You and me both fella! Although been here over 20 years now!

Unfortunately, for Yam to be able to teach again, she has to take her Maths, English and Science GCSE's. Once she has those, we have to check if her Filipino BA in English can be topped up or if she'll have to do a whole new degree. THEN, after that she can apply for the official teacher training course!

I don't envy her as this is going to take at least 5 years potentially before she would be in a position to be a teacher again. I've told her that if at any point she changes her mind and decides to change careers, then I'm cool with that as none of the education she'll have done will go to waste!

.... as none of the education she'll have done will go to waste!

Yes. No such thing as wasted education anyway. And no doubt the life in the UK test etc will be so much easier for her too.

I havent got my head round why the Phils degrees are so downrated here in the UK. I looked through my wifes degree transcript and it looked substantial enough......any thoughts on that?
