UK point-based system for student visa
UK introduces point-based system for student visa
Islamabad, Feb 20: The United Kingdom has introduced a new point-based system to
assess applications for grant of student visa. The system will come into
practice from March. Speaking at a press conference here on Thursday,
Britain's Deputy High Commissioner Ray Kyles told media persons that the system
had been introduced to streamline visa application process for Pakistani
students. Under the new system, a student needs to have 40 points to
qualify for the grant of the visa. A student would require an acceptance letter
from the educational institution he/she intends to attend. The respective
educational institution would become the sponsor for the student, who would
fetch 30 points. For the remaining 10 points, a student would have to show
evidence for having enough finances to cover his/her course fee and monthly
living expenses for one year. Mr Kyles said with the required documents
attached to the visa application, the high commission would respond back to the
prospective student within one month. Otherwise, an applicant would have the
right to inquire about his/her application. "Since we need one month for
processing a visa application, therefore, students are advised to apply keeping
this time limit in their mind," he said. Speaking on the occasion,
British Council Pakistan Director Sue Beaumont said they were increasingly
working on a number of projects to further strengthen educational institutions
in Pakistan. With every passing year, academic and research partnership
between British and Pakistani universities is deepening. More scholarships are
available to Pakistani students to study in the UK, and efforts are also being
made for teachers training in Pakistan, she added. At present, 21 PhD
students are being funded by the British Council on attachments to the UK
universities to enable them broaden their experience of research techniques.
During 2009, there will be 10 talented research exchanges in which
British and Pakistani researchers will work together on exciting projects that
will enhance their contribution to and understanding of international research
priorities. Dawn

Education officials found guilty: Corruption
Sialkot: After completing an inquiry against suspended district officer
(colleges) Raja Zulfiqar Ali and his clerk, Riasat Ali, for their corruption,
the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has recommended registration of a
corruption case against the two. ACE Deputy Director (Sialkot) Maqsood
Ahmad Lone said that accused DO Raja Zulfiqar Ali and clerk Riasat Ali
extorted hundreds of thousands of rupees during the process of recruitment of
Class IV employees for colle1ges. He said in their report to the ACE
Director, Gujranwala, a corruption case had also been recommended against former
EDO (education) Dr Arshad and deputy DEO Yousaf Gill, who allegedly extorted
money from people while recruiting teachers. DEMO: A large number of
candidates for educators' vacancies held a peaceful demonstration on Tuesday
around the offices of the education department as a protest against glaring
mistakes in the lists of candidates selected or rejected for the interview.
According to them, their names were missing from both the lists (of
selected and rejected candidates) for the interview process regarding the
recruitment of the Educators in Sialkot district by the education department.
Several female candidates said that they had come here from Daska,
Sambrial, Pasrur and far-off places to see the lists. Shakeela Bibi said the
list contained the name of Shakeel Bibi with change in father's name.
Other candidates Saiqa Bashir, Kinza, Shamsa, Khadija and Farzana
alleged that the education department officials were under pressure from local
politicians to accommodate their nominees. DCO Atta Muhammad Khan has,
meanwhile, ordered a probe into matter. He assured the candidates that the
recruitment process would be transparent.
Students made to build toilets
Sialkot: The management of the Government Jamia Boys High School, Sialkot,
forced students to do labour and work like masons for constructing some toilets
in the school during the study hours. Students said that they had
been doing the labour for the last one week. As the school head was not
available, some clerical staff said the practice promoted a sense of self-help
and hard work among students. Dawn
