Overseas Students: Fees and Charges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when the international student levy will be introduced.
Answered by Josh MacAlister
This government is committed to supporting the aspiration of every person who meets the requirements and wants to attend higher education (HE). We must, therefore, reform the HE system to better support disadvantaged students.
That is why the government will introduce targeted means-tested maintenance grants for students in low-income households studying on courses that support our missions and industrial strategy, funded by a levy on income from international student fees.
The government will set out further details on the International Student Levy and targeted means-tested maintenance grants at the Autumn Budget.
