Amza met  with Chief Executive  Officer of the British Accreditation Council, Dr. Gina  Hobson on Friday  to discuss the issue of more than 100 Sri Lankan students left   stranded in London.  These students were dislodged following  the sudden closure of  Fullham & Chelsea College, Bloomsbury  Business School and London Business  Academy, as exclusively reported in  The Sunday Island last week.   Describing the talks as  "positive", Amza said that Dr. Hobson  has already spoken to few  colleges and universities in a bid to accommodate the  stranded  students.  However, they are yet to discuss the matter of  school  fees. Apparently, these students have paid over 1.5 million Sri  Lanka rupees to  their agents in Colombo to get placements in the three  educational institutions  that faced closure. They would find it  difficult to raise more funds again.  "I have also sought a  meeting with officers of the United  Kingdom Boarder Agency (UKBA) to  discuss the visa issue of these students", Amza  told The Sunday Island.  He  said he met with the stranded students and discussed their  plight.  They have now formed a committee to present their case and are closely   working with the High Commission to sort out the problem.  "It’s a difficult issue, no doubt", he noted. "There is no easy way out".<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" />Private colleges are going out of business because of the new rules. </blockquote>
