Eastbourne's language schools are an important piece of the town's tourist economy and they have been hit hard by the international restrictions on travel. For the last two years I have worked with English UK to raise issues of concern.
Speaking with them I am pleased to report they are recovering and it was a joy to see students return to Eastbourne during the Easter break.
However, I want to see this sector thrive and so I raised with Government Ministers what more can be done to encourage students to our shores.
