Foreign students scammed

First, news about attracting foreign students to Finland.

Many foreign students are disappointed because they have been lied to.

Indian students tell Yle that they were promised education, scholarships and work in Finland from Arcada University of Applied Sciences.

Students moved to Finland and paid expensive tuition fees to Arcada.

However, the students were disappointed because they were lied to. They did not get jobs or scholarships.

For example, Teena Abraham sold her home in India so she could pay for her studies at Arcada.

Abraham couldn’t find work and had to return to India. He is now heavily in debt.

Arcada’s principal admits the school made mistakes. He apologizes to the students.

Police are looking for a drone again

Then the news about drone sightings.

The police investigated a new drone sighting in Parikkala today.

However, there was no drone. The police began a search because a lot of black smoke had been seen in the area.

However, it wasn’t a drone that had fallen. The smoke was coming from someone burning trash.

Three military drones have fallen in Finland. Two drones were found on Sunday. They fell in Luumäki and Kouvola.

One military drone was found in Parikkala on Tuesday.
