Congress notes that two of the main barriers to mobility of FE/HE workers and students are (discriminatory) fees and problems in obtaining visas.
Congress resolves to campaign:
1. For visas to automatically be given for no or minimal fee to anyone who has been accepted on a course or received a job offer in HE or FE.
2. Against discriminatory fees for overseas students, as part of a wider campaign for the abolition of all fees.Congress further notes that meaningful research on movement of researchers and students has to involve the people affected.
Congress resolves:
1. That all work on the movement of FE/HE workers and students will involve the full diversity of the population, including academics and students originating from all continents.
2. To make links with people working on these issues in other countries.
