Ban universities from requesting for English qualifications from Nigerians

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

I would appreciate if universities in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland stop asking Nigerians applying to study with them for English qualifications as Nigerians are an English speaking nation. With English being the first language in the country over 99% of Nigerians can speak fluent English

The is is because the cost of acquiring an English certificate from organizations like IELTs can be diverted towards other means and also the delays of IELTs result can cause a defying of admission to the next year when students pass the deadline of submission of an English certificate. Most times caused by the examination board at IELTs for late issuance of certificate

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a decision for individual universties, not the UK Government or Parliament.
