Irish Born Chinese

Of all places I would have thought that Canada would not be such a barrier to Chinese students, but apparently from this Canadian article about troubles facing Chinese students there is still a long way to go. Maybe it is true, that Chinese only go to the Chinese for help. But there are extremes of “individuals who make it”:http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/0700learning/0200pupils/tm_objectid=14552511%26method=full%26siteid=50081%26headline=top%2dclass%2dstudent-name_page.html. Although that use to put me off studying, knowing that students from the Far East always fare better academically. Can’t really say English is a drawback, as this is picked up real quickly because of the social aspect. Possibly the only thing in Ireland would be the fact that you need a European language as well to get into 3rd level eduacation. (Heh, I cannot vouch for that myself, I am crap at languages, except speaking French, I only love that aspect. )
