Further education institutions are trying to attract more international students into the UK to study in order to make more money.
TEFL qualified people could help teach English abroad to youngsters who may want to travel to the UK to study in the future.
On July 20th, the Guardian reported that some colleges such as Warwickshire have created links with colleges overseas as a way of attracting international students.
Most international students spend a year at college in their home country, possibly learning English, before travelling to the UK to study.
Geoff Pine, principal of Greenwich Community College, told the newspaper: “While many colleges will look at recruiting international students as a way of diversifying income, you have to know what your product is and what the particular markets are.”
He added that most of the college’s international students were from West Africa although they were still a minority.
Therefore, people teaching English in Africa may help those who wish to study in Britain.
From March this year, immigrants who wish to settle in Britain to work or study have to achieve an intermediate level of English before doing so.
