Currently British overseas territories, such as Gibraltar, Bermuda and Anguilla, are treated as home students for fee purposes at further education colleges and universities in the UK. However students from the Crown Dependencies – Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man – are treated as oversees students.
At the end of 2006, the Education Ministers from the three islands wrote to UK officials calling the difference in treatment ‘unreasonable and arguably, discriminatory’.
On Monday, Senator Mike Vibert met the other two ministers in London to discuss the issues facing all three islands.
