5 great ways to start the academic session...

Hello all... Welcome to our blog...the only blog that gives you all the juiciest information about  schools, scholarships, study destinations and more! This post is long overdue but I thought to throw this in...It could still be useful to  some students or parents that would pass it on... 1. Begin with the end in mind Think about graduation…it might look like it’s far away right? It would amaze you how time would fly. What do you hope to graduate with? – A 1 st class or 2 nd class upper? What skills do you want to acquire? What companies do you hope to work for? A picture no matter how vague would keep you from straying off the path and would inform your every step from day 1. Paste your desired grades on the wall.

5 good reasons to study in Canada

Image
At one of the conferences I attended in London in 2016, I had a conversation with a Canadian school representative and I found myself asking him why Canada was a great destination for students. Of course, he came to ‘sell’ his school, so I wasn’t expecting anything short of that. He mentioned specifically something I couldn’t forget in a hurry. He said, “Canada can be called the ‘Employee Market’. It favors undergraduate and post graduate students because they can have 4 to 5 job offers post-graduation. Little wonder 90% of Canadian graduates are employed less than six months after graduation. He further added “The baby boomers are a large population in Canada (as with many developed nations) with government needing to pay pensions, use tax money for state projects etc. A time was, when Canada was not a destination to be considered but the case is different now” …And we went on and on with this discuss.   [By the way, Wikipedia has Baby boomers as people born during the ...
