The third strand of our summit seminars will focus on understanding new UK regulations including the new points based immigration system, legal agreements, and UKVI support available to students during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our second strand of summit seminars, taking place on Monday 14 September, focus on market development opportunities for student recruitment and developing other revenue streams through in-country delivery of training.

On Thursday 30 July 2020 the Home Office announced further provisions for international students who are unable to leave the UK due to travel restrictions relating to Covid-19. 

Exports Minister Graham Stuart has written an open letter to international ELT students, welcoming them back to UK classrooms and recognising English UK and its members work on focussing on student safety and latest government guidance. 

The extent of the financial hit to UK ELT has been calculated for the first time in research done by English UK among its member centres.

The research, carried out by Bonard in June, shows a £257m loss among the 145 participating centres. Extrapolating that figure to the entire membership equates to a loss of more than half a billion pounds for the first three quarters of 2020.
