Because I’m having to say this about 50 billion times…

@Mr_JSheffield @recusant_raja @SkyNews @BethRigby @jessphillips @elonmusk Have you looked at the 7 recommendations IICSA made on CSE? Do you think that the same institutions that presided over & may have been involved in this are the right people to fix it? When there has so far been no actual examination of the who, what, when, where & how

@JajaPhD They are not taking their qualifications. They were here on a student visa to get an education. This should not be a route to becoming a resident. They are different things.

@Gus_JordM There are very few adult British people who are unable to communicate beyond the expected level of a young primary school aged child and they all have intellectual disability. A-level equivalent in English as a foreign language is a very low bar to reach…

@ThatAnni @BigglesTheThird @radfemlez they also have a long history of frontline epidemiology. They tend to be quite knowledgeable.

@ThatAnni @BigglesTheThird @radfemlez GPs in the UK maybe are better.

@notnew927 @Gus_JordM Or how depressing it is watching SEND kids be punished because they don’t like their in classroom support (because they can’t understand them).

[BK @kfvalues]

@Alexx12789 @Aaron_SW1 @Gus_JordM Indeed. It’s an incredibly low standard.

@AmmarKazmi write a short email is an incredibly low standard to apply to migrants who are supposed to add benefit to our economy.

[BK @kfvalues]

@AmmarKazmi Most Brits absolutely do have a much higher functional standard of English than A-level equivalent English as a foreign language. Expecting economic migrants to reach the lofty standard of being able to mostly correctly understand what is said, engage in basic conversation &

@narindertweets A-level English as a foreign language is the absolute bare bones basic level of English & we should have higher expectations than that. In particular I do not want doctors and nurses who can’t communicate, it is dangerous.

@noahfinnadams We don’t, immigrants aren’t being expected to do an A-level in English language. They are being expected to do an A-level in English as a second language which is a fairly low standard. I think we should expect a better standard of English than that TBH. It’s the absolute basics.
