Hello Sushil 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 ? Please advise. Thanks.

Ans: Hello,

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.).

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.

I am in relationship with a kind beautiful girl, hope we will get married , our families know eachother . But my gf was in relationship with someone in teenage and is getting blackmailed . She is afraid , she told me everything before , it's very confusing for me should I marry her , what if my family knows about it , he's blackmailing her and is telling her to not marry me otherwise he will share her private pics in social media . Should I be afraid , I love her and can wait for her , should I tell my family about this all. I really care for her and never judge for past relationship.
Ans: the most important thing is supporting your girlfriend without letting fear or confusion overwhelm you. She trusted you enough to share her past, which means she sees you as her safe space. Right now, your focus should be on helping her deal with the blackmail rather than doubting your future together.

Blackmail is a crime, and this guy is taking advantage of her fear. The worst thing you both can do is let him control the situation. Encourage her to take legal action—she can file a police complaint under cybercrime laws, and in many cases, authorities act swiftly against such threats. If she is too scared to go to the police, you can explore other options like speaking to a lawyer for guidance.

As for your family, you need to assess how they might react. If they are open-minded and supportive, telling them could help, but if you think they will overreact or judge her unfairly, you may want to keep this between you and your girlfriend for now. The key is ensuring she feels safe and not abandoned.

If you truly love her and see a future together, don’t let her past or someone else’s threats ruin what you both have. Instead, focus on finding a solution. Stand by her, but also make sure she takes action to free herself from this emotional and psychological burden.
