Chrisann Jarrett
Chrisann Jarrett is a final year Law student at the LSE. In 2014, Chrisann founded an Equal Access to Higher Education campaign called Let Us Learn. The campaign focuses on the issue of young ambitious migrants who are lawfully resident in the UK but are barred from student finance due to changes in legislation as of 2011. The campaign calls for a change in government policy. Chrisann was one of these young people who were being told that she had to pay international fees and so the campaign was personal. Through strategically lobbying MP’s, local and national newspapers and involvement in a Supreme Court test case, the campaign has enabled many more young people who were brought to the UK as children to access university. Chrisann is immensely passionate about young people having a voice and developing the key tools early on in their careers to be leaders.
