Consultancy firms and students
Every year a good number of students are going abroad for higher education. They are taking help from student consultancy firms. In most cases parents are allured by the advertisement of the student consultancy firms. Student consultancy firms are hiding information and giving false information for doing business. If they give proper information to the students and their parents then they can mentally prepare themselves for any circumstances. After getting the information from the student consultancy firms, their expectations go high. But practically they are facing a different situation. Just for example, the UK has graded their colleges & universities in A and B and imposed restrictions on recruiting students. The tuition fee of the colleges varies from 2500 to 4000 pounds. Most of these colleges do not have enough space to accommodate the students as well as don't have enough classrooms. After the economic recession, the UK has made some tricky decisions for economic development. The highest revenue comes from the education sector. For that they have relaxed their immigration rules. Their main target is to collect the cash money from all over the world. In the last six months approximately 30 thousand students have gone to the UK from Bangladesh for higher education. But most of them have the plan to do job there. It is known to all that due to economic recession people are losing jobs all over the world. In this situation how can you expect to get job there? But the student consultancy firms are still informing that it is very easy to get a job in London.
It is to inform the government of Bangladesh that the student consultancy firms are doing business after taking the trade license from the government. So they don't have any moral obligation to the government or to the people. It is seen that many student consultancy firms were closed after they took a good amount of money from the students.
So , I must request the ministries concerned to look into this matter.
