Judicial Review in ETS TOEIC deception cases

The Appellants, both nationals of Pakistan had made applications to extend their student visas prior to the expiration of their leave. The Secretary of State refused their applications and invalidated their existing leave by service of removal decisions under section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. Both Appellants lodged judicial review claims challenging the removal decisions.

The Court referred to R (Anwar and Adjo) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2010] EWCA Civ 1275 where the words ‘stifle an appeal’ were used but distinguished that case to that of the Appellants on the basis that here, there were no findings of facts made by the tribunal and the Secretary of State was not trying to re-litigate a matter after losing an appeal.

Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS’s institutional testing program. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is not accepted for entrance to universities.

The Court rejected this submission stating that the appellants had not make free standing applications for leave and that although pending the outcome of their appeals, the refusal to vary leave would not be set aside, the issues relating to the application to vary would be closely connected to the issues that arise in relation to the legality and merits of the section 10 notices. If successful in their challenge, the Secretary of State would be obliged to give proper effect to the findings of the tribunal. If she did not, there would be strong grounds for judicial review.

The sequencing question
In Mr. Ali’s case, Mr. Malik argued that the refusal to vary leave and the removal decision itself were two distinct decisions and that the first decision made on 7 July 2014, which gave rise to an in-country right of appeal, could not be invalidated by a previous removal decision.

Sequencing
It is highly suggested that learners first learn the strategies with very straightforward text-types such as forms and tables and gradually work up to the more difficult text-types categories such as letters and miscellaneous reading passages.

Each unit of work follows the same genre-approach methodology and addresses each of the seven reading strategies. See Figure 1 for a list of the seven strategies and how they correspond with questions frequently encountered on the TOEIC test.

Now, though, the news of the figure has come shortly after the Upper Tribunal (Asylum and Immigration) made a damning ruling on 23 March that the Home Secretary’s evidence suffered from "multiple frailties and shortcomings."

May to face inquiry over flimsy basis for student deportations
Following on from that investigation, Mrs May took the decision to revoke the sponsorship licences of around 60 educational institutions, and detain and remove tens of thousands of international students who had obtained the TOEIC certificate in the past.

The Seminar ended with enjoyment and good impression from the students at Thang Long University. It once again affirmed the determination of the school to integrate MOS into the school’s academic disciplines to enhance students’ IT proficiency up to international standards. As shared by the School Management Board, training students was not just limited to satisfying local recruiters but also for a broader ASEAN labor market, which will be integrated soon in 2015.

"I decided to study harder and buy some books, even though they're expensive but since I wanted to get good scores… For me, books are much more effective than studying for instance, from samples on the Internet, because with the books I can go back and forth and take some notes."

Specialists from The Seminar talked about the fierce competition in the current labor market, and in order to get a job, besides professional skills, students should make themselves more bright and shining by soft skills such as English language proficiency and IT literacy. How to master those skills and catch a recruiter’s eye was discussed in detail by Specialists from IIG Vietnam and HR Managers from Manpower and VP Bank. Besides, the students were provided with the most updated recruitment information from VP Bank, during which the recruiter advised that the students should actively add more experience in their CV by applying for internship in companies.

"In the sporting world, a verdict of ‘no contest’ would have been appropriate at this juncture."
The tribunal also found there was no evidence from any English Testing Service (ETS) witness - the US firm behind the test which was contracted by the Home Office. The president said: "Almost remarkably, ETS provided no evidence, directly or indirectly, to this tribunal," further labelling the firm’s actions as "mildly astonishing."
