foreign students
Declaring my hand. I am part owner in a flying school, and yes we do have some overseas students. It is a relatively small part of our business, but nevertheless important. The overseas students are no different than local students. I would suggest that the percentage of overseas that play up is probably no different to the local students. Perhaps the flight training industry needs to do some sort of screening prior to accepting enrolments, perhaps we need to address these issues much earlier on in their training and do something about it, perhaps we should be more selective in the agents we use to recruit students. Many of them give potential students unrealistic expectations. Finally, if we want to train students from overseas perhaps we should be more culturally sensitive and recognise that not everyone in the world perceives things the same as we do.
I am not suggesting that the students are right and the school wrong, or vice versa. We dont know enough of the facts to comment.
