London Higher responds to International Student Levy (ISL) technical consultation
This response summarises feedback from London Higher members discussed at a technical consultation meeting on the Government’s proposed International Student Levy (ISL). Members recognise the Government’s stated intent that levy income will be reinvested into higher education and skills. However, there is concern that aspects of the proposed design and implementation could give rise to unintended consequences for providers, students and the wider higher education system.
