Why does the British Language School require judicial review of the student visa system?

According to UK-Chinese Times, the new student visa system promulgated by the Ministry of the Interior has been challenged by private language schools.

Several language schools in Oxfordshire have applied to the High Court for judicial review. They said that under the new policy, language schools were placed in an "impossible" situation. The Ministry of the Interior requires the Education Standards Bureau and the Independent School Inspectorate to supervise private language schools, but these two institutions have no right to supervise private language schools at all.

According to statistics, overseas students who come to attend preparatory courses will bring nearly 74 million pounds of economic benefits to Oxford every year. However, in order to crack down on illegal immigrants, the government introduced a new student visa system in April, which restricted the overseas enrollment rights of private language schools.

Before these schools are accredited, their enrollment quota is strictly limited, which is likely to halve the number of overseas students who come to study preparatory courses. This has brought millions of pounds of economic losses to many shops, bars and families that depend on international students for their survival.

As early as last year, English UK, an organization representing English language schools, submitted a judicial review of the student visa system. At present, we will continue to fight for the rights and interests of language schools through judicial channels. Tony Millns, the chairman of the institution, said: "Up to now, all education supervision institutions either have no legal supervision over language schools or cannot include language schools in their management regulations."

He said: "The Home Secretary has set an impossible condition for private language schools, and they will impose fines on those schools that do not meet the requirements. This is meaningless. "

According to the regulations of the Ministry of the Interior, all private colleges must meet the new standards before 20 12.

A spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior said: "The Ministry of the Interior, in conjunction with the Ministry of Commerce, Innovation and Skills, the Ministry of Education and relevant certification and supervision institutions, has formulated a certification and supervision system for these private language schools."

On behalf of the nine local language schools, the Oxford Private Senior Three and Undergraduate Preparatory School Alliance told the local media that if these international students from the Far East, Russia and African countries can't study in the UK, they will choose other countries, which will cause losses to British universities and the British education industry.

Fiona Pocock, vice-principal of Oxford International School, said that we welcome the strict management system, but the government cannot set standards for schools that simply can't meet it.

She said: "The response of the British Border Agency is very firm: whether this school is an aristocratic school or a pheasant school, the current political caliber is' immigration must be cut'."

"The city's economy will be hit by the decrease of international students. More importantly, in the long run, the outside world will also form a bad impression on Britain, especially in China. They have begun to feel that international students are not welcome in Britain. "
