In the UK, two teachers were dismissed from Oxford University for bribery. According to RIA Novosti , John Platt and Mary-Jamin Hilton lost their teaching work in the Oxford Pembryk College founded in 1624 after they agreed to a bribe in the amount of 300 thousand pounds to "help" a wealthy businessman in the reception of his son to study.
Considering that under the guise of such a businessman, a journalist of one of the British publications was specially sucked in, this scandalous story, of course, became the property of the publicity of the British public. The press provides excerpts from an unspoken sound recording carried out during the conversation by a journalist who leave no doubt about the essence and motives of the actions of two teachers of a respected university.
The leadership of Oxford condemned the actions of John and Mary Jein and hastened to distance himself from an unpleasant incident, saying that no one was authorized to do this in this way.
As the British media recalls in connection with this, Oxford was previously criticized for the so -called "elite approach" to an appointment to study, in which knowledge is not always the main criterion for the selection of students.
