Background

British passport holders in British curriculum schools abroad already align with UK education. Treating them as home students is fair and removes an arbitrary financial barrier. It strengthens domestic recruitment, builds a reliable global pipeline and deepens the UK’s soft power by supporting families and teachers who already champion British education worldwide.
