Upper Tribunal allows students appeal in ETS TOEIC fraud case

By Krisztina Than
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Thousands of Hungarians protested on Saturday against education reforms implemented by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which critics see as another attempt by the right-wing leader to boost his control over state institutions.
Teachers, whose demands include a sharp reduction in teaching hours and a free choice of textbooks, were joined in the rain outside parliament by other unionized workers including miners and civil servants.
Protesters say the reforms form part of a centralization drive by Orban over the past six years that has brought state media and other public institutions under his government's control.
Singing the national anthem, some protesters shouted "We won't let this happen." Others held banners saying "Don't chase our youth away."

Brown Mackie falls under the umbrella of Education Management Corporation (EDMC), the nation's second-largest for-profit college system. Goldman Sachs Capital Partners acquired EDMC in 2006, which retains partial ownership in the company today.
The announcement follows a similar pattern of downsizing for EDMC over the past year.

director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,

Get me out of Here!' in a recent article in �The Daily Mail'.

So, again, this role is twofold: The successful business owner must always read and keep up on new processes, theories, developments, and innovations to keep his or her mind sharp. They must keep an open mind to new ideas and let go of age-old practices of "my way or the highway" thinking.

Navigator. The Internet certainly has opened avenues of communication to literally millions. Just as the role of balancer has required business owners to be more actively involved with both the internal and external functions of business, as navigators, they must be able to help departments communicate interdependently with each other, and they must help customers navigate through their "systems" effectively and efficiently to make getting information and ordering products or services as easy as humanly possible.

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."

Sir Roy deplores that "the country of Purcell, Shakespeare,
Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill had sunk so low. It's not
just that so many people watched �I'm a Celebrity' (14 million)
and the vacuous behaviour of its victims, but that they actually
gloated over such puerile antics in their homes."

The Victorians did not encourage education among the working
masses. They were employed in dreadful conditions in dangerous
factories, on low wages on the farms of big landowners and in
virtual servitude in domestic service. Added to this there was
the constant demand to fill the ranks of the army and navy to
maintain the largest empire in the world. In 1870 an Education
Act was passed allowing all children between 5 and 10 to go to
school. However, as their parents had to pay a small fee, most
children did not attend. Only in 1891 when education was made
free for children under 10 did the majority go to school. Even
then many did not, as their parents were poor and they preferred
to send them to work to earn income for the family.

The rich Victorians were happy with an uneducated underclass
which they could control politically. The legacy of this educational
exclusion of the majority continues to the present day in England.
Hence, the appetite for trashy television programmes such as
�I �m a Celebrity'. I am afraid Sir Roy, the majority of English
were always philistines. The Victorian legacy has proved too
powerful to undo.

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."
