Examination of Witnesses (Question 100)
MR SHUFKAT
RAZAQ, MS
SAJDA MAJEED
AND MR
MARIAN SIWERSKI
4 MARCH 2008
Q100 Mr Hands: Can I just ask a final
question about whether anybody provided English language classes
to recent arrivals from Poland, whether it be employers, the local
authority or privately, and if that is a priority?
Mr Siwerski: No, English language,
for example when I was here the first day when I got to the office
and met my boss I told him I want to learn the English language
my colleague and I—because I came here together with my
colleague—went to Burnley College, which was English language
and because we are Catholic and here is a Catholic Church, Father
Brian organised a course for people from Poland. I came and learnt
the English language once every week.
Chair: Right, well, I am afraid we have
not been able to explore all the topics we might have wanted to
but thank you very much indeed. As I say, if there are additional
points do write into us. Thank you very much.
