hello all

Unfortunately many people who are fully qualified in their field in the Philippines find that their qualifications are not worth a bean in the UK and find that they have to go through re-training before they can work here.

Tell me about it ... even teachers! As I've mentioned on here before, Myrna taught at Panabo National High School in Mindanao for twenty-two years ... But, sadly, her BSc/Part Mastoral qualifications aren't recognised by the Scottish Education Department. And, with HER being ineligible to apply for any Government Grants ... on account of not having permanent residency ... and MY being a State Pensioner ... retraining is completely out of the question financially, at present ...

... all the same, I still believe it IS worthwhile our friend taking the opportunity of contacting the RPSGB; if nothing else, it shows initiative!
