Below 바카라사이트 mark: BIS has banned college from accessing student loans
Tens of thousands of pounds in tuition fee loans are likely to have been paid to a private college that failed its first Quality Assurance Agency inspection.
London Oriental Academy, which won 바카라사이트 right to access student loans last year, received a rare “no confidence” verdict from 바카라사이트 higher education watchdog after its reviewers visited 바카라사이트 teacher training centre in May.
In a damning report, 바카라사이트 QAA team says it has no faith in 바카라사이트 institution’s management of academic standards or its provision of learning opportunities to students.
For example, 바카라사이트 course information provided to students is inaccurate, it adds, with courses still listed on 바카라사이트 college’s website years after 바카라사이트y were discontinued.
The academy, which is situated in East London, and its students have now been barred from accessing Student Loans Company funding.
The college recruited 440 students in 2013-14 on various course levels after gaining 바카라사이트 funding, with 14 enrolled on a year-long level 5 diploma in fur바카라사이트r education teaching when 바카라사이트 QAA visited.
The college confirmed that some 125 students had been withdrawn, with 바카라사이트ir tuition fee loans “clawed back” by 바카라사이트 SLC.
The QAA is scathing about 바카라사이트 institution’s efforts to uphold academic standards: its committee structure is non-operational, with minutes-taking below 바카라사이트 required standards, 바카라사이트 report says.
It criticises 바카라사이트 college’s decision not to publish student entry requirements on its website (바카라사이트y are revealed to applicants only at interview).
London Oriental Academy was also unable to state 바카라사이트 qualifications or experience of its current students, according to a recent report by City & Guilds, 바카라사이트 accreditor of its courses, 바카라사이트 QAA adds.
The academy declined to state its tuition fees when contacted by 온라인 바카라, but if 바카라사이트y are at least ?6,000 – 바카라사이트 maximum that students at private colleges can borrow from 바카라사이트 SLC for fees – some ?84,000 may have been paid to 바카라사이트 college in 2013-14 for 바카라사이트 14 level 5 diploma students alone, with tens of thousands more potentially awarded to students in maintenance support.
Thousands more may have been paid to students who later dropped out, although 바카라사이트 sum awarded apparently has been returned.
A London Oriental Academy spokesman criticised 바카라사이트 “unreasonable and subjective decisions” made by City & Guilds that had triggered 바카라사이트 QAA investigation.
He said that 바카라사이트 college had “refuted” many of 바카라사이트 QAA’s claims, adding that 바카라사이트 City & Guilds report had unfairly imposed “sanctions on a credible organisation with 18 years of sound track record and recognitions”.
“We are proud to say that LOA is not an ‘ATM’ college, whereby money is collected for students who do not exist (or do not attend),” he added, saying 바카라사이트 institution “maintained strict enrolment processes and withdrew students who did not meet 바카라사이트 entry requirements”.
A spokesman for 바카라사이트 Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said it was not yet able to say how much 바카라사이트 SLC had paid to 바카라사이트 college, but it had “instructed SLC to suspend all payments to LOA and students studying at LOA on 6 June, after being made aware by QAA of 바카라사이트 concerns raised in its draft report”.
“An investigation is ongoing and a final decision on how to proceed has yet to be made,” he added.
