Hello Ankit Sir, I am 47 years old, currently working in a MNC and plan to apply for abroad posts (Manchester, UK) in future. I have 2 children studying in schools with State government syllabus (SSC board). 1st daughter is 11 years old (VII std.) and 2nd daughter is 7 years old (1st Std.). Do you think it will be a wise decision to move to UK, considering my children education? Is the education very expensive ? I have heard there are government schools where children can be enrolled ? Is the education quality good in such schools ? How about cost of education in these schools ? If they wish to pursue higher education in UK will they be eligible for scholarships ? What is the fees for Engg/Medical course in UK ? If we have to return after 2-3 years , can my elder daughter still apply for Engg./ Medical course in India ? Also my wife is a homemaker, will she be able to get part time job in UK. Please advise. Thanks.

Ans: Hello Mel,

First and foremost thank you for reaching out to us. However, regarding your question I would like to let you know that we primarily deal with overseas education at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Hello Geeta Madam, I am 47 years old, currently working in a MNC and plan to apply for abroad posts (Manchester, UK) in future. I have 2 children studying in schools with State government syllabus (SSC board). 1st daughter is 11 years old (VII std.) and 2nd daughter is 7 years old (1st Std.). Do you think it will be a wise decision to move to UK, considering my children education? Is the education very expensive ? I have heard there are government schools where children can be enrolled ? Is the education quality good in such schools ? How about cost of education in these schools ? If we have to return after 2-3 years , can my elder daughter still apply for Engg./ Medical course in India ? Also my wife is currently a home maker, can she also have some part time job in Manchester UK ? Please advise. Thanks.
Ans: Hi,
Moving to the UK can offer great opportunities, but there are several factors to consider:

Education: Public schools in the UK are funded by the government and generally offer high-quality education, though there can be variations. Education in state schools is free, but private schools can be costly. Your children can adapt to the UK curriculum, and public schools offer support for international students.

Cost: State education is free, but there might be some costs for uniforms, trips, and extracurricular activities.

Returning to India: Your elder daughter can apply for engineering or medical courses in India after returning, though she may need to adapt to the Indian education system upon her return.

Employment for your wife: Your wife can work part-time in Manchester. The UK has a range of part-time job opportunities, though she would need to check visa and work permit requirements.
Overall, moving to the UK can be a positive experience if well-planned. Consider consulting with an education advisor and an immigration expert to better understand the implications for your family.

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????
Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
