@observeruk.bsky.social mentions findings of the report I coauthored in collaboration with @britishfuture.bsky.social on public attitudes on international students in the UK.

It was exciting to work with @britishfuture.bsky.social @heather-rolfe.bsky.social on this report. Even amidst the polarized migration debate, most of the public recognizes the importance of international students and opposes reducing their numbers, despite comprising 40% of net migration in the UK
