Guardian reports on students' letter and new inquiry

On 27 June, the Guardian published a story with the news that the Public Accounts Committee, an internal government watchdog, is now investigating the Home Office over its response to allegations of cheating on the English test known as TOEIC in 2014.

Amelia Gentleman also wrote about the letter sent to the Home Secretary on 27 June, signed by more than 100 of the affected students, and delivered by a small group of them to the Home Office.

She quoted from the letter:

“We are innocent but the government gave us no real way to defend ourselves, so we’ve been fighting for five years to clear our names. The Department you lead ruined our lives and stole our futures. It branded us as frauds, forcing us to bear a lifelong mark of shame, while never presenting any evidence at all against most of us.”
