The UK government has rejected proposals calling for a bespoke scheme to allow TOEIC scandal students to be able to ask for their cases to be reviewed.

The PAC's just-released report criticises the department for not proactively identifying the innocent students who got caught up in its decision to revoke thousands of visas, and urges it to rectify the situation.

The evidence used to accuse thousands of international students of cheating in the TOEIC test has been defined “confused, misleading, incomplete and unsafe” in the report summarising the inquiry of the APPG created to investigate the case.

Another investigation into the Home Office’s handling of the TOEIC case has been announced, as the Public Accounts Committee, said it will look into the Home Office’s response to cheating allegations.

A group of international students accused of having cheated on the TOEIC test has delivered a letter to the UK Home Secretary appealing for urgent clarity on the matter.

“Some people may have been wrongly accused and in some cases, unfairly removed from the UK”: this is the verdict of the UK’s National Audit Office which has assessed the case of international students who were accused of cheating in TOIEC exams needed to gain the right to study in the country.

A documentary exposing the impact that the Home Office decision to revoke thousands of visas after the TOEIC cheating scandal in 2014 had on the life of the international students affected has been launched.

The UK Home Office is being investigated on its handling of the so-called TOEIC cheating scandal, following fresh media attention on the plight of the "English language test victims" who had their studies curtailed due to concerns over fraud.
