New expert panel to advise on better UK visa offer for overseas students

A new commission made up of education sector experts has been launched in the UK to help develop a new international education strategy that fully takes into account the many merits of overseas students in the country, of which Indians make up the largest nationality.

The International Higher Education Commission (IHEC), chaired by former UK universities minister and member of Parliament Chris Skidmore, has been created in the wake of recent reports of UK government plans to curtail the post-study work visa route and other measures to crackdown on student migration statistics.
