Golden education?
In my search for a destiny after my A' Level, I have been searching the internet for all the relevant information I could find and also visited student-counselling centres for both the US and Australia. With the knowledge about the quality of education in the UK, I wanted some information regarding their education. So I checked out the web-site of the British Council in Bangladesh.
On that web-site I came across a new facility that the Council has started to provide, which they have named "Professional Advisory Service for Students (PASS)". According to that web-site , "For the equivalent of £120 we will assign one of our staff to help you select and apply for your chosen university or college. They will also help you to put your visa documents together". I was utterly shocked by this. Why on earth would anyone have to pay such an amount of money which is more than Tk 10,000 ? Is it not a rather whimsical amount to ask for, just for giving students advice on choosing a university and then organising the visa papers?
