Blog 10 - Black Country College Loses UK Border Agency Licence
Bilston Community College has
been stripped of its “Tier 4 Visa” license by the UK Border Agency for “not fulfilling
duties” in qualifying for what the Agency calls a “Highly Trusted Status.” This
required “status” is needed for international students to be allowed admittance
and attendance rights to colleges in the UK.
An appeal has been submitted to regain the school’s visa license and
will be reviewed on December 20th of 2012. In the mean time, the 200 students have been
informed of this predicament and must be active participants in gaining the
schools “highly-trusted” status back.
The college-goers are responsible for regular and consistent classroom attendance,
while the teaching staff must be sure to disperse quality education during the
scheduled lecture times. These are only
two of the many factors that a college must perform to attain such a status
with the UK Border Agency. The schools
website attracts prospective students through its expression of having a “healthy
mix of international visa ones and local-based students” and states that more
than 60% of the student population deem “home” as somewhere overseas. Phil Page, a director of Bilston Community
College, is now making the protection of students his “primary concern,” and
with following the Border Agency’s requirements for obtaining a new Tier 4 Visa, I am sure Bilston’s international
students will see their graduation day, as intended. It is very important that this particular
community college update its status because as a college, students should achieve
the best educational experience possible. The UK Border Agency’s standards for
being deemed a “highly-trusted” educational facility are along the lines of
what any college should offer. With higher
education being as costly and crucial as it is, students should be subject to
the most professionally developed environment possible.
