As an aside to this, there is considerable cost incurred to the already stretched Home Office budget each year for translation and interpretation. Another reason for clearly setting out linguistic requirements for entry PDQ.
What do you mean by "setting out linguistic requirements for entry"? are you suggesting that every person who travels to the UK has to be able to speak English?For example it's typical for a university to set an entrance requirement of IELTS 6.5 for admission to study at Masters level or above. A score of 6 means "User has generally effective command of the language despite some inaccuracies, inappropriacies and misunderstandings. Can use and understand fairly complex language, particularly in familiar situations."
6.5 is a requirement, occasionally someone with a 6 will be admitted subject to taking a course. You can get students with a 6.5 pass where it is virtually impossible to communicate verbally on simple everyday matters, as for academic supervision sometimes have to fall back to speaking in their native language where possible, which frankly is very much sub optimal from all viewpoints.

Point is that if there can be such discrepancy between recorded score and real ability opens up questions about the integrity of the regime. We know there's corruption ongoing, and that's just academic tests, imagine the situation for general applicants.

One thing we do know is the developing world's general attitude to bribery, corruption and fair play.

I am not saying the BA is perfect its just deporting people is hard.
Good point. I guess, as part of the overall political solution, the governments of these nations will need to be prevailed upon to make this process easier. There is bound to be a quid pro quo.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
