Thanks sis for your help. My cousin teaches Introductory Technology and has a B.Ed in it. Is she a good candidate for the OTT route? or should she just go through a Masters route in Education?

I bought your idea of MSc in Mathematics but d tuition in the neighborhood of GBP20K is too high for my budget of about 10 to 13K. I also considered management as u suggested but tuition is still on high side for d ones I saw. Though I just fall in love with MSc Energy and Environmental Management (with Advanced Practice in Teeside university) with d following reason 1. tuition is 7500 per year for 2 years which appears flexible to me. 2. Environmental Specialist is in UK shortage occupation which is another advantage. My challenge now is after doing this course and still pursue QTS through the other route as advised, will the MSC in Energy and Environmental management still be of advantage(as management course) for him to climb the leadership position in teaching.

Anyone that applied to the school should please help,God bless you.

Ok lets just pretend as if we don't know that this marriage is in ICU. :- bros I am hoping not at all. Since she got this indenfite leave last year she has bin acting strange, all plans still hanging to join her.

You can compare the UK to Nigeria on individual bases because there are Nigerians who are doing very well than many us here:- please why do you say so that most Nigeria are doing very well than some of u guys in UK? I taught the UK have every good thing in place and their money is strong and their pay is higer than we in Nigeria. Most bankers I know in Nigeria are earning very good money compare to bankers in the UK, please why? Thank you for your response.

zaynabola:
Thank you very much
I will try that

realking:
Yes

realking:
Thank u so much and God bless U. He is not in UK. It is an investment I want to make in my younger brother. He is a Mathematic Teacher in Nigeria. I pray he makes good use of the opportunity.

zaynabola:
Insufficient funds to be specific.
I can manage to pay 30%

realking:
Good afternoon Stenon,

Please what is ur advice to someone going for PGCE with the hope of getting QTS in Mathematics considering the fact that teaching mathematics is in UK shortage occupation list. Is it a good investment for easy stay after graduation compared to going for MSC instead of PGCE.

mamacajah:
So how does the UK NARIC thing work? is it like the ECA process for Canada? Could someone throw some light on this please? Thanks!

Aprokodaughter:
Yes o good reviews. I mailed them like three weeks ago since I was meant to have an interview with them May 20th. They actually responded that my application is still with the department.

Will have to wait next month which I can't wait again decided to firm DMU. So I can focus on other things like school fees and other stuff just incase VAC opens this month or next.

Aprokodaughter:
In my opinion she should go to GCU, its better to pay for ielts exams or the school english test exam except she has the money to pay for the 3 years.

GCU was my first choice o they have refused to answer me since February decided to firm another school in England.

LaaJiblik:
Recalcitrant people would rather choose to advice candidates that IELTS is waste of money.
They will not even leave it at the fact that other people have already answered the question clearly and concisely. They would rather prefer to show their ‘intelligence’ by suggesting that candidates choose other schools or courses which do not require IELTS.

Yesterday, I asked a question on this forum to gauge why some people seem to have a morbid fear of IELTS. I wanted to get a fair idea, then offer my perspective. Two or three posts later, someone asked a specific question about IELTS. The person received an appropriate answer from another member. But someone else ignored that 1st answer and decided to push through his own ‘agenda‘ of saying the IELTS exams is useless (without recourse to peculiarities of the OP).


In addition to your two ‘case studies’ above, I too personally know someone who went to the UK for an MSc. The uni required IELTS. They refused to write, called the uni all sort of names. They applied to another Uni (same course) and somehow managed to ‘pressure ‘ the Uni into accepting NECO.
Well, they finished the MSc, spent £500 to register with HCPC. Spent a lot more money to have certificates verified in Nigeria.
Final hurdle: HCPC required IELTS (which they didn’t have). It was too late to register and write as visa was running out. Guess who is back in Portharcourt? Hustling hard and wishing they had written IELTS ?

Bottom line: IELTS is not waste of money. Maximum you may spend is NGN 100k.
If anyone were to ask me whether IELTS is mandatory or not for UK admission, I would simply say:
It depends on the course and on the school too. Best person(s) to answer is your prospective school.

POP2CECI:
Thank you for your response.

Yes, I've submitted to the two schools. I will check out Glasgow and East Anglia today.

POP2CECI:
Good morning Fam,

I’m looking forward to applying for M.Sc in Data Science/Data Analytics in UK for September 2020 session. Kindly assist with universities with full tuition waiver for First class graduates. From my research I got to know about Sheffield Hallam University with 50% tuition waiver and University of Westminster with full tuition waiver.

But your experience will go a long way to get more schools. Kindly assist fam.

Cc: STENON and all other bosses.

Skymoore1004:
@hosey please don’t annoy our madman here o @Stenon sorry no too vex

Everyone has their opinion about things.
When I read your post initially; me sef vex.
However, I reasoned from your perspective later and also reasoned with Aproko and others.

The whites are not God, but blacks also get their own wahala sometimes. Regardless as everyone has said, let’s just learn to carry ourselves with dignity wherever we go and know our rights/background.

Let’s end this now please dears

hosey:
Lol. The white know their place where I am around and I put them where they belong. If you have high self esteem, you will not even think of writing in a Nigerian forum on how white are better than your race. Why then are you still coming here to obtain information and gain from your fellow black who are low class.

I would be very worried to be your black freind in my workplace or in school. You will just be spoon feeding what your fellow black man does to your white boss to gain favour.

Please dont let your children have such mindset. And I hope you dont marry a white man just because you dont want your children to be black. They will still not be accepted by the white supremacists.

You will always be black. Accept your race and be positive to people. Treat others the same way no matter their race. Be happy and dont see black as inferior. You are strong, intelligent and have perseverance. Blacks are superior to the whites in sprinting and athleticism something whites themselves admit and are jealous of. They want to even introduce geneticist because of this. Your black skin is not susceptible to cancerous cells that is prevalent to white skin of old age. The whites are learning from black skin.

Be happy of gift of life. Cheers dear. Please dont mention any race is superior to another. Every individual is different no matter the race, society and religion.

Skymoore1004:
Did you read the previous comment? No! He asked me about Teesside and that’s why I responded. However because you’re so keen on my presence, you skipped that. Yes you’re trying so hard for me to notice you, and I have done that already. Move along, wether you give a shit or not, just move along!

The earlier you get used to my presence here, the better, because I don’t intend on leaving anytime soon. Oga callout, yen yen yen

hosey:
It is even you that have been stigmatised for you to choose other race over your kind and saying all blacks are pretenders
Hero worshipping white as if all of them are wise. Some of these white you glorify are incompetent and full of hypocrisy. You are suffering from inferiority complex and you need to change your bad stigma.
For you to generalise that all black as bad that shows the kind of bad company you keep and where you stay isnt good enough. You do not follow intellectual blacks of your kind.

If you like work as a workaholic and be a source of spoonfeeder, those white men can never and ever see you as equal. They pretend and will only treat you well if you are invaluable. If you are not, you are been outcasted and left to be fired. They apply institutional racism and see you as aggressive when you claim for your right.

You better sit up and remember home and when you came from. Do not let anyone deceive you. When you want to reach the top and managerial level in your career, you will understand what I mean. You will always be down bottom in their eyes.

Also, you should not generalise and see black as evil because you have not mingle with good competent blacks of high class. You should always the individual competence, attitude and honesty over race. We black in the diaspora do not help each other.

The Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians and many more help each other. You will see them dominant in a company in which their head is of their race. Many shops are owned by them and gradually eradicating poverty in their country.

But we blacks can never help each other because you all see black as evil. Why wont there be continued racism when you dont see yourself as the best and the boss. Why do you think the white and english people phrased their language to make everything black evil and negative:

black things black sheep, black day, black(blackmail), disrepute (black mark), rejection (blackball), banishment (blacklist), impurity (not the driven snow), illicitness (black market), black (devil) and death. Why is everything white good: white day, white holiday, white (peace) white (purity), white (godliness) and many more. They are just saying, you blacks are shit indirectly.

Believe in yourself as see yourself as superior and in control. Make yourself important and dont become a lapdog to the white.

Mobilipia:
No matter how hard you try these so called white people will never see you as equal to them, be proud of your race my dear. Be humble

Tobexin:
Like I do say it the way you portray yourself that is the way you will be treated! I noticed that most Africans here have what we called this inferiority complex or whatever they call it. They paved way for whatsoever treatment they are been given! I can tell you if you portray yourself right in Uk whatsoever part you are the sky will be your limit! [/b]The simple truth is this where ever you find yourself working always do your best! [b]Mind your business! Don’t join the other Nigeria to Poke nose this is common among our brothers also dress neat and smart. The whites love those who work deligently and smartly they would be all over you but once you give in to some certain attitudes that contravene their worldview hence racism comes in.

LinLinGentle:
I did not state anywhere in my post that my wife was an angel in Nigeria and has never hurt me, so I'm not really sure what the payback is all about. What she doesn't know is that she is going to spoil her own chances and also our children's once my job comes crashing. She has not started her career yet and can not support herself talk less of a family. Her advisors are pushing her to go on, reassuring her that she would get a visa as a victim of domestic violence and would not need me for anything. They have reassured her that she would also get some government benefits so she should ensure she ruins my career. Unfortunately, according to the laws here, she is not qualified for such visa or benefits even if there was a real domestic violence. I have told her this so many times but she is bent on taking her chances to destroy everything first before she finds out.

Skymoore1004:
You are right.

Student jobs in Scotland are very limited except maybe Edinburgh because of its diversity and tourism. I think the lack of student jobs has to do with racism from Scots as well. They’re not as welcoming as Brits.

Only thing like you said, it’s the affordable living cost. If you are looking a lagos hustle, don’t bother with Aberdeen.

lander237:
Yeah? how so? Smaller cities do not have many opportunities generally. I get it that the cost of living might be cheaper but as for the jobs...

lander237:
Aberdeen is not a big city so I would not expect to easily find student jobs
