Discussion
Higher education is the primary step towards the professional career. This essay discusses two
major benefits of receiving education in UK. As analysed by UK based processes like
Ponnuswamy and Manohar (2016), high quality of education is the most essential factor that
attracts domestic as well as international students in UK for higher education. In fact Skinner,
Leavey and Rothi (2018), inform that more than 500000 international students enrolled for
higher education in UK, every academic year (Roser and Ortiz-Ospina 2017). Empirical analysis

for assessment of the quality of education in UK reviews that majority of the top rated
universities is located in this part of the world. in higher education, the colleges of UK also have
a global regulations for world class research Laboratories. The education degrees as well as the
academic qualification are that the students gain from universities of UK is highly recognised by
major MNC and Higher Education Board all over the world. The highly Professional Academic
courses UK allows the students to develop key skills, critical thinking, targeted knowledge as
well as major industrial connections which helps to forward their careers. There is also great
opportunity for students to get high quality post graduate degrees where some of the Frontline
universities offer sponsorship to the students for extending their tier 4 visa (McKay et al. 2016).
In fact, Godfrey (2016), assesses that the superior quality of education in the colleges of UK is
insured by the precise tenure of the academic courses. Compared to other parts of the world
where academic courses are of 4 to 5 years for post graduation, the colleges of UK complete the
same courses in 3 years. In UK the academic courses exercises that the students can concentrate
on studying one major subject in depth only (Verger, Zancajo and Fontdevila 2018). Whereas in
other parts of the world, general education various subjects are provided in the college courses
which does not allow the students to focus on their specific tree of education.
Another big advantage for hydration students in UK is the professional teaching method
employed by the professors here. In this context Lumby and Foskett (2016), highlights that
problem enquiry based learning is one of the most innovative teaching techniques that helps the
students to solve real life situations. This is often combined with field trips as well as
experiences that place is the student in simulated or real life settings. These experiences allow
the students to implement the different frameworks into practice accelerate their learning with
significant edge over competition when the students graduate.

This essay is also aimed to analyse the demerits of the system of education in UK. One primary
advantage is that students how to decide the specific major subject they want to pursue before
starting the Academy course. There is no permission to change their Major course after 2 or 3
semesters.
Another demerit of the system of education is that the students are under extreme pressure while
studying in UK. They remain stressed and are also sleep deprived during the time of
examinations. Sobe (2015), analyses that the pressure factor for students in UK universities is the
rigid and strict attitude of the professors.
India is my country and here in this essay I would like to criticize essential aspects of Indian
education in light of education system of UK. The union government and state governments of
India controls the education system of the country. Indian constitution, education has been
referred to as one of the fundamental rights for the citizens. However, most of the Indian
universities are controlled in some way or the other by the Union and the state governments. In
the period between 1950 till 2018, India has made remarkable progress in terms of providing
primary education and increasing the rate of literacy in the country (Marshall 2019). More than
two third of the people of the country are educated now. In fact Sharma and Mir (2019), views
that the increase in the conditions of literacy and higher education in the country is one of the
main contributor factors behind the stability of the economic condition in India. Along with
primary education Ponnuswamy and Manohar (2016), observed that India has made significant
progress in terms of Higher Education also. Thesameresearcher also provides evidence of
scientific research that has when remarkably progressive in various public Institutions of India.
