Kenyans are writing essays for UK students
>These are “shadow scholars”, highly educated Kenyans who earn a living by working for essay mills. They are contracted to ghostwrite essays, PhD dissertations and other academic papers for students across the world, who pay a fee then pass off the work as their own.
>The best paid can earn as much as a doctor in Nairobi. Pricing can range from less than £1 a page to thousands of pounds for a whole dissertation. Adrian has written essays for students at the universities of Oxford and Leeds, among others.
>The role is not unique to Kenya. There are similar writers in India, Pakistan and any other number of countries, including the UK, but Kenya has been identified as a hotspot, with an estimated 40,000 ghostwriters working in Nairobi alone.
Didn't know Kenyans were this smart

it is a years old story. there have been internet agencies doing this for over 10 years. kenyan post-graduate holders can easily write essays for UK undergraduates. it became a widely discussed issue during covid when students were sent home and lecturers knew none of the new students, so couldn't have any idea what was being done by students and what wasn't.
it is very real. you can find video news reports where they go and interview the agency owners who talk openly about it. it isn't some kenyan secret, it is a decent job.

i would be very surprised if this doesn't happen in every country in the world that has academic traditions. as usual people focus on the uk because our media is accessible and the spite of lesser nations is neverending.
this has also happened for decades at least, probably hundreds of years. i recall it was a subplot in the tom sharpe novel porterhouse blue published in the 70s. the paper mills have become more blatant in recent years, i saw some adverts for them on the tube when i was last in london. they mainly advertise to chinese and indian students because cheating is second nature to them.
now there are ai tools and shit like grammarly but that's another story

>UK students
How brown are those students? This is probably just kenyan "students” getting some other nigger from their village to use chatGPT on an essay.

Of course. You really think that a computer could read something in a split second and compartmentalize a reply? Only a human could do that. Adrian IS AI. That's why AI makes so much money. He's actually the world's first trillionaire

The only people who use essay mills are jeets and chinks, hundreds of them get caught every semester in Australia
