answer text <p>Information on the finances of UK higher education institutions (HEIs) is collected and published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). The table below summarises the total income from the tuition fees of non-EU domiciled to UK HEIs in the last three academic years.

answer text <p>The Government recently set out its response to the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Year 2 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/teaching-excellence-framework-year-2-technical-consultation" target="_blank">Technical Consultation</a> and the operational <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teaching-excellence-framework-year-2-specification" target="_blank">specification</a> for TEF Year 2.</p><p>Overall, we expect the TEF to enhance the international reputation of UK higher education by encouraging all universities to maintain and improve their teaching standards. By showcasing the excellence of UK higher education, the TEF will support the sector by attracting international students in a globally competitive market. We anticipate that the outcomes of the TEF assessment process will inform student choices, including international student choices. However, no direct link (and therefore no estimate) has been made between TEF outcomes and international student enrolment.</p>

answer text <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 EU and non-EU students at UK universities contributed £9.7bn in 2011 to the UK economy (tuition fees and living expenditure).</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 global talent that supports world class research and collaboration; and improving overseas trade, social and cultural links.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Defra is one of the signatories to the Courtauld Commitment 2025. This is a commitment by stakeholders across the UK food and drink system – from producer to consumer – to work together to respond to pressures on increasingly scarce resources. All the food waste from Defra’s London canteen is recycled.</p><p> </p><p>Reducing waste from Government departments is a key focus of the Greening Government Commitments. In 2014-15, Government departments collectively recorded a 22% reduction in overall waste compared to a 2009-10 baseline. The Greening Government target for waste has focused on the top of the waste hierarchy – that is, reducing overall waste, allowing individual departments to take action on different waste streams as appropriate to their specific operations and material impacts.</p><p> </p><p>A new framework of Greening Government targets covering the period to 2020 will be announced soon.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Neither Defra nor the Environment Agency collect or hold data regarding the amount of non-recyclable coffee cups going into landfill. The data on waste tonnages accepted in disposal and recovery facilities is based on standard European Waste Classification (EWC) codes. These codes do not map directly to non-recyclable coffee cups.</p><p> </p> more like this
