US EditionLet students who fled Hong Kong to go to UK pay same university fees as Britons, urge MPs
- Labour MPs have urged the UK government to allow Hong Kong BNO visa holders to pay the same university fees as British students in 2025.
- This call follows the 2021 visa route opening that let nearly three million BNO holders live, study, and work in the UK amid political unrest in Hong Kong.
- Hong Kong students currently pay international fees up to £22,000 annually for most courses and £60,000 for medicine, which many families cannot afford, leading to delayed or abandoned studies.
- James Naish, Labour MP for Rushcliffe, emphasized that allowing students to pay domestic tuition fees is both ethically justifiable and economically advantageous, a view supported by student accounts of the financial challenges posed by international fees.
- If fees remain high and immigration reforms delay settled status to ten years, many BNO talents risk putting education and careers on hold, prompting calls for government reconsideration.
