The government fully recognises the important economic and cultural contribution that EU and international students make to the UK\u2019s higher education sector. We want that contribution to continue and we are confident \u2013 given the world class quality of our higher education sector \u2013 that it will.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK remains a highly attractive destination for non-EU students, with their numbers remaining at record highs \u2013 over 170,000 non-EU entrants to UK higher education institutions for the seventh year running. The UK is a world-leading destination for study, with four universities in the world\u2019s top 10 and 16 in the top 100 \u2013 second only to the USA. We actively promote study in the UK through the GREAT Campaign and to over 100 countries through the British Council.<\/p>
<\/p>
The government announced on 21 January that the Department for Education and the Department for International Trade will produce an international education strategy in early 2019. The strategy will set out the government\u2019s ambition for international education, and plans to support the sector in driving growth in education exports. This will include making sure we optimise our position in the market for international students.<\/p>

The Public Performance Measure (PPM) of trains on time delayed by less than five minutes was 82.4% and since that to 30th January was running at 87.4%.<\/p>
