Students keen on foreign edn urged to be vigilant
“A lot of students aspire to study abroad while their gullible parents back home are repeatedly getting duped by the fraudulent agencies and the yesterday’s ghastly suicide of a daughter and her father is the unfortunate example of the exploitation by the educational thugs “said Dr Johnson Kukatlapally, an educationist.
Guntur: “A lot of students aspire to study abroad while their gullible parents back home are repeatedly getting duped by the fraudulent agencies and the yesterday’s ghastly suicide of a daughter and her father is the unfortunate example of the exploitation by the educational thugs “said Dr Johnson Kukatlapally, an educationist.
Dr Johnson was speaking to The Hans India here on Tuesday about the suicides of Guntur based Sirisha who studied earlier in Australia and now acting as an agent for a Hyderabad based agency and her father Suryanarayana. And those fraudsters cheated the candidates to the tune of Rs.30 lakh alone from nine students, he lamented,
Police arrested all those students heading for Italy were caught with fake visas and this led to the suicides of the daughter and the father. Dr.Johnson stayed in New Zealand for more than 12 years and was awarded a PhD for his thesis on International trends of Indian students.
He said that the fraudulent activities of the people at the other end might be held responsible and ultimately, the victims decided to end their lives.
He pointed out that generally the interested students consult educational agents to fulfil their dreams of overseas study but the research showed otherwise. Several studies in this area show that students were being provided with inadequate information and misleading information.
Dr. Johnson who is providing guidance to the aspiring students with his Johnson Overseas Study Hub in Guntur advised the students to contact the Universities/ institutions and confirm the details of admission and its genuineness, Whenever the admission is genuinely provided and received by the students, there would not be any scope for issuing fake visas.
Dr.Johnson suggested that the students and parents should have a comprehensive idea about the unfamiliar academic system, unfamiliar evaluating procedures, language issues, different learning and teaching styles, cultural differences, climatic differences. The students should be well prepared before they leave India to overcome the inevitable challenges in a new environment of the study destination, he added.
