England boasts one of the highest rates of workers overqualified for their jobs among developed nations, a report has indicated.

It comes as universities have warned of significant financial concerns due to a drop in international demand.

A think tank’s report has called for universities to offer support to Chinese students facing ‘integration challenges’.

Ucas figures reveal a drop in the number of international students accepting places on UK degree courses.

Teachers should be able to escalate concerns to other agencies on ‘safeguarding grounds’ when families refuse to co-operate, a report has suggested.

A report has indicated that the number of students pursuing degrees from British universities abroad has surged to nearly 600,000.

A new report is urging that teachers be granted powers to require the engagement of parents when dealing with their disruptive children—a move aiming to tackle the growing "burgeoning crisis of behaviour" in educational settings.
