I just remembered something I'd meant to Worthless Foreign Degree a while back, but I only heard a clip of it on the BBC listener-response show Feedback, and now I can't even remember how long ago it was to find the right episode of Feedback. I'm pretty sure it was some time in the past couple of months, though.
A radio play about immigration, possibly based on true stories. The clip I heard has an Afro-Caribbean woman trying to apply for a job as a teacher at a UK school, and the headmistress bluntly telling her that, as far as she's concerned, a certificate from a Caribbean teacher's college is completely worthless. When the woman questions this, the head assumes (perhaps sarcastically) she's having difficulty understanding, even though she clearly speaks perfect English. And that was the end of the clip.
