Lingnan University Scraps Graduation English Proficiency Test in Favour of On-Campus Language Courses

Lingnan University has scrapped the requirement for undergraduates to pass an English proficiency examination before graduation, replacing it with on-campus language courses. The university's special adviser to the president on communications affairs, Lau Chi-pang, confirmed on Thursday that the university had decided there was no longer a need for a graduation examination, but the change has been questioned by some observers as a way to accommodate students whose English proficiency does not meet international standards.
