It is unfair to grant the scheme but deny students the full benefits of it, especially in light of unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on securing new jobs. On top of this, the UK Government have set out an ambition to increase education exports to £35 billion and the number of international higher education students in the UK to 600,000 by 2030.
