A Test For Filipinos Migrating To The United Kingdom

Filipinos applying to be permanent residents in the United Kingdom will have to be able to answer such questions as who is the head of the Church of England, when was Queen Elizabeth II crowned, or how many members does the Scottish parliament have.

Beginning Monday, applicants for permanent residence must pass a test in English as well as British politics, history and culture. Such tests are already required since 2004 for all those seeking British citizenship.

The test called “Life in the UK” is composed of 24 questions, including those about British history, the political system, customs and citizens’ rights. (The Manila Times)
