Ostensibly, the "non-British pupils" came to Britain for a reason.

There was a time, not so very long ago, when immigrants coming to the UK or the USA looking for work and a better life were also expected to learn the history and traditions of their new home and to immerse themselves in the 'melting pot' ....not in an effort to eradicate their own country's traditions from their lives entirely as the Left would have us believe, but to help them to fit in with the rest of America or the UK and to allow them to be successful....so that they wouldn't be outsiders.
Although our own citizenship test here in the USA is one that many native-born Americans would find challenging (an indictment of our public school system, not of people's patriotism) the Left continues to chip away at such knowledge and cultural requirements on both sides of the Pond. They would like nothing more than for there to be open borders and numerous ghetto enclaves of divergent cultures and languages....because the only way to administer and govern such a "country" would be via a heavy-handed, tyrannical and breathtakingly oppressive Socialist government.
Babel represents the pinnacle achievement of The Socialist Miracle.
