The asylum community, here fleeing persecution and opression has long been denied educational opportunities and we are calling for this to change. Our plan involves the follwing:

As asylum seekers are under represented in higher education they should have priority over others to ensure balance.

No course should be denied to an asylum seeker simply because they do not have the usual academic qualifications

Asylum seekers should receive a "learning wage" to help support their families during education, we are proposing £12,000 per year.

We are also calling on the UK government to run adverts in areas where established asylum communities live so they can inform others in their home country that they will be welcome in the UK and that an education awaits them.
