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 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.
A Home Office spokesperson told the Financial Times: "We are very disappointed by the decision and are awaiting a copy of the full determination to consider next steps including an appeal. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."
The ruling was quoted as saying: "Apart from the limited hearsay evidence there was no evidence from the protagonist in this saga, the ETS organisation … The Secretary of State has not discharged the legal burden of establishing that either appellant procured his [English language] certificate by dishonesty."
The Court held that the provision under section 10(8) of the 1999 Act, that is the notification ‘invalidates any leave previously given to him’ makes clear that from the date of notification, any leave a person had was invalid and did not draw a distinction between leave given under section 3 and leave automatically extended under section 3C. Such a distinction would produce ‘arbitrary results’. The Court also held that no assistance could be drawn from a section 47 removal decision as it deals with a different situation, relating to people that have complied with the terms of their leave but whose application for a variation of their existing leave will be refused for other reasons.
The students engaging in the Seminar also expressed their dreams as well as thoughts about future competition for a job. P.T, a third year student with Finance major from Thang Long University, told about her personal experience applying for two job posts and got no feedback. T.H, a business administration major student, who had a passion for information technology, asked which IT certificate he should get. All the students expressed their interests in the recruitment testing process as it comes to that, at several companies, the initial screening on English and IT can be waived if the candidates possess standardized assessment certificates.
The Court held that although leaving the UK would lead to great expense and inconvenience, this was not in itself ‘special’ or ‘exceptional’. Lord Justice Sullivan gave serious ill health as an example of what might constitute such a factor.
Mr. Ali applied to vary his leave on 29 December 2013. A decision was made to remove him on the basis that he had used deception in his application for variation of leave. It was alleged that his Test of English for International Communication (TOIEC) certificate issued by Educational Testing Services (ETS) was obtained by a proxy test taker.
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.
Test Content
In the TOEFL, the test-taker is measured on his ability to function in an academic environment. In this regard, the vocabulary on this test is academic in nature and is similar to the vocabulary used in college text books. The topics of the reading and listening passages are similarly academic. You may read a passage on bird migration, for example, or listen to a lecture from an economics course. The TOEIC, on the other hand, measures the test-taker's ability to function in a business environment. Topics may range from dining out in a restaurant to presenting in a budget meeting.
