This represents a significant proportion of all international students in the UK. In 2010-11, 174,225 non-European Union students enrolled on higher education courses in the country, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency. Meanwhile, a total of \u00a357.8 million was spent on commission payments by 92 universities in 2010-11 or the nearest recorded period (an average of around \u00a3628,000 per institution). Of the 109 institutions that responded to THE&#8217;s FoI request, 17 refused to release these data on the grounds of commercial sensitivity.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.education.gov.uk\/schools\/leadership\/typesofschools\/academies\/a00210582\/annual-report-2010-11\">Academies annual report 2010\/11 &#8211; Schools<\/a> &#8211;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.channel4.com\/news\/how-tax-free-exam-boards-profit-as-schools-pay-more\">How &#8216;tax-free&#8217; exam boards profit as schools pay more &#8211; Channel 4 News<\/a> &#8211; The chief executives of AQA and OCR earn \u00a3182,000 and \u00a3170,000 respectively.
