Immigration In UK
Immigration In UK
Are there any hopes for Minors (young ones) who are not responsible for their immigration status in the UK'Actually the DREAM Act in the USA applies to students who came to the country as minors, and are therefore not responsible for their immigrant status. According to the US Supreme Court in 1982 explained that the current immigration law provides no legal path to citizenship for these students — they are in limbo — and so once they graduate they cannot become productive members of society. The DREAM Act provides a simple legislative remedy and hope for these Minors.There are obviously many young children who migrated to the United Kingdom many years ago and had since completed their higher education and university degree but have no regular status to carry on as a normal UK citizen.Therefore they can not contribute to the economy in any meaningful way and indeed to their own life and their immediate family.Could these individuals be exposed to crime in other survive in the UK since the legal expense involved in making an application to the UK immigration authority is beyond their reach.What can be done to help these hopeless individual – Suggestion please from member of the public.While I am waiting for response, this is little word of encouragement for anyone in this category.IF YOU HAVE A DREAM – FOLLOW YOUR DREAM, DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU TELL YOU THAT YOUR ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH, OR THAT YOU CAN’T MAKE IT. DO NOT LET YOUR PERFORMANCE BE JUDGE BY AWARDS BUT BE JUDGE BY THE QUALITY OF YOUR PERFORMANCE.Larry Jones

Education in Singapore
Education in Singapore is managed by Ministry of Education (MOE), which directs education policy. The ministry controls the development and administration of public schools which receive government funding but also has an advisory and supervisory role to private schools. For both private and public schools, there are variations in the extent of autonomy in their curriculum, scope of government aid and funding, tuition burden on the students, and admission policy.[1]
Children with disabilities attend special special education (SPED) schools run by Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs), which are and partially funded by the Ministry of Education. Education spending usually makes up about 20 percent of the annual national budget, which subsidises public education and government-assisted private education for Singaporean citizens and furnishes the Edusave programme, but the costs are significantly higher for non-citizens.
In 2000 the Parliament of Singapore passed the Compulsory Education Act,[2] which codified compulsory education for children of elementary school age, and made it a criminal offence if parents fail to enroll their children in school and ensure their regular attendance.[3] Exemptions are allowed for homeschooling or full-time religious institutions, but parents must apply for exemption from the Ministry of Education and meet a minimum benchmark.[4]
In Singapore, the English language is the first language learned by half the children by the time they reach preschool age and becomes the primary medium of instruction by the time they reach primary school. English is the language of instruction for most subjects, especially mathematics and the natural sciences, except where other languages are concerned. Certain schools, such as secondary schools under the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) which encourages a richer use of the mother tongue may teach occasionally in English and another language. There are also other schools which have been experimenting with curricula that integrate language subjects with mathematics and the sciences, using both English and a second language.
Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew related the idea of English as a common language in Singapore that both connected citizens of all ethnic-cultural backgrounds, so no ethnic group is forced to learn the language of another, and tied Singapore to the world economy.
