解约的消息仅仅来自移民局内部对笔者的正常每日通报,此通报并非移民法,也不具有法律效力。因为从提交新的移民法修改草案直至通过审议成为法律还需要时间。

网易教育讯  4月18日,笔者公布了一封来自英国移民局临时移民办公室发给笔者的邮件,通知笔者由于在英境内ETS考点中存在的替考问题,英国内政部(Home Office)、签证与移民局(UKVI)与ETS(美国教育考试服务中心)的合约已到期并将不再续约,移民局将不再承认托福以及托业语言成绩,网络上一时掀起轩然大波。

英国移民局取消与ETS的合作后,建议所有英国境内的担保人,包括大学、雇主以及其他需要审核英语成绩的机构都应当取消相应的担保资格,那么直接受到此政策影响的将为持有托福/托业语言成绩,已拿到英国大学offer即将赴英的学生和其他持有此类语言成绩即将赴英的各类人士。

为此,笔者也接连收到大批中国学生咨询,表明他们对此政策即将带给自己的影响的担忧。一批即将赴英的托福/托业考生,甚至自发在微博上成立了“托福赴英维权者联盟”(http://www.weibo.com/u/5116857176),并公开联名致信ETS和UKVI,表达对此政策的抗议。信件内容如下:

A Joint Letter to UKVI

DearSir/Madam,

We are Chinese TOEFL test takers who havereceived offers from all kinds of universities in the UK. Recently, we aregreatly worried and concerned about the event that the Home Office had decidednot to extend SELT license with ETS, and TOEIC and TOEFL testing would no longer beoffered for U.K. visa-granting purposes because of TOEIC testing fraudhappened in the UK. If this policy treats all of innocent overseas TOEFLcandidates equally without any discrimination, it may have a serious impact onour study abroad plan, disturb our life totally and even shatter our studydreams.

As we all know,British educational system with the history and development of several hundredyears is famous for its high-quality education in the world. We regard UK asour first choice for its attractive British culture, diversified educationprocesses, broad range of courses and incomputable world leading educationinstitutions. However, now it seems that all of our eager expectation isbecoming the pie in the sky. We feel disappointed and unacceptable for thispolicy because all of Chinese TOEFL test takers are disciplined without anyfraud behaviors or illegal means and exert themselves for several months toobtain the high TOEFL scores. In China, the invigilation of TOEFL testing isvery strict and the entire process is under the scrutiny of surveillance camand several invigilators.

In addition, the previous fraudevent occurred in the UK, so it is really unfair and unwise to refuse theinnocent overseas TOEFL candidates. If UKVI no longer accepts TOEFLas a language test for visa, both the UK and overseas students will suffer fromsignificant losses. Taking a postgraduate student as an example, the totalexpenditure in the UK will be 30,000-40,000 pounds per year, including tuitionfees and life expenses. So far, we have confirmed that there are more than2,000 Chinese students with the TOEFL to apply for the universities in the UK.Therefore, UK may lose 60-80 millions of pounds per year. There are also manystudents affected by the measure in other countries. Due to the time issues,they may not have enough time to take alternative test, and have to turn to theapplication of other countries. Therefore, UK will suffer from enormouseconomic losses around several ten million pounds or even more for this action.UK will even lose lots of human resources and economic losses. The lossesmentioned above are just the short-term. It is predictable that losses in thefuture will be even more. The reason why we choose UK is that we all believethe UK has a good reputation in the long history. We all don’t want to see itsreputation or image damaged by this affair.

Furthermore, inFebruary, ETS and UKBA had claimed firmly that fraudevent would not influence the TOEFL test takers overseas to utilize the TOEFLfor U.K. visa-granting purposes on the websites. Thus, most of us have bookedour accommodations and flight tickets, paid for the deposit and even thetuition fee for our language courses. But now you declare this policy suddenly.We deem it shows your sheer irresponsibility. Even, it is the graduation seasonin China now, so most of us have no time to prepare for IELTS or PTE. What’sworse, IELTS test is one of the most competitive tests in China, so it isdifficult for us to get a test place in the short period.

Wetrust you may try to understand our situation and provide reasonable measuresto help us! We look forward to your timely reply.

Withkindest regards.

Nearly 200victims of Chinese TOEFL candidates

22ndApril, 2014

以上《致英国签证和移民局的联名信》要点如下:

1.      作为已拿到英国各大高校offer的中国托福考生,对此政策深感忧虑;

2.      中国的托福考试监管十分严格,而托业考试丑闻的发生地是在英国,不应为此牵连海外考生;

3.      若移民局不再承认托福考试成绩,英国和海外考生都将因此承受巨大损失;

4.      ETS和UKVI已在2月替考丑闻被揭露后声称,丑闻将不会影响海外考生,因此不应临时取消对托福/托业考试的承认。
