Abstract

Background: Immune checkpoint blockade with Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 inhibitors has been effective in various malignancies and is considered as a standard treatment modality for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, emerging evidence show that PD-1/PD-L1 blockade can lead to hyperprogressive disease (HPD), a flair-up of tumor growth linked to dismal prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of HPD and identify the determinants associated with HPD in patients with NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.

Patients and methods: We enrolled patients with recurrent and/or metastatic NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors between April 2014 and November 2018. Clinicopathologic variables, dynamics of tumor growth, and treatment outcomes were analyzed in patients with NSCLC who received PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. HPD was defined according to tumor growth kinetics (TGK), tumor growth rate (TGR), and time to treatment failure (TTF). Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes was conducted to explore the potential predictive biomarkers of HPD.

Results: A total of 263 patients were analyzed. HPD was observed in 55 (20.9%), 54 (20.5%), and 98 (37.3%) patients according to the TGK, TGR, and TTF. HPD meeting both TGK and TGR criteria was associated with worse progression-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) 4.619; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.868-7.440] and overall survival (HR, 5.079; 95% CI, 3.136-8.226) than progressive disease without HPD. There were no clinicopathologic variables specific for HPD. In the exploratory biomarker analysis with peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes, a lower frequency of effector/memory subsets (CCR7-CD45RA- T cells among the total CD8+ T cells) and a higher frequency of severely exhausted populations (TIGIT+ T cells among PD-1+CD8+ T cells) were associated with HPD and inferior survival rate.

Conclusion: HPD is common in NSCLC patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Biomarkers derived from rationally designed analysis may successfully predict HPD and worse outcomes, meriting further investigation of HPD.

Keywords: NSCLC; PD-1/PD-L1 blockade; biomarkers; hyperprogressive disease; tumor growth dynamics.

Namaskar! Last week we achieved a feat that filled all of us with pride. You must have heard that last week, India has achieved the export target of $ 400 billion, i.e. 30 lakh crore rupees. At first instance, it might come across as a matter related to the economy; but more than the economy, it is related to the capability of India, the potential of India. At one time, the figure of exports from India used to be 100 billion, at times 150 billion, sometimes 200 billion...today, India has reached 400 billion dollars. In a way, this means that the demand for items made in India is increasing all over the world; the other meaning is that the supply chain of India is getting stronger by the day... and it also has a very big message. The nation takes great strides when resolves are bigger than dreams. When there is a sincere effort day and night for the resolves, those resolutions also attain fruition... and you see, the same happens in a person's life as well. When one's resolve, one's efforts, become bigger than one's dreams, success comes to the person on its own.
Friends,
new, ever new products from all corners of the country are reaching foreign shores. Leather products from Hailakandi in Assam or handloom products from Osmanabad, fruits and vegetables from Bijapur or black rice from Chandauli, the exports of all of these are increasing. Now, you will also find the world famous apricot of Ladakh in Dubai too and in Saudi Arabia, you will find bananas shipped from Tamil Nadu. Most importantly, an array of new products are being sent to ever newer countries. For example, the first consignment of millets grown in Himachal and Uttarakhand was exported to Denmark. Bainganapalli and Subarnarekha mangoes from Krishna and Chittoor districts of Andhra Pradesh were exported to South Korea. Fresh jackfruits from Tripura were exported to London by air and for the first time King Chilli from Nagaland was dispatched to London. Similarly, the first consignment of Bhalia wheat was exported from Gujarat to Kenya and Sri Lanka. This means, now if you go to other countries, Made in India products will be more visible than ever before.
Friends,
this list is very long and the power of Make In India is equivalent in might to the extent of the list. Equally great is the potential of India... and the basis of its strength are our farmers, artisans, our weavers, engineers, our small entrepreneurs, the MSME sector; people from many different professions, all of them are its true strength. It is only due to their hard work, that the goal of exporting to the tune of $ 400 billion has been achieved and I am happy that this power of the people of India is now reaching new markets in every nook and corner of the world. When each and every Indian is vocal for local, it does not take long for the local to become global. Let's make the local 'global' and augment the prestige of our products further.
Friends,
the listeners of 'Mann Ki Baat' will love to know that the success of our small entrepreneurs at the domestic level also makes us proud. Today our small entrepreneurs are playing a major partnership role in government procurement through Government e-Market place i.e. GeM. A much transparent system has been developed through technology. During the last one year through the GeM portal, the government has purchased items worth more than one lakh crore rupees. Close to 1.25 lakh small entrepreneurs, small shopkeepers from every corner of the country have sold their goods directly to the government. There was a time when only big companies could sell goods to the government. However, the country is changing now; the old systems are also changing. Now even the smallest of shopkeepers can sell one's goods to the government on the GeM Portal - this is the New India. She not only dreams big, but also shows the courage to reach that goal, where no one has reached before. On the basis of this very courage, all of us Indians together will definitely fulfill the dream of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, a self-reliant India.
My dear countrymen,
you must have observed Baba Sivanand ji in the recently held Padma Awards ceremony. Seeing the agility of the 126-year-old, everyone must have been surprised just like I was...and I saw, before one could bat an eyelid, he started bowing in the Nandi Mudra. I bowed a number of times and offered Pranaam to Baba Sivanand ji. Both, the age of 126 years and the fitness of Baba Sivanand are the subject of discussion in the country today. I read many people's comments on social media, that Baba Sivanand is fitter than those one-fourth his age. Indeed, the life of Baba Sivananda is an inspiration for all of us. I wish him a long life. He has a passion for yoga and leads a very healthy lifestyle.
जीवेम शरदः शतम् |
In our culture, everyone is wished a hundred years of healthy life. We will celebrate 'World Health Day' on the 7th of April. Today, the collective Indian thought on health, whether it is Yoga or Ayurveda, is increasingly trending all over the world. Just last week you must have noticed a Yoga program being organized in Qatar. In this, citizens of 114 countries participated and made a new world record. Similarly, the market of the Ayush Industry is also increasing continuously. 6 years ago, the market for medicines related to Ayurveda was around 22 thousand crores. Today, the Ayush Manufacturing Industry is reaching around one lakh forty thousand crore rupees, that is, the possibilities are increasing continuously in this sector. In the start-up world too, AYUSH is becoming a subject of attraction.
Friends,
I have often referred to earlier on other start-ups of the health sector, but this time I will talk to you especially on Ayush Start-Ups. There is a start-up Kapiva! Its meaning is hidden in its name. Here, Ka means - Kapha, Pi means - Pitta and Va means - Vaata. This Start-Up is based on healthy eating habits in accordance with our traditions. Nirog-Street too is another start-up which is a unique concept in the Ayurveda Healthcare Ecosystem. Its technology-driven platform connects Ayurveda Doctors from across the world directly to the people. More than 50 thousand practitioners are associated with it. Similarly, Atreya Innovations, a healthcare technology start-up, is working in the field of Holistic Wellness. Ixoreal has not only spread awareness about the use of Ashwagandha, but has also invested a huge amount on top-quality production process. Cureveda has created dietary supplements for Holistic Life through the confluence of modern herbal research and traditional knowledge.
Friends,
I have listed only a few names so far; this list is very long. It is a symbol of the young entrepreneurs of India and the new possibilities being created in India. I also have a request for the Start-Ups of the Health Sector and especially the Ayush Start-Ups. Whatever portal you design online; whatever content you create, try to make it in all the languages ​​​​recognized by the United Nations. There are many such countries in the world where English is neither spoken nor understood much. Promote your information keeping such countries in mind as well. I am sure that soon, Ayush Start-Ups from India with better quality products will reign all over the world.
Friends,
health is also directly related to cleanliness. In 'Mann Ki Baat', we always mention the efforts of the proponents of cleanliness. One such Swachhagrahi is Chandrakishore Patil ji. He lives in Nashik, Maharashtra. Chandrakishore ji's resolve regarding cleanliness is very heartfelt. He stands by the Godavari river, and constantly encourages people not to throw garbage in the river. If he sees someone doing this, he immediately stops them. Chandrakishore ji invests a lot of his time in this endeavour. By evening, he has a pile of such things, which people have brought to throw into the river. This effort of Chandrakishore ji also raises awareness and is also inspiring. Similarly, there is another Swachhagrahi - Rahul Maharana of Puri in Orissa. Rahul goes to the pilgrimage sites in Puri early in the morning every Sunday, and clears the plastic garbage there. He has cleaned hundreds of kilos of plastic garbage and dirt so far. Be it Rahul of Puri or Chandrakishore of Nashik, they teach us a lot. As citizens, we must carry out our duties, whether it is cleanliness, nutrition or vaccination... all these efforts also help us in staying healthy.
My dear countrymen,
let's talk about Mupattam Sri Narayanan ji of Kerala. He has started a project named - 'Pots for water of life'. When you come to know about this project, you will marvel at the wonderful work done.
Friends,
Mupattam Sri Narayanan ji is running a campaign to distribute earthen pots so that animals and birds do not face water problems during summer. In summer, he used to get upset seeing the plight of animals and birds. Then he thought... why not start distributing earthen pots himself so that others were left with only the task of filling water in those pots. You will be surprised that the number of utensils distributed by Narayanan ji is going to cross one lakh. In his campaign, he will donate the hundred thousandth pot to the Sabarmati Ashram established by Gandhi ji. Today, when the summer season has knocked at our doors, this work of Narayanan will definitely inspire all of us and we will also make arrangements for water for our animal and bird friends this summer.
Friends,
I would also request the listeners of 'Mann Ki Baat' to reiterate our resolves. Whatever we can do to save every drop of water, we must do that. Apart from this, we have to keep giving equal emphasis on recycling of water. The water used at home can be used in pots, can be used in gardening, it must be reused. With a little effort, you can make such arrangements in your home. Centuries ago, Rahimdas ji had purposefull said 'Rahiman paani raakhiye, bin paani sab soon'. And in this task of saving water, I have high hopes from children. Just as our children made cleanliness a movement, they can help save water by becoming a 'Water Warriors'.
Friends,
for centuries, water conservation in our country; protection of water sources has been part of the nature of society. I am happy that many people in the country have made water conservation a life mission. Like Arun Krishnamurthy is a friend from Chennai! Arun ji is running a campaign to clean the ponds and lakes in his area. He took up the responsibility of cleaning more than 150 ponds and lakes and successfully completed it. Similarly, there is a friend from Maharashtra, Rohan Kale. Rohan is an HR Professional. He is running a campaign to preserve hundreds of step wells in Maharashtra. Many of these wells are centuries old and are part of our heritage. Bansilal-Pet Kuan in Secunderabad is one such step well. Due to years of neglect, this step well got filled with mud and garbage. But now the campaign to revive this step well has started with public participation.
Friends,
I hail from a state where there has always been a shortage of water. These step wells are called Vav in Gujarat. Vav has played a big role in a state like Gujarat. The 'Jal Mandir Scheme' played a significant role in the protection of these wells or step wells. Several step wells were revived all over Gujarat. This also helped a lot in raising the water level in these areas. You can also run similar campaigns at the local level. Be it the construction of Check dams or Rain Water Harvesting, individual efforts are also important in this and collective efforts are necessary too. For instance, at least 75 Amrit Sarovars can be made in every district of our country in the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. Some old lakes can be rejuvenated; some new ones can be dug. I am sure you will definitely make some effort in this direction.
My dear countrymen,
one of the beautiful aspects of 'Mann Ki Baat' is that I get your messages in many languages, in many dialects. Many people also send audio message on MYGOV. India's culture, our languages, our dialects, our way of life, our culinary range, all of this diversity is our great strength. From east to west, from north to south, this diversity binds India together, leading to Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat. Here too, both our historical sites and Pauranik literature contribute a lot. You must be wondering why I am mentioning this to you right now! The reason for this is the "Madhavpur Mela". The listeners of Mann Ki Baat will find it very interesting to know where the Madhavpur Mela is held, why it is held, how it is related to the diversity of India.
Friends,
"Madhavpur Mela" is held in the village of Madhavpur near the sea at Porbandar in Gujarat. But it also connects with the eastern end of India. You must be thinking how this is possible! The answer to this also comes from a Pauranik story. It is said that thousands of years ago Lord Krishna was married to Rukmani, a princess from the North East. This marriage took place in Madhavpur, Porbandar and as a symbol of the that marriage, even today Madhavpur fair is held there. This deep relationship between the East and West is our heritage. With the passage of time with the efforts of the people, new aspects too are now being added to the Madhavpur fair. In local parlance, the bride's side is called Gharati and now many Gharaatis from the North East have started coming to this fair. Artists from all the states of the North East reach the Madhavpur Fair, which lasts for a week; when artisans associated with handicrafts arrive and the beauty of the fair is enhanced manifold. For a week, this amalgamation of cultures of the East and West of India, the Madhavpur fair creates a very beautiful example of Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat. I request you to read and know more about this fair as well.
My dear countrymen,
the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav in the country is now becoming a new example of public participation. A few days ago, on the 23rd of March, many celebrations were held in different corners of the country on Martyrs' Day. The country remembered te heroes and heroines of her Independence; remembered them reverently. On the same day I also got the opportunity to dedicate to the nation the Biplobi Bharat Gallery at Victoria Memorial, Kolkata. This is a very unique gallery to pay tribute to the brave revolutionaries of India. If you get n opportunity, you must certainly visit it. Friends, in the month of April we will also celebrate the birth anniversary of two great personalities. Both of them have left their deep impact on Indian society. These great personalities are - Mahatma Phule and Babasaheb Ambedkar. We will celebrate Mahatma Phule's birth anniversary on the 11th of April and Babasaheb's birth anniversary on the 14th of April. Both of these great men fought persistently against discrimination and inequality. Mahatma Phule opened schools for girls in that era; raised his voice against female infanticide. He also launched large campaigns to get rid of the water crisis.
Friends,
the mention of Savitribai Phule ji is equally important in this reference to Mahatma Phule. Savitribai Phule played a significant role in the formation of many social institutions. As a teacher and a social reformer, she also made the society aware and encouraged it. Together they founded the Satyashodhak Samaj...they made efforts for the empowerment of the people. We can clearly see the influence of Mahatma Phule in the work of Babasaheb Ambedkar. He also used to say that the development of any society can be assessed by looking at the status of women in that society. Taking inspiration from the life of Mahatma Phule, Savitribai Phule, Babasaheb Ambedkar, I request all the parents and guardians to ensure education for their daughters. In order to increase the enrollment of daughters in schools, the Kanya Shiksha Pravesh Utsav has also been started a few days ago... the focus is on bringing back to school those girls who missed their studies for some reason.
Friends,
it is a matter of good fortune for all of us that we have also got an opportunity to work for Panch Teerth associated with Babasaheb. Be it his birthplace in Mhow, Chaityabhoomi in Mumbai, his home in London, the Deeksha Bhoomi in Nagpur, or Babasaheb's Maha-Parinirvana Sthal in Delhi, I have had the privilege of visiting all the places, all sacred sites. I would urge the listeners of 'Mann Ki Baat' to visit the places associated with Mahatma Phule, Savitribai Phule and Babasaheb Ambedkar. You will get to learn a lot there.
My dear countrymen,
this time too in 'Mann Ki Baat' we talked on many topics. Many festivals are lined up next month. Navratri is only a few days away. In Navratri, we practice fasting, perform sadhana of Shakti, worship Shakti...that is, our traditions teach us celebration and restraint as well. Sanyam and Tap are also a festival for us, which is why Navratri has always been very special for all of us. There is also the festival of Gudi Padwa on the very first day of Navratri. Easter also comes in April and the holy days of Ramadan are also starting. Let us celebrate our festivals by including everyone together, strenthening India's diversity... this is our collective desire. That's all this time in 'Mann Ki Baat'. I will see you again next month with new topics.
Many many thanks !

Though India has world-class education institutes like IIMs and IITs which can really compete with the world, we are still miles behind in providing better education to undergraduates and post-graduates.

It is very much evident that the Indian education system is not updated in comparison to the UK. This is fact and we are all aware about it. Have you ever thought that why the UK education system is better compared to the Indian education system?

Nonetheless, the UK being a developed country offers a lot of opportunities.

To prove our existence our education system has some of the world-class education institutes like IIMs, IITs and so on. Some of the world’s best minds have studied in these institutes. India is better than the UK for undergraduate courses (in terms of cost only). And the UK definitely has an edge over India when it comes to graduate studies and doctoral studies.

One of the core reasons is that the education system in India focuses more on theory than practical. Here education system doesn’t allow to be creative, whereas in the UK and other countries, they emphasize more on practical based learning and allow creativity in education. Education in India is more like a formality and done as a part of the routine. Every Indian must get a degree of Management, Engineering or Medical stream; whether you learn something or not.

Around 75% of Indian engineers complete their studies every year and are unemployed or underemployed. Our degree are not worth and do not fetch a good-paying job.

Below are the benefits when you have a degree from the United Kingdom

You get a high-quality education at the world’s best universities

The teaching staff are Professional and are industry trained

You are entitled to work during your studies which can benefit you to get an international exposure while working part time can get you extra income to cover petty expenses.

Degree courses are of shorter duration like a Master’s Degree can be completed in 1 year

You study and interact with the international students which can be useful in your future endeavors

With international exposure, you have an edge and a fresher can even enter mid-level management with higher pay

The standard of living is of high quality

The entry requirements are low, so it is easy to get admission

Apart from all the benefits from above the visa procedure is easy

So, in the end, the UK has high priority education which is world-class as compared to India. Please call or visit us for more information.

How does the Education System of the UK Work?

The UK is globally recognized for its teaching excellence and is renowned for its research and development in various fields of study. It offers a vast scope for students to develop their critical and analytical thinking. The UK education system varies for the four jurisdictions - England, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. Each of these regions follows a different education system, qualifications, and individual laws/ regulations. Some of the characteristics of the UK education system is given below:

The UK education system is divided into primary education, secondary education, further education. and higher education

Undergraduate courses in the UK are designed to provide a thorough understanding of a subject of interest and help students get exposure to a whole new world after school

Postgraduate courses in the UK are more specific and involve in-depth study and are generally of 1-year duration

The UK also has several preparatory courses for seeking admission into universities through English Language learning programs or foundation-level courses

Primary education in the UK begins at age 5 and continues until age 11, comprising key stages one and two under the UK educational system

Secondary education in the UK comprises the key stages three and four under the UK education system. Students from the age 11 to 16 enter secondary school and move towards taking the GCSE

Primary and secondary education is mandatory for all students in the UK education system

Further education in the UK is for students planning to go to college or university after completion of secondary education. Students have an option to extend into further education to take their A-Levels, GNVQ's, BTEC's or other such qualifications

Higher education in the UK mostly comprises bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in various fields of study. International students generally enter directly into the UK Higher Education System after completing the equivalent of “further education in the UK” from their home country

Most schools in the UK follow the national curriculum that is a set of subjects and standards used by primary and secondary schools so all students learn the same things. All academies and private schools teach a broad and balanced curriculum including English, maths, and science and do not follow the national curriculum. The national curriculum is organized into blocks called “key stages”. The performance of all students is formally assessed at the end of each key stage.

Key Stages in the UK Education System

The UK education system consists of 4 key stages. The key stages are sorted based on the age of the students. Generally, key stages 1 and 2 will be undertaken at primary school after which a student will move onto secondary school and finish key stages 3 and 4. All the key stages in the UK education system are listed below:

Key Stage 1 (5-7 years)

Key Stage 2 (7-11 years)

Key Stage 3 (11-14 years)

Key Stage 4 (14-16 years)

Key Stage 1 (5-7 years)

At this level, children are in the primary school and are aged 5 to 7 years old. Key stage 1 essentially introduces students to the basic concepts of subjects such as English language, mathematics, history, physical education, geography, history, and music.

A student's ability to properly decode and comprehend phonics is assessed by phonic screening in the first year of this stage. Students  typically call out a list of 40 words to their teachers during phonic screening. These pupils will sit an examination at the end of this stage to measure their level of progress in different subjects like English, science, math, etc.

Key Stage 2 (7-11 years)

Children between the ages of 7 and 11 will be in the second key stage of the UK education system. They will now gain a bit more knowledge on core subjects as part of the curriculum. The following subjects are assessed at the end of this phase:

English reading

English grammar, punctuation and spelling

Mathematics

Science

The level of student improvement in Science is determined individually by the teacher, while in English and Mathematics, national assessments tests are used.

Key Stage 3 (11-14 years)

Students aged 11 to 14 are in the third key stage of their compulsory education. A good deal of their education occurs during this period because just a few years thereafter they will sit for the GCSE national exam. As the students progress through this stage of education, they will also study new subjects during which they are expected to gain some basic knowledge before moving forward.

In Key Stage 3, students study subjects like English, science, maths, art, history, music, geography, physical education, computing, modern foreign languages, etc. After completion of Key Stage 3, some students might appear for GCSE or other national examinations.

Key Stage 4 (14-16 years)

During the Key Stage 4 of compulsory education, students are aged 14 to 16. During this time, most students take the assessments that lead to GCSEs or other national qualifications. As part of the mandatory national curriculum, "core" and "foundation" subjects are included at this stage.

The following subjects are taught at Key Stage 4:

English

Mathematics

Science

Key Stage 4 subjects include the following "foundational" subjects:

Computing

Physical Education

Citizenship

Schools in the United Kingdom also offer one of the following subjects at this level of education:

Arts

Design and Technology

Humanities

Modern Foreign Languages

Quality Assurance System

One of the unique aspects of the UK's education system is its Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). It is an independent body that conducts regular audits and reviews of universities and colleges across the country.

Additionally, it identifies the best educational practices and provides feedback on what needs to be improved. Through this, students are provided with the best possible education. Private institutions, however, are not assessed by QAA.

Higher Education System in the UK

In the UK, students can pursue higher education by enrolling into bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs. In addition, international students may be able to transition directly to university level studies via pathway programs which typically include foundation courses and English language programs.

Undergraduate Studies

Bachelor's degrees in the UK usually take three years to complete, and the majority are offered at an honours level. During undergraduate courses, students are exposed to a complete new world after school while gaining a comprehensive understanding of a subject of interest. There is a wide range of courses offered in the UK in various disciplines, including business, science, arts, humanities, social sciences, design, technology, and many others.

Postgraduate Studies

Courses at the postgraduate level are more specific and require in-depth study. Master's degree programs in the UK usually last for one year. Therefore, PG courses in the UK have a shorter duration than courses in other countries.  The country provides a wide range of programs, including niche courses that are in high demand in the industry.

High-achieving applicants with at least 2 years of managerial experience are preferred for admission to PG programs. The duration of a PhD program in the UK can be between 2 and 7 years.

UK Tuition Fees and Costs

If you're applying to universities in the UK, you will need to check their website before making any further plans for your studies as the tuition fees varies from one university to another.

Tuition fees in the UK are determined by two factors:

The location of your university in the UK (different rules apply to England, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland)

Your level of study – bachelors, masters or doctorate

The undergraduate tuition fees at UK universities typically range from £10,000 to £18,000 depending on the school and course. The cost of postgraduate courses depends on the program, the length of the course, and the institution offering it.

Financial Aid

There are numerous forms of financial assistance available to students in the UK, such as scholarships, grants, fellowships, bursaries, and financial awards. These are offered by the government, public/private organizations or universities.

There are a number of students who apply for these scholarships, so it is recommended that you apply early and stay informed of the application deadlines. Consider looking into UK scholarships for Indian students if you plan on studying in the UK!

Canada Education System Vs UK Education System

The UK education system emphasizes grades and scales and is a more traditional form of education. The Canadian education system on the other hand follows a more holistic approach where teaching and extracurricular activities are based around learning. Given below is the difference in the Canadian education system vs UK education system:

The UK education system is based around scales and grades and is more traditional in nature. The Canadian education system follows a more holistic style of grading children

Canadian education is positioned well above UK education in terms of student performance and quality of education

Admission to undergraduate courses in the UK require a minimum of 13 years of pre-university education whereas admission to undergraduate programs in Canada require the students to have completed 12 years of schooling

UK Vs US Education System

According to a report by Times Higher Education, more than half of the world’s top 200 universities are located in either the US or the UK. Both countries offer quality higher education, excellent research facilities, and a culture that promotes intellectualism as well as academic freedom. However, there are several differences in the education systems of both countries regarding the structure of the university as well as student life. The main differences in the UK vs US education system are given below:

The most crucial difference in the UK and the US education system is the amount of time it takes to finish a degree program. A degree program in the US takes about one year longer than programs in the UK.

Courses of study are shorter and more focused in the UK as compared to the courses in the US education system

In the US education system, one can go directly to a Ph.D. program after completion of an undergraduate degree program. But in the UK, it is more common to complete a master’s degree program before moving on to a Ph.D. degree.

Another major difference is the university organization between both education systems. Most universities in the UK are made up of individual colleges which are dedicated to a specific subject matter. Each college has a lot of autonomy from each other and also with the university itself while still being governed by the university. On the other hand, in the US education system, a student applies for admission to a larger university and students take courses from a variety of fields for the first year or more and declare a major only at the end of the first or second year.

The general emphasis of higher education in the US is the breadth where students get a range of knowledge from a variety of different subjects. In the UK, the emphasis is more on depth; where students get a very thorough understanding of the chosen subject.

Indian Vs UK Education System

The Indian education system is lacking in a variety of factors in spite of having world-class education institutions like the IITs and IIMs. The Indian education system is not as updated as the UK education system in providing better education to undergraduates and postgraduates. The difference between the education system in UK and India are as follows:

Undergraduate courses in India are better for students mainly in terms of cost. The UK on the other hand has an edge over India when it comes to graduate and doctoral programs

The Indian education system is focused more on theory than practical. The UK education system allows students to be creative and emphasizes practical-based learning

Master’s degree programs in the UK are shorted and can be completed in one year. Master’s courses in India are of 2-3 years duration

In the UK, students are entitled to work during the course of their studies that helps them get international exposure and also get extra income to cover part of their living expenses

The quality of education offered at UK education institutions is far better than the education offered under the Indian education system. The teachers are professional and industry-trained to offer good education

The UK education system is advanced in terms of the use of technology. Students are offered online notes and the use of projectors and educational software are quite common in the UK. India, on the other hand, has very few schools with advanced facilities especially in the rural areas

Another main difference is that the UK offers a wide variety of subject choices for the students, especially in higher education. India doesn’t have as many course options for students in different fields of study

The UK education system offers opportunities for skill development. Students are given projects requiring intensive research that helps in skill management. The Indian education system mainly focuses on making students learn the things that are important to score good marks in the exam

The UK has a good infrastructure that is required for a good education system. The Indian infrastructure has improved over the years but still lacks in certain parameters as compared to the UK education system. Several Indian schools do not have well-facilitated laboratories, smart classes, and other such components that are important for a quality education system.

Conclusion

It is not totally wrong to say that the UK education system is much better and advanced than the education system of most other countries. But it can also be a little stressful for students in the UK education system as the time given to complete the studies is less as compared to other education systems. Each level of education in the UK has varying requirements which must be satisfied in order to gain admission to the course at that level.

The UK also offers online education to students from all over the world who do not wish to relocate due to various reasons. To conclude, the education system of the UK is top-notch and preferred by students belonging to different countries in Europe. The UK is welcoming to students from different nationalities and offers a safe and secure environment for students to be able to live in the UK and study a course of their choice.

The most crucial difference in the UK and the US education system is the amount of time it takes to finish a degree program. A degree program in the US takes about one year longer than programs in the UK.

Courses of study are shorter and more focused in the UK as compared to the courses in the US education system

In the US education system, one can go directly to a Ph.D. program after completion of an undergraduate degree program. But in the UK, it is more common to complete a master’s degree program before moving on to a Ph.D. degree.

Another major difference is the university organization between both education systems. Most universities in the UK are made up of individual colleges which are dedicated to a specific subject matter. Each college has a lot of autonomy from each other and also with the university itself while still being governed by the university. On the other hand, in the US education system, a student applies for admission to a larger university and students take courses from a variety of fields for the first year or more and declare a major only at the end of the first or second year.

The general emphasis of higher education in the US is the breadth where students get a range of knowledge from a variety of different subjects. In the UK, the emphasis is more on depth; where students get a very thorough understanding of the chosen subject.

Indian Vs UK Education System

The Indian education system is lacking in a variety of factors in spite of having world-class education institutions like the IITs and IIMs. The Indian education system is not as updated as the UK education system in providing better education to undergraduates and postgraduates. The difference between the education system in UK and India are as follows:

Undergraduate courses in India are better for students mainly in terms of cost. The UK on the other hand has an edge over India when it comes to graduate and doctoral programs

The Indian education system is focused more on theory than practical. The UK education system allows students to be creative and emphasizes practical-based learning

Master’s degree programs in the UK are shorted and can be completed in one year. Master’s courses in India are of 2-3 years duration

In the UK, students are entitled to work during the course of their studies that helps them get international exposure and also get extra income to cover part of their living expenses

The quality of education offered at UK education institutions is far better than the education offered under the Indian education system. The teachers are professional and industry-trained to offer good education

The UK education system is advanced in terms of the use of technology. Students are offered online notes and the use of projectors and educational software are quite common in the UK. India, on the other hand, has very few schools with advanced facilities especially in the rural areas

Another main difference is that the UK offers a wide variety of subject choices for the students, especially in higher education. India doesn’t have as many course options for students in different fields of study

The UK education system offers opportunities for skill development. Students are given projects requiring intensive research that helps in skill management. The Indian education system mainly focuses on making students learn the things that are important to score good marks in the exam

The UK has a good infrastructure that is required for a good education system. The Indian infrastructure has improved over the years but still lacks in certain parameters as compared to the UK education system. Several Indian schools do not have well-facilitated laboratories, smart classes, and other such components that are important for a quality education system.

Conclusion

It is not totally wrong to say that the UK education system is much better and advanced than the education system of most other countries. But it can also be a little stressful for students in the UK education system as the time given to complete the studies is less as compared to other education systems. Each level of education in the UK has varying requirements which must be satisfied in order to gain admission to the course at that level.

The UK also offers online education to students from all over the world who do not wish to relocate due to various reasons. To conclude, the education system of the UK is top-notch and preferred by students belonging to different countries in Europe. The UK is welcoming to students from different nationalities and offers a safe and secure environment for students to be able to live in the UK and study a course of their choice.

6 Ways to Improve Your Non-verbal Communication Skills

By Stephanie Natoli on June 18, 2018

A lot can be said without words in a face-to-face conversation. Often, our non-verbal communication-our facial expressions, body posture, eye contact, etc.-speaks loudest. These non-verbal cues play a huge role in how our words and intentions are interpreted. Good non-verbal skills can help show your support by expressing you genuinely care and are truly hearing what someone has to say.

To show support for someone we're talking to, it's important to not only be aware of their nonverbal cues, but also our own. During your next face-to-face conversation about mental health, keep these tips in mind:

1. Pay close attention to what the person says. Really listening to what the person is telling you is crucial to being a helpful listener. When you reply, it can be helpful to repeat some of what they told you, using the same language. This attention to detail demonstrates that you care.

2. Maintain comfortable eye contact. Don't avoid eye contact, but do avoid staring. It's important to meet someone's gaze. It shows you are interested and that your focus is on them - quite literally!

3. Maintain an open body position. Avoid crossing your arms over your body - it may appear defensive. When your body position is open, it conveys that you are open to listening.

4. Sit down, even if the person is standing. Being on the same level as someone appears less threatening and can make them feel more comfortable, while avoiding feelings of tension or nervousness when having personal conversations.

5. Sit alongside and angled toward the person rather than directly opposite them. This allows the conversation to feel friendly and nonconfrontational. No one wants to feel like they're being interviewed.

6. Avoid fidgeting. During a sensitive conversation, it may be tempting to fidget, but it can be distracting to the person who is talking. It could also make it appear that you are uncomfortable, nervous or bored.

When used together, these non-verbal behaviors can improve your communication skills. Sometimes it's not about what you say, but what you do. By being an effective listener, you are showing your support, which in turn will help a friend, family member or someone in your community who may be living with a mental health or substance use challenge.

Communication is the process of passing or exchanging ideas, emotions, information, and thoughts between two or more people. When a meaningful interaction happens among people, then effective communication takes place.

In simple words, the way people perceive and understand the meaning of words or sentences or physical actions, and then a process of communication happens.

Communication is very essential at all levels in human life without which one can't survive in this social environment encompassing personal as well as professional. The main purpose of communication is to correctly pass the information to the receiver, thus creating clarity of thoughts and removing misunderstanding, else the whole idea of the communication could be defeated.

But communication has discrete forms or types, the main are Verbal and Non Verbal Communication that is not clear to many.

Verbal vs Non-Verbal Communication

The difference between Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication is that in Verbal communication, thoughts or emotions or information is exchanged between individuals through the use of speech. Non-verbal communication refers to signals transmitted through facial expressions, posture, eye contact, gestures, tone of voice, body language, and other ways.

Any interaction where a person uses the words to converse then it's recognized as verbal communication. Nonverbal communication is also considered as an indirect method through which people communicate with others without using words or language.

Parameter of Comparison

Verbal Communication

Non Verbal Communication

Definition

Verbal communication involves the use of words or speech or auditory language to express emotions or thoughts or exchange information.

Non-verbal communication involves the use of visual or non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, eye or body movements, gestures, and many more without speaking.

Communication Type

Formal as well as Informal

Informal

Impact of the Message

Very impactful as it is documented.

Very comprehensive as it shows the actual emotions of the person.

Communicates

Precise information.

Required and at times more information.

Conveyed Through

Emails, letters, notes, reports, i.e. Anything in written and oral format where words are used.

Through Body posture, gestures, eye contacts, face expressions i.e. any form of expression.

Transparency Status

Clear and Concise.

Complex and sometimes confusing.

In Verbal communication, a person uses words or speech to exchange information or messages. It takes place in the form of oral as well as a written format between two or more persons.

Examples of verbal communication are meetings, letters, reports, emails, notes, memos, group discussions, interviews, counseling, face-to-face conversations, telephone calls, radio, etc.
Verbal communication plays an integral role in maintaining successful and positive relationships.
Doing effective and constructive communication always results in contented people, increased productivity, smoother operations, and decreased errors.

Effective Verbal communication is needed to foster a positive relationship among people, irrespective of whether it is done at a professional or at a personal front.

We work and live with people who are from different geographies and diverse backgrounds of culture & language, thus it becomes very essential for all to work hard on their verbal communication skills to pass the correct information to the right person at the right time.

Superior verbal communication skills also increase the abilities of individuals to appropriately share thoughts, concerns, and ideas without hurting anyone.

Verbal communication is considered as the fastest mechanism of expressions.

Verbal communication can also be done formally and informally, where formal verbal communication is done in a structured format using defined rules & guidelines, whereas informal communication does not precisely follow the structured format of rules & guidelines.

Non-verbal communication is the widely used method in the communication process where a person doesn't use a single word or language to pass his/her message or information to other people.

When a person doesn't use the words to converse with others rather uses visual cues such as facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, body language, tone of voice to express their feelings or convey the message, then it is called a Non-verbal communication.

When a person attending any meeting, appears for an interview, gets into the group discussion or in any activity, then how people carrying themselves through physical means explains their non-verbal responses.

For example, poor posture in the interview represents unprofessional and casual behavior, avoiding eye contact or downward gaze reflects that a person is not confident enough, the person standing or sitting with crossed arms means he might be defensive, etc.
Non-verbal communication skills can't be learned, they are peculiar to individuals as they reflect the personal attitude of the person towards life and other people.
This particular skill can make or break the relationships of the person at personal as well as at the professional front.

It is not a structured method that is guided by specific rules & regulations rather non-verbal communication is a reflection of the person who is involved in the communication process.

One has to understand how their expressions can impact the other person and thus need to be very careful.
Non-verbal communication works very well with verbal communication at times. It's sometimes difficult to assess whether the recipient has understood the meaning or correct message is passed to the recipient or not.
Artifacts, Chronemics, Haptics, Vocalists, Proxemics, and Kinesics are forms of non-verbal communication.

Communication is a means used to represent the psychology of people. Effectual communications help the person to evolve better and help in minimizing the relationship issues, both personal as well as professional.

Verbal and Non-verbal communication is ways to convey messages or pass information with diluting the facts.

Both, Verbal and Non-verbal communications hold great importance as at times certain things can't be passed using the structured methods of verbal communication and need to use non-verbal communication methods.

Also, at times a person needs to restrict themselves to structured methods of verbal communication.

Thus, both offer different values in different scenarios. Hence one must understand the difference between Verbal and Non-verbal Communication to converse well.

Here is a brief comparison of schooling ages in India and in the UK.

Education in India

SSC

The Secondary School Certificate is a public examination taken by students after successfully completing at least ten years of schooling in subjects: Languages (English & 1 Regional Language), Social Studies (SST), Mathematics, Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).

A new 9 point grading system has been introduced for this level, which is as follows: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D, E1, E2.

HSC

The Higher Secondary Certificate is a two-year study in a School in Science/Commerce/Arts streams. Results are awarded in percentages as below:

Distinction - 75%+

First Class - 60%

Second Class - 50%

Pass - 33%

Bachelor's Degree in India - involves 3/4 years of study in a university with specialisation in an area like Commerce & Economics, Management, Computing, Arts, Engineering or Science.

Degrees are awarded as:

Education in the UK

GCSE

General Certificate of Secondary Education: Level 2 of the NQF Framework for GCSEs grades A* - C. Students can take up to 9-12 GCSE's including English and Maths at A*-C level.

GCSE's are available in more than 40 academic and nine 'applied' subjects. The applied subjects are focused on wider areas of work such as engineering. When you take GCSE's you can achieve pass grades from A* to G. If you don't achieve the minimum pass mark to get a grade G, then a U grade is awarded, which means 'unclassified'.

Higher tier (difficult level) exams leads to grades A* - D

Foundation tier exams leads to grades C - G

A-Levels

A-Levels are made up of the AS (advanced subsidiary) level and the A2. Each year makes up 50 per cent of the overall A level grade. This forms level 3 of the NQF qualifications framework.

Year 1: AS-Level - Students can study the AS-Level as either a free-standing qualification, or it can be the first half of the full A-level.

Year 2: In year two of study, you take the A2 - this is not a separate qualification, but the second half of the A-Level. The A2 is designed to deepen the knowledge you gained during the AS-Level.

Colleges of further education and sixth-form colleges also offer academic, technical and vocational courses for people over the age of 16. Here is a list of UK colleges which offer vocational courses.

Students can also choose to take the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. This programme is an internationally recognised qualification for students aged 16 to 19. It is level 3 of the NQF qualifications framework and is focused on the study of a wide variety of subjects, including languages, science, maths, history, arts and geography.

Undergraduate Study in the UK

Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS)

UCAS is responsible for managing applications to higher education courses in the UK and they process more than two million applications for full-time undergraduate courses every year. SI-UK uses UCAS for undergraduate applications on behalf of Indian students.

Foundation Study in the UK

Students can opt to study a Foundation Degree (Level 5 of FHEQ / NQF qualifications framework), which is a university-level qualification involving the first two years of an honours degree. Upon obtaining a Foundation Degree, students may 'top-up' their qualification to an honours degree.

Undergraduate studies in UK takes three years to complete in most cases, leading to a qualification such as a bachelor of arts (BA), bachelor of science (BSc) - level 6 of NQF/ FHEQ. You will need a minimum of four years of study if you are choosing a sandwich program which involves practical work accompanied by coursework. It can be longer if studying MB - Bachelor's in Medicine.

A third or above means you receive a bachelor's degree with honours.

Postgraduate Study in the UK

Masters Study

After successful completion of an undergraduate degree, students can go on to study a postgraduate diploma, postgraduate certificate or the more traditional Masters degree. Different types of postgraduate programme include:

Grades are normally awarded as:

Doctorates/PhD

A doctorate qualification or Research degree (Level 8 of NQF/ FHEQ qualifications framework) gives you the opportunity to undertake an original piece of research. It usually takes at least three years of full-time study to complete a PhD. Doctorates are normally awarded as either a pass or fail also in some cases with a distinction.

Education in Scotland

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) provides syllabuses for years S3-S6 in secondary school. "Standard Grade" courses are taken by students which include the study of years S3-S4. These are equivalent to the Indian SSC - 10th STD and UK's GCSE levels.

Grades range from 1 (highest) to 7 (lowest). Grade 3 and above is considered as pass.

Years S5 and S6 are 1-year courses and are harder than GCSE's, but easier than A-Level. Therefore, some feel these courses are insufficient training for university, and is why Scottish university degrees generally last for one more year than those at English universities.

Grades range from A (highest) to C which are passes and D which is a near pass.

The Advanced Higher is taken by most able S6 students, where students focus on one or two subjects. These papers are graded A-E with similar credit value to A-Level in the UK.

Know about the Difference between education system in UK and India: Every education system of the world has unique features of its own and merits and demerits can be found in all these systems. Talking about the education system in UK and India, you can find major differences between the two. The impact that these two education system can have on the life of the students also varies. Whereas one follows traditional approach, the other has modernized one. Let us see some significant differences between the education system in UK and India and decide for yourself which one suits you better than the other.

1. Quality of education: The quality of education offered under the Indian education system is not at par with the UK education system. Teachers are not very well qualified and the condition is worse for government schools. Although, efforts have been continuously made to uplift the condition of study but there are much more to do still.

2. Use of technology in education: The UK education system is advanced talking in terms of technology. For example, unlike traditional notes keeping system in India, the students are given online notes. Use of projectors, educational software, etc is more common in UK education system. But in India, there are very few schools with the advanced facilities and almost none in the rural areas.

3. Availability of options: A student under UK education system can find a large number of subject choices, especially when it comes to higher studies. Let’s say, if you want to pursue your career in the field of arts or theatre, you might not get as many course options in Indian colleges as you can get in a UK-based college.

4. Infrastructure: A sound education system requires a sound infrastructure. In India, the infrastructure quality has improved but still lacks many parameters if compared to the UK education system. Then Indian schools, especially the one in the rural areas do not have well-facilitated laboratories, smart classes and other such components that are important in modern day education.

5. Opportunity for skill development: In India, the main focus is to make students learn the things that are important to score good marks in the exam. In UK, projects are given to students requiring intensive research that helps in skill management. Although it doesn’t mean that Indian students lack skills but the opportunity available here are less.

In some way, it would not be totally wrong to say that the education system in UK is somewhat better and advanced as compared to the education system in India. There are many things that can be learnt and adopted by the Indian education system to improve the quality of education offered in the country. On the other hand, the UK education system can be a bit stressful as the time given to complete the studies is less as compared to other education systems. Also, the students need to decide what they want to become at a very early age and you not free to change your choices easily.

How does the Education System of the UK Work?

The UK is globally recognized for its teaching excellence and is renowned for its research and development in various fields of study. It offers a vast scope for students to develop their critical and analytical thinking. The UK education system varies for the four jurisdictions - England, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. Each of these regions follows a different education system, qualifications, and individual laws/ regulations. Some of the characteristics of the UK education system is given below:

The UK education system is divided into primary education, secondary education, further education. and higher education

Undergraduate courses in the UK are designed to provide a thorough understanding of a subject of interest and help students get exposure to a whole new world after school

Postgraduate courses in the UK are more specific and involve in-depth study and are generally of 1-year duration

The UK also has several preparatory courses for seeking admission into universities through English Language learning programs or foundation-level courses

Primary education in the UK begins at age 5 and continues until age 11, comprising key stages one and two under the UK educational system

Secondary education in the UK comprises the key stages three and four under the UK education system. Students from the age 11 to 16 enter secondary school and move towards taking the GCSE

Primary and secondary education is mandatory for all students in the UK education system

Further education in the UK is for students planning to go to college or university after completion of secondary education. Students have an option to extend into further education to take their A-Levels, GNVQ's, BTEC's or other such qualifications

Higher education in the UK mostly comprises bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in various fields of study. International students generally enter directly into the UK Higher Education System after completing the equivalent of “further education in the UK” from their home country

Most schools in the UK follow the national curriculum that is a set of subjects and standards used by primary and secondary schools so all students learn the same things. All academies and private schools teach a broad and balanced curriculum including English, maths, and science and do not follow the national curriculum. The national curriculum is organized into blocks called “key stages”. The performance of all students is formally assessed at the end of each key stage.

Key Stages in the UK Education System

The UK education system consists of 4 key stages. The key stages are sorted based on the age of the students. Generally, key stages 1 and 2 will be undertaken at primary school after which a student will move onto secondary school and finish key stages 3 and 4. All the key stages in the UK education system are listed below:

Key Stage 1 (5-7 years)

Key Stage 2 (7-11 years)

Key Stage 3 (11-14 years)

Key Stage 4 (14-16 years)

Key Stage 1 (5-7 years)

At this level, children are in the primary school and are aged 5 to 7 years old. Key stage 1 essentially introduces students to the basic concepts of subjects such as English language, mathematics, history, physical education, geography, history, and music.

A student's ability to properly decode and comprehend phonics is assessed by phonic screening in the first year of this stage. Students  typically call out a list of 40 words to their teachers during phonic screening. These pupils will sit an examination at the end of this stage to measure their level of progress in different subjects like English, science, math, etc.

Key Stage 2 (7-11 years)

Children between the ages of 7 and 11 will be in the second key stage of the UK education system. They will now gain a bit more knowledge on core subjects as part of the curriculum. The following subjects are assessed at the end of this phase:

English reading

English grammar, punctuation and spelling

Mathematics

Science

The level of student improvement in Science is determined individually by the teacher, while in English and Mathematics, national assessments tests are used.

Key Stage 3 (11-14 years)

Students aged 11 to 14 are in the third key stage of their compulsory education. A good deal of their education occurs during this period because just a few years thereafter they will sit for the GCSE national exam. As the students progress through this stage of education, they will also study new subjects during which they are expected to gain some basic knowledge before moving forward.

In Key Stage 3, students study subjects like English, science, maths, art, history, music, geography, physical education, computing, modern foreign languages, etc. After completion of Key Stage 3, some students might appear for GCSE or other national examinations.

Key Stage 4 (14-16 years)

During the Key Stage 4 of compulsory education, students are aged 14 to 16. During this time, most students take the assessments that lead to GCSEs or other national qualifications. As part of the mandatory national curriculum, "core" and "foundation" subjects are included at this stage.

The following subjects are taught at Key Stage 4:

English

Mathematics

Science

Key Stage 4 subjects include the following "foundational" subjects:

Computing

Physical Education

Citizenship

Schools in the United Kingdom also offer one of the following subjects at this level of education:

Arts

Design and Technology

Humanities

Modern Foreign Languages

Quality Assurance System

One of the unique aspects of the UK's education system is its Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). It is an independent body that conducts regular audits and reviews of universities and colleges across the country.

Additionally, it identifies the best educational practices and provides feedback on what needs to be improved. Through this, students are provided with the best possible education. Private institutions, however, are not assessed by QAA.

Higher Education System in the UK

In the UK, students can pursue higher education by enrolling into bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs. In addition, international students may be able to transition directly to university level studies via pathway programs which typically include foundation courses and English language programs.

Undergraduate Studies

Bachelor's degrees in the UK usually take three years to complete, and the majority are offered at an honours level. During undergraduate courses, students are exposed to a complete new world after school while gaining a comprehensive understanding of a subject of interest. There is a wide range of courses offered in the UK in various disciplines, including business, science, arts, humanities, social sciences, design, technology, and many others.

Postgraduate Studies

Courses at the postgraduate level are more specific and require in-depth study. Master's degree programs in the UK usually last for one year. Therefore, PG courses in the UK have a shorter duration than courses in other countries.  The country provides a wide range of programs, including niche courses that are in high demand in the industry.

High-achieving applicants with at least 2 years of managerial experience are preferred for admission to PG programs. The duration of a PhD program in the UK can be between 2 and 7 years.

UK Tuition Fees and Costs

If you're applying to universities in the UK, you will need to check their website before making any further plans for your studies as the tuition fees varies from one university to another.

Tuition fees in the UK are determined by two factors:

The location of your university in the UK (different rules apply to England, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland)

Your level of study – bachelors, masters or doctorate

The undergraduate tuition fees at UK universities typically range from £10,000 to £18,000 depending on the school and course. The cost of postgraduate courses depends on the program, the length of the course, and the institution offering it.

Financial Aid

There are numerous forms of financial assistance available to students in the UK, such as scholarships, grants, fellowships, bursaries, and financial awards. These are offered by the government, public/private organizations or universities.

There are a number of students who apply for these scholarships, so it is recommended that you apply early and stay informed of the application deadlines. Consider looking into UK scholarships for Indian students if you plan on studying in the UK!

Canada Education System Vs UK Education System

The UK education system emphasizes grades and scales and is a more traditional form of education. The Canadian education system on the other hand follows a more holistic approach where teaching and extracurricular activities are based around learning. Given below is the difference in the Canadian education system vs UK education system:

The UK education system is based around scales and grades and is more traditional in nature. The Canadian education system follows a more holistic style of grading children

Canadian education is positioned well above UK education in terms of student performance and quality of education

Admission to undergraduate courses in the UK require a minimum of 13 years of pre-university education whereas admission to undergraduate programs in Canada require the students to have completed 12 years of schooling

UK Vs US Education System

According to a report by Times Higher Education, more than half of the world’s top 200 universities are located in either the US or the UK. Both countries offer quality higher education, excellent research facilities, and a culture that promotes intellectualism as well as academic freedom. However, there are several differences in the education systems of both countries regarding the structure of the university as well as student life. The main differences in the UK vs US education system are given below:

The most crucial difference in the UK and the US education system is the amount of time it takes to finish a degree program. A degree program in the US takes about one year longer than programs in the UK.

Courses of study are shorter and more focused in the UK as compared to the courses in the US education system

In the US education system, one can go directly to a Ph.D. program after completion of an undergraduate degree program. But in the UK, it is more common to complete a master’s degree program before moving on to a Ph.D. degree.

Another major difference is the university organization between both education systems. Most universities in the UK are made up of individual colleges which are dedicated to a specific subject matter. Each college has a lot of autonomy from each other and also with the university itself while still being governed by the university. On the other hand, in the US education system, a student applies for admission to a larger university and students take courses from a variety of fields for the first year or more and declare a major only at the end of the first or second year.

The general emphasis of higher education in the US is the breadth where students get a range of knowledge from a variety of different subjects. In the UK, the emphasis is more on depth; where students get a very thorough understanding of the chosen subject.

Indian Vs UK Education System

The Indian education system is lacking in a variety of factors in spite of having world-class education institutions like the IITs and IIMs. The Indian education system is not as updated as the UK education system in providing better education to undergraduates and postgraduates. The difference between the education system in UK and India are as follows:

Undergraduate courses in India are better for students mainly in terms of cost. The UK on the other hand has an edge over India when it comes to graduate and doctoral programs

The Indian education system is focused more on theory than practical. The UK education system allows students to be creative and emphasizes practical-based learning

Master’s degree programs in the UK are shorted and can be completed in one year. Master’s courses in India are of 2-3 years duration

In the UK, students are entitled to work during the course of their studies that helps them get international exposure and also get extra income to cover part of their living expenses

The quality of education offered at UK education institutions is far better than the education offered under the Indian education system. The teachers are professional and industry-trained to offer good education

The UK education system is advanced in terms of the use of technology. Students are offered online notes and the use of projectors and educational software are quite common in the UK. India, on the other hand, has very few schools with advanced facilities especially in the rural areas

Another main difference is that the UK offers a wide variety of subject choices for the students, especially in higher education. India doesn’t have as many course options for students in different fields of study

The UK education system offers opportunities for skill development. Students are given projects requiring intensive research that helps in skill management. The Indian education system mainly focuses on making students learn the things that are important to score good marks in the exam

The UK has a good infrastructure that is required for a good education system. The Indian infrastructure has improved over the years but still lacks in certain parameters as compared to the UK education system. Several Indian schools do not have well-facilitated laboratories, smart classes, and other such components that are important for a quality education system.

Conclusion

It is not totally wrong to say that the UK education system is much better and advanced than the education system of most other countries. But it can also be a little stressful for students in the UK education system as the time given to complete the studies is less as compared to other education systems. Each level of education in the UK has varying requirements which must be satisfied in order to gain admission to the course at that level.

The UK also offers online education to students from all over the world who do not wish to relocate due to various reasons. To conclude, the education system of the UK is top-notch and preferred by students belonging to different countries in Europe. The UK is welcoming to students from different nationalities and offers a safe and secure environment for students to be able to live in the UK and study a course of their choice.

Look for Incongruent Behaviors

You should pay careful attention if someone's words do not match their nonverbal behaviors. For example, someone might tell you they are happy while frowning and staring at the ground.

When words fail to match up with nonverbal signals, people often ignore what has been said and focus instead on unspoken expressions of moods, thoughts, and emotions. Therapists, for example, utilize these incongruencies to look for how a client might feel during a session.

So when someone says one thing, but their body language suggests something else, it can be helpful to pay extra attention to those subtle nonverbal cues.

Be aware that other factors might contribute to these differences. Physical challenges may affect a person's ability to convey signals, so consider other reasons why words and behaviors might not match up.
