 Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals – Quality Education What is the current impact of Brexit on the education system? Students and the educational system have been affected by Brexit. There is concern that Brexit could cause a large reduction in the numbers of students from other parts of Europe that choose to come to the UK for post-secondary education. Once Britain leaves the EU, some EU students will have to deal with increased tuition, as they will now be classified as international students. Also, UK students that are trying to avoid high tuition fees by going to university in other countries may see increased tuition as well. Despite its impact, the British educational system would still flourish after Brexit. For starters, the government is aware of new requirements for the education system to flourish, and has offered to help with the advancements of science and research. If enough support is provided, universities in the UK may end up stronger than they could have become pre-Brexit. Additionally, considering many aspiring international students will still want to receive degrees from British institutions, universities may collect more tuition that they did before Brexit. Brexit has not yet effectively taken place but is quickly approaching. Being aware of all the positives and negatives beforehand will help smooth the transition.
