The effects of international student migration on UK net migration

Article

To coincide with the release of the latest IPPR report on international student and net migration we spoke to IPPR's Alex Glennie about the government's commitment to cutting net migration from the 100,000s to the 10,000s and she suggests that the government should count students as temporary migrants, which would reduce overall migration numbers and would allow more students to study here and in turn to bring more economic benefits to the UK.
