Whereas I would support a 'Crackdown on Bogus Colleges'
I was not able to find any initiatives in the above news item and it's associated links.
Maybe I missed them.
I found lots of information about crackdowns on students applying for visa's.
In my view these bogus colleges are the instigators in attracting bogus students and awarding bogus diploma's.
I feel it would be more cost effective and fairer to close all bogus colleges right now, which would reduce visa applications.
Just my personal opinion.

I'm sure she'd be pleased to hear from you - mayt@parliament.gov.uk
She might join you at college when you are taking your spelling course. You can also give her an update of what's "not in your name"
And one I would entirely agree with, Terpe. As long as these bogus colleges continue to "slip through the net", *aspiring students from overseas are likely to be lulled - read scammed - into building up false hopes ... that will, inevitably, lead to tears of disappointment when *their hopes and visions of a brighter future are cruelly shattered.
Likewise ... and I can visualise the impact the introduction of this confounded 'English Language Test' is going to have in encouraging fake colleges to suddenly spring up out of nowhere.
I opened a college to help retarded people ..... but I only ever got Mancs signing up

From the UKBA site - this is the crackdown on the so called colleges. Sounds like they will have to be properly inspected and accredited so Mr Man can no longer open up one above his grocery shop
"From April 2012, any institution wanting to sponsor students will need to be classed as a Highly Trusted sponsor, and will need to become accredited by a statutory education inspection body by the end of 2012. The current system does not require this, and has allowed too many poor-quality colleges to become sponsors."
I don't know why they are giving them till Dec 12 though
My mate drove a vanload of indian "Students" from Hatton Cross to a GPO sorting office in Woking last christmas,they were here studying at whats presumably a bogus college in Hounslow as they had all worked for the last 20 days without a break,the agency they worked for had a number of complaints as these guys were sorting mail and some of them couldnt even speak english
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Could well be,the same group of "Students" were handing out water to passengers in Heathrow on christmas day and boxing day if I remember correctly
