Commenting on the revised strategy, Universities Minister, Michelle Donelan, said, “In these unprecedented times, having a proactive global education agenda is more important than ever so we can build back better from the pandemic. Our world-class education is a vital part of our economy and society, and we want to support universities, schools, colleges and all aspects of the education sector to thrive across the globe.”
The Department for Education said it will work to establish a new International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS) “that will provide an opportunity for teachers around the world to train to world-respected domestic standards”.
Examining international education sectors, the UK government said that it was continuing to promote to schools better understanding of guardianship arrangements and the important role of accreditation bodies, and said that a consultation on the national minimum standards for boarding and residential special schools was launched in December.
Vivienne Stern, Director of Universities UK International, said, “I am very supportive of the International Education Strategy, which represents the next step in a joint effort by Government and the education sector to build on the international success of our education system and our attractiveness to international students. This approach has delivered real benefits already, including the introduction of the graduate route, and improvements to the visa system. Despite a very difficult year, interest in UK study has grown as a result.”
