‘Teacher who wouldn’t play the game
Judy Kraidy lost her job teaching foreign students because she refused to pass those who didn’t learn anything.
The experienced South African-born teacher was replaced when she failed 20 out of the 24 Chinese students in her accountancy class at the now-defunct New Zealand Institute of Commerce in central Auckland.
The school put another teacher in charge of the class and told Mrs Kraidy she needed to show a more “caring approach” to vulnerable, homesick Asian youngsters.
……….She said many students treated guaranteed-pass courses as a short cut to permanent residency, which made her angry as an immigrant who had worked hard to get into New Zealand legitimately.’
Chinese students are big business and some of these schools (and NZ Universities) have become little more than visa factories -and a backdoor into Australia as well. China is colonizing the Pacific on multiple fronts and our politicians are turning a blind eye to the long-term consequences, both for short term financial gain and out of a spineless refusal to face facts.
How long before Fiji, for example, becomes a Chinese base? Hell, never mind Fiji–how long before New Zealand has to sell the farm to China merely to stay afloat?
