Due to a lack of care in Slovakia, Karol is going to lose his sight completely in the next couple of years. Although the English school is helping him in every way possible, not everything can be set right. He only has a visual impairment that restrains him from reading small letters and seeing the blackboard. Yet after he moved to Leicester with his parents, the English school found out that Karol is not stupid. According to his teachers back in Slovakia, Karol is “stupid”. In Slovakia, he would not be able to sit such test at all. Next year he will sit an important test, which will influence his future career. “The school immediately told his parents it would be best if Ondrej’s brother switched to a special school.” She does not speak English? We will teach her. However, here in Britain, in a group full of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Somalian children her language barrier is of almost no concern to anyone. Sooner or later, probably during the first four years of her primary education, she would be sent to a special school. With such language skills, she would not last in the Slovak education system for long. At home she speaks almost only Romani and barely understands any Slovak or English. Despite the fact that even much more experienced English-speakers would have trouble understanding the accent of her teacher. However, after few hours she plucks up her courage and during the time a song about a small rabbit is being sung, she is already one of the liveliest children in the class.
Her parents dressed her in her most beautiful coat and the whole day is going to be filmed by Slovak documentarian Hannah Skrinar.Īt first, Galina is nervous and hides behind every corner. It is the first day in a new kindergarten for 4-year-old Galina. In one of these houses, an important day is just starting to take shape.
In the background there is a concrete chimney, a distinguishing mark of Tinsley, a district in the city of Sheffield. There is a brown brick block in the front, such a typical scenery for the whole of England.
