Teaching foreign students to go to the toilet British universities criticize students: this is too contemptuous.

This article "Teaching foreign students to go to the toilet is criticized by British university students: this is too contemptuous of people" was reprinted in the Information Times on February14 (liuxue86.com). The Information Times comprehensively reported that in the eyes of many British people, college students are the representatives of depravity. They watch TV during the day, get drunk at night and don't pay attention to hygiene, but most people still have confidence in their ability to go to the toilet. A British university doesn't think so. British media reported in February 1 1 that Swansea University in southern Wales published a "toilet guide" to guide students on how to use toilets correctly. The school explained that due to the cultural differences among foreign students, the toilets were damaged to varying degrees and caused health problems, so new guidelines were issued, but the students thought it was ridiculous.

School: Asian and European students don't know how to use toilets.

The school explained that these guidelines were posted because of "cultural differences". Because many foreign students from parts of Asia and Europe are studying at school, some foreign students are used to squatting in the toilet and don't know how to use it. Some habits of using toilets can lead to damage to articles and health problems.

A school spokesman said that the incorrect situation has been greatly improved since these guidelines were posted: "These guidelines are to help students from different cultural backgrounds. Swansea University students come from all corners of the country, and these illustrated guides are posted in the men's and women's toilets on campus. Since the publication of these guidelines, the health situation has been greatly improved. "

Student: This is too contemptuous.

However, the school's move caused controversy in Swansea University with 6.5438+0.8 million students. Stephanie Priddy, a law student, said, "We all need to sharpen our heads and study hard to get into this university, but they don't believe that we will go to the toilet? This is ridiculous and looks down on people. "

Hannah prosser, a junior majoring in English, said, "Most students think these guidelines are too funny, and then we realize that this is not a joke. Are you kidding? "

Swansea University has a long history. Established on 1920. It is one of the few garden-style seaside universities in Britain and has been selected as one of the top ten most beautiful universities in Britain.

It's not unique.

Australian universities have been criticized for being exclusive in teaching students to use toilets.

British media 65438+1October 1 1 reported that Macquarie University in Australia put up a poster on the cubicle door of the toilet to explain to foreign students how to use the toilet correctly. In order to prevent foreign students from not understanding English, posters use pictures to indicate correct and wrong toilet postures with check numbers and wrong numbers.

The instructions on the poster include: don't squat on the toilet seat, and don't go to the toilet next to the toilet; Women should throw personal hygiene products into the trash can, not throw them into the toilet and wash them away; The toilet seat cover must be put down after use; Wash your hands after using the toilet.

According to the university, the reason why such posters are put up in toilets is because cleaners always complain that foreigners can't use toilets, causing health problems.

A spokesman for Macquarie University said: "We have received many complaints from cleaning contractors that the sanitary conditions of toilets are very poor. They think that many students squat on the toilet instead of using it in the western way. We posted such posters only after consulting international student organizations. "

Scandals that discriminate against foreigners have frequently broken out in Australia recently. Not long ago, Theresa Gambarrow, a conservative Australian congresswoman, commented that new foreign immigrants should learn how to use deodorant and wait patiently in line, which aroused public anger and was criticized as outdated and racist.

"This is very good. If the school is well run, it should do as the Romans do. " -D.M. Kamarou Ding Mahmoud

"A recent study shows that more than one third of British people don't wash their hands after going to the toilet. Maybe these toilet guides are not for foreign students but for local students. "
