Proposed Tier4 Changes International Education
|
Proposed changes to Tier 4 The change which Tier4 caused to the International Education sector was profound. The Government main intention was to rid from the system bogus colleges, streamline the issuing of study visas. The potential impact could be to turn legitimate international students away from the UK, redundanceies in language schools secondary schools colleges and universities and the ensuant net loss to the UK economy. The Government is holding a review on the Points Based System in December 2009 and will cover areas : Should the minimum level of qualification that can be studied through the PBS be raised from NQF level 3? Should the minimum level of English language qualification that can be studied in the UK through the PBS be raised from CEFR level A2? Should English language testing be introduced for all courses of NQF level 5 and below, including English language courses, and if so, through what mechanism? Should access to vocational courses be restricted? Should we introduce a differential approach for countries which have historically been sources of illegal migration, raising the minimum level of qualification and introducing stricter tests for individuals from those higher risk countries? Should we restrict the work rights attached to student visas? Should we place limits on the progression of students on courses up the qualifications scale without their returning to their home countries? |
