Education is recognized the world over as a core driver of development and improved jobs prospects, but for migrants, even those who have the legal right to reside in a new country, getting access to a classroom can be an uphill struggle.

For many young migrants in the UK, the idea of going to university is almost an impossible dream, because they are charged “overseas student” fees, which can be around double those of “home” students.

However, thanks to the work of Let Us Learn, a UK-based campaign for equal and fair treatment for young migrants, their options have slightly improved.

As Chrisann Jarrett, the founder of Let Us Learn, explained to UN News when she took part in a migration debate at UN Headquarters in New York, a 2015 court victory has made a big difference to many young UK students born abroad.
