/2020" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/uk-revenue-from-education-related-exports-and-transnational-education-activity/2020</a>.</p><p>London Economics have calculated the net economic impact of international students to the UK economy, taking into account not just the value of spending by international students, but also indirect effects, and the spending of friends and families visiting international students. It also takes into account the costs to my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer associated with teaching and supporting international students and the costs of providing public services, such as healthcare, to international students and their dependants. They estimate that for the 2018/19 cohort, the net economic impact of international students to the UK was an estimated £25.9 billion, representing around £95,000 per ‘typical’ international student. This figure does not include other sources of value that international students bring to the UK, such as tax revenues, improved longer-term trade and investment links and wider cultural and social benefits.
