Indian education director demoted amid hiring allegations

In most cases, the choice is clear. A student applying to a school learns which test the program requires. However, some programs or universities will accept scores from any of the international tests of English. Then, a student may choose which test to take.

At the tribunal’s judgement, President Honourable Mr Justice McCloskey, said: "The evidence adduced on behalf of the Secretary of State emerged paled and heavily weakened by the examination to which it was subjected."

A member of the Indian Workers’ Association told the Hindustan Times that 70 per cent of the 48,000 affected students were Indian, adding: "Due to their personal and national humiliation, many left of their own accord, the majority were deported."

"I say immediately that grounds (ii) – (iv), whether taken individually or collectively, do not justify the draconian step of revocation…. If ground (i) is valid then grounds (ii) – (iv) are unnecessary surplusage. If ground (i) is not valid then grounds (ii) to (iv) would not justify, on any view of the evidence, the sanction of revocation. That would be a grossly disproportionate response."

"…it has advanced evidence which shows, at least prima facie, that it is not a "dodgy" institution. It says that for the 67 CAS issued in reliance on false TOEIC certificates there is no evidence that the students were anything other than genuine. It was not "absolutely obvious" that they could not speak English and were therefore fraudsters. On the contrary there was either evidence of an adequate command of English or, where further examination revealed doubts, the sponsorship of the students was withdrawn. All this was set out in great detail in a letter dated 26 August 2014; but this was effectively ignored by the SSHD when she came to make her decision…what the SSHD characterises as inference is no more than mere suspicion, and that mere suspicion is not a fair or rational basis on which to mete out a draconian sanction which will have such a calamitous economic consequence for an incorporated UK business"

"There is a lot to be said for the argument that when faced with the exceptional circumstance of fraud of this scope and scale the SSHD was and is entitled to adopt a line of adamantine strict liability whatever her previously published policy may have said."

Organizations sometimes use the TOEIC to measure progress in English training programs. For those who have any queries with regards to wherever and also how you can utilize toeic toefl conversion, it is possible to e mail us in our own website. They also use it to consider people for placement at the right level in language programs. ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC.

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 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.

"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."

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.

"If you want to take any kind of test, make sure that you have enough time to prepare for it. I usually try to prepare myself at least two months prior to the test just to allow myself to get used to the test and to study for the test."
