I wonder how it will work out, I remember a bunch of Arab engineers that went through Halton, the instructor started teaching them and and one of the students started talking over him, pulling him up, the student informed the instructor he was the only one to speak English so was translating, come exam time the student read out all the questions and the papers were duly filled in........... The all scored exactly the same, on each question.
There was a corfuffle when they were going to send one student home early, they were informed that if he went home early his family would be dishonoured and severe penalties would result against him and his family as the state had paid for them, he was kept in his class and went home with them having passed.
