I understand the international register but in one way it can be a red herring and the Government could be hiding behind it, because it is up to each state to regulate. International registers are one thing but it is up to a state to ensure all is well when people are being given visas. Responsibility comes with such a situation. In one way that is an overarching red herring. It is up to each country to regulate, ensure quality assurance and look after young students who go to language schools. The Government should not get off the hook.
