  What are your general thought on the education sector and how can it be improved?

  Education system in India should work like institutions which bring out the Industry ready students to be directly employed to the Corporate however unfortunately still we are unable to do so. The British Institutes as a brand has started this initiative while working with Primary and Secondary schools where we are developing the communication skills of the students right from Primary level of education so that they can be employable after their Graduation. It is very important to have knowledge and improve your communication skill which fills the  gap between education degrees to Job appointments. Most of the Engineering or Non- engineering institutions are not able to bridge this gap.This gap is of the effective communication in English which The British Institutes has mastered while using Oxford University Press content and CEFR based assessment, British Council Aptis product mix in English Language Skill development.
