針對近期美國教育考試服務中心(ETS)的考試項目在英國被暫停事件所引發的一些疑慮 ，英國內政部和美國教育考試服務中心(ETS) 發表聯合聲明：在英國以外參加考試並申請簽證的考生並不受此次事件影響。英國內政部已經確認申請人在英國以外參加考試並申請簽證的，托福和托業成績依然有效。這些申請會照常由移民局官員審核。以下是聲明原文：
“As there has been some confusion regarding the recent suspension of ETS tests in the UK, the Home Office and ETS have collaborated to provide this clarification to the higher education community.
The UK Home Office has directed ETS to suspend TOEIC and TOEFL testing at this time in the UK for those who plan to use their scores for UK immigration purposes. This action was taken after evidence of fraudulent TOEIC testing in the UK was presented in the BBC program Panorama.
The TOEFL test was not involved in any way in the fraudulent activities reported in the Panorama program. However, as the Home Office license is with ETS as a whole it covers both the TOEIC and TOEFL tests. As a result of the suspension of the TOEIC test, the TOEFL test was also suspended.
At this time, individuals already in the UK who are planning to apply for a visa may continue to use a TOEIC or TOEFL test to provide evidence of English proficiency for their application but applications submitted from within the UK with a TOEFL or TOEIC score will be set aside at this time.
For individuals who are both applying for a visa and testing outside the UK there is no change. The Home Office has confirmed that TOEFL and TOEIC tests may continue to be used when a person is both testing and applying for a visa outside the UK. The application will be reviewed by immigration officials as before.
Over the next 30 days ETS will work with the Home Office to provide information and take any necessary actions in order to restore confidence in the TOEIC test.”
針對近期美國教育考試服務中心(ETS)的考試項目在英國被暫停事件所引發的一些疑慮 ，英國內政部和美國教育考試服務中心(ETS) 發表聯合聲明如下:
英國內政部已經要求美國教育考試服務中心目前暫停在英國進行的用于移民目的的托福和托業考試。在英國廣播公司(BBC)的《廣角鏡》欄目揭露英國托業考試中存在的造假問題之後，英國內政部采取了這一舉措。
托福考試並沒有涉及此次《廣角鏡》欄目報道的考試造假行為。但是由于英國內政部的許可是授權給美國教育考試服務中心的，包含托業和托福兩個考試項目，因此暫停托業考試也導致了托福考試被暫停。
目前，已身在英國的個人考生如計劃申請簽證，依然可以提交其托業及托福考試成績，作為其英語能力的證明，但是從英國國內提交的使用托業和托福成績的申請將被暫時擱置。
在英國以外參加考試並申請簽證的考生並不受此次事件影響。英國內政部已經確認申請人在英國以外參加考試並申請簽證的，托福和托業成績依然有效。這些申請會照常由移民局官員審核。
在未來30天內，美國教育考試服務中心會向英國內政部提供必要的信息並采取一切必要措施以重建對托業考試的信心。
