. . . for an 11-year-old kid? Nobody in the UK Department of Education, nor the class teacher could. What does this say about us as a nation I wonder? "A secondary school pupil is being investigated after parents and classmates claimed he was as old as 30. It is thought he is an asylum seeker who joined Stoke High School, Ipswich, as a new pupil at the start of term. The school said it had contacted the Home Office in relation to the concerns but it was not prepared to comment further." It would be hilarious were it not so effing parodical. No wonder the Home Office 'was not prepared to comment further'? It might have made them seem incompetent. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-46070239
