<p>The Government will continue to strike the balance between reducing overall net
migration, protecting the economic benefits that overseas students bring to the UK
and ensuring that businesses have the skills they need. Those affected by changes
made to the Student visa will predominantly be dependants of students who make a more
limited contribution to the economy than students or those on work visas, minimising
the impact on UK growth.</p><p>We have been successful in delivering our International
Education Strategy goal of hosting 600,000 students per year by 2030, earlier than
planned, and expect universities to be able to adapt to reduced dependant numbers.</p>
