He is a person of the highest integrity, and it is an honour to work with him'. In the podcast Justin shared his passion for empowering young people, they need to find you 'Who am I'; ' Why am I here'; and 'What is it I bring to the world'. Teachers need to prepare for a journey to discover the inner self, they must help young people prepare for uncertainty and give a perspective of human development to education.  When we address the challenges of learning and education, it must be people first and processes later. This alone will help us focus on building the skills and competencies that help people grow up with the right attitude and behaviour.

Bad data used in British Council’s Inside India report: Enrolment and Fresh Student Statistics has been used interchangeably.

While the U.K. and U.S. are the top two destinations of choice, students are increasingly applying to universities in Canada and Germany, where they perceive education to be cheaper and employment opportunities to be robust. Canada stands out in terms of perceived opportunities for permanent migration, while students see Germany as offering world-class opportunities in the automotive, engineering, and manufacturing industries. The number of Indian students in Australia, meanwhile, appears to be rebounding after a precipitous fall following a series of violent attacks on Indian students in 2009.

UK degree equivalence issue in India; New Bridge course solution & why it is still a half measure… one destined to fail.
At this time, some students desperate for a job in India with the government or to pursue PhD in India will have this new option of the bridging course but over a period of time this bridge course is bound to fail and there will be hardly any interest. A student who has studied overseas will not want to have spent money on something that will require him to come back and then do a further study…

It should have just made it an option for all the less than two year degrees from around the world and then it would have had more takers. The once it has no takers, the program will be dropped and momentum lost but UK degrees will then remain branded as inferior in content to the Indian degrees. Which is far from the truth, as we all know…
