Ahmed

Ahmed is from the Middle East/Asia area. He lives with a foster family and has a social worker and support worker. Ha has no family here. He has many problems relating to his status and the home office.
He attends some of the voluntary sessions. He only attends these if others who speak his first language attend. He takes some footage of trips the class goes on. He is a low level IT use and has attended some of the IT sessions to help with basic editing skills. Most of these sessions are to help him with IT literacy rather that any editing he may do. He becomes angry that he cannot do what he wants to do on the computer. He sees others working faster than him. He tells his class tutor that he does not learn any English in the afternoon sessions, and that people keep talking.
He feels that dealing with his home office problems is more important than his class attendance. He tells me that he does not like it when people talk too much. He is also a low level language user and is amongst many more able students. I hardly see him for the rest of the year.
