Evendine College was a chain of TEFL schools, operating five campuses London, England and satellite schools in Brazil and Poland. It was exposed by the Evening Standard for providing false information to immigration authorities, allowing registered students to work illegally.[1]
[edit] Closure
.[2] Allegations indicate that the school allowed students to obtain work visas, despite enrollees admitting that they would not be attending classes.[3] The staff was left without pay, and an estimated 3000 students lost their tuition for the term, as well as money paid for lodging with British families.The closure has spawned concerns about regulation in the private sector.[4]
