 Migrant Voice - MV members featured in The Daily Star in Bangladesh about TOEIC wins

On 8 August, The Daily Star in Bangladesh covered the stories of four Migrant Voice members which we have supported after they were wrongly accused of cheating on a Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC).

The article looks at the stories of Wahidur Rahman and Amin Sheikh, both from Bangladesh, alongside that of Rony Mondol from India, Mohammad Naved from Pakistan. All four have succesfully oveturned the Home Office's decision after years of legal battles. 

Migrant Voice has supported the victims of the TOEIC scandal for a number of years. This injustice unfolded in 2014, after BBC Panorama revealed cheating by some international students on an English language test known as TOEIC at two London test centres. 

In response, the UK government asked Educational Testing Service (ETS), the company that ran the test, to investigate. As a result of this, the Home Office accused almost 34,000 students of cheating. Their visas were immediately revoked or refused, and more than 2,400 were deported, while a further 22,000 were told their test results were “questionable”.
