I am aware of the importance of the European market for the UK’s English language teaching sector with three of the top 10 source markets EU member countries. My Department will continue to work closely with the sector through the International Education Strategy, including by providing support for English UK’s ‘English with Confidence’ campaign, and by hosting a number of European English language teaching (ELT) agents for an upcoming familiarisation visit.
