12. I Mr Almasto Kapoor launched Silver Fern Education Consultants in 2009, and Mr Shivam Garg officially joined as a partner in 2014. This partnership between two incredibly intelligent, honest, and ambitious leaders created the stage for an exceptional turnaround. This flamboyant duo hasn't looked back since and has continued to progress. While Silver Fern originally served only New Zealand as a study destination, it eventually grew to serve all of the world's top academic locations, including Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, n the era of excessive information, establishing authenticity as a genuine source of knowledge and information is undoubtedly challenging.

17. Expanding the Visions The entire idea of the inception of Silver Fern Education Consultants was inspired by the need to assist young learners and show them the right direction to emerge as global leaders. Almasto Kapoor and Shivam Garg, the men behind Silver Fern, have always been passionate about setting an example and enacting significant change. Their passion and conviction became the core driving force behind Silver Fern. Fern as a leading education consulting company since 2009, Silver Fern Education Consultants will accept nothing less than excellence, quality, and honesty. The company's primary goal is to assist and advise students seeking an education abroad. The guidance is comprehensive, spanning the entire student journey from applying for overseas education to settling down once students reach their dream destinations. As a business, Silver Fern aspires to grow not only in terms of numbers, but more essentially in terms of the value addition offered to students in helping them succeed across various spheres of life. Originating in the city of Chandigarh and having established a stronghold in the beautiful city. internationally, and they are regularly recognized as one of the best consultants in the nation for their unwavering excellence and openness. Over fourteen years, the organization has successfully recruited between 800-900 students and obtained more than 16,000 student visas. transparency, ethically conducting business, and prioritizing the needs of students. Silver Fern collaborates closely with students, institutions, and all other stakeholders to create the best possible outcomes for all parties involved. Pointing In the Right Direction Making reliable information available to everyone has proven to be Silver Fern's most significant challenge. The corresponding industry, specifically North India, is widespread with false information about international higher education. As a result, parents and students are likely to make mistakes. The company works to ensure students have access to reliable information so they can make informed decisions. Their ethos is built upon their tireless endeavor to make the journey students undertake as comfortable as possible through many services. They have a brilliant team of dedicated professionals that ensure the best outcome for each student who chooses them. The faith that collaborating universities and colleges instill in the organization shows the uncompromising and firm principles they stand for, and the value thus offer. Building a student's profile is advantageous, but it must be done with two things in mind above all else. First and foremost, it needs to be subject- focused, show the student's passion for the subject, and, most crucially, get them ready for the rigorous academic demands of the course. The second step is to emphasize a student's uniqueness to the admissions committee, and the value addition students can provide. Working for Student Welfare The company's vision encompasses a multidimensional approach to offering value addition at each step of customer service and personalizing customers' experiences. The organization is more than happy to provide services and solutions tailored to perfection for every client or student it caters to. Silver Fern aspires to guide and aid students in achieving their dreams of a better future through quality overseas education. Silver Fern assists students in identifying and applying to institutions that align with their academic and career goals, providing guidance on financial aid and scholarship options, and offering support throughout the enrollment process. With the welfare of students as the primary concern, Silver Fern works to establish new partnerships with universities and colleges throughout the globe so that clients can profit from the efforts in the form of successful career paths. The company's core values include maintaining Taking the Clouds Off of Abroad Learning People frequently hold preconceived notions about concepts that are foreign to them, and this is undoubtedly true in international education. Mr Almasto says, "Learn as much as you can about the country and institution you want to attend as a strategy to combat misconceptions." One will be better able to grasp the situation's truth and be more self-assured while addressing any pre-conceived notions or stereotypes that others may hold. The vision of Silver Fern to grow into other cities and provide reliable services to more and more people around the country was further realized. Having said that, the group has subsequently grown to include Amritsar, Gujarat, Mumbai, Sangrur, Patiala, and Ludhiana. Additionally, the organization expanded internationally by opening an office in Mississauga, Canada, giving Silver Fern new heights and adding another feather to its cap. They are currently working with more than 450 institutions across six different nations

18. Guiding Notes for Future Generation In pursuing success, there can never be a replacement for consistency in hard work and integrity. This is the idea Silver Fern puts forth collectively as a family and inspires youngsters to develop a growth mindset and believe in the process of continuous learning. Mr Shivam has worked tirelessly to achieve his goals. Additionally, he emphasizes that trusting one's own judgment is essential for success. even worse, of putting off making a decision. He says, "Don't live in terror of what may have been; instead, make mistakes and learn from them. But most importantly, you have to play a part in the whole. Complete that pending assignment. Carry out that online investigation. Reach out to that lost lead repeatedly. Network in a dynamic way." He also adds that these habits helped him, and he is confident they would support the young aspirants. Particularly in Chandigarh, the society has a thriving start-up culture; thus young generation shouldn't be hesitant to take chances to capitalize on it. Here are some worthwhile strategies to address the stereotypes: Be receptive to others' viewpoints: It's crucial to be receptive to hearing others' views and to make an effort to comprehend where they are coming from. This can make for a more fruitful conversation and may be even lead to new knowledge. Provide accurate information: If a statement is made that one is aware is false or deceptive, one can try providing factual facts to dispel the misunderstanding. If someone claims that all universities abroad are expensive, one may educate them about the scholarships or financial aid programs offered. Avoid taking a defensive stance: It can be easy to do so when someone questions their beliefs or presumptions but doing so frequently is ineffective. Try to maintain your composure and concentrate on what is being said. Ÿ Ÿ According to Mr Shivam, the perfect recipe for disaster is the fear of choosing the wrong course of action or, Ÿ Testimonial Ishaan Nandhwani Testimonial Suryajit Saini "I had an excellent experience with Silver Fern. They have helped and guided me at every stage, from university application to study permit—professional staff who are very quick and responsive. I credit Silver Fern, especially Rahul sir and Sushma mam, for helping my dream of studying abroad become a reality. I highly recommend their services." "Working with Silver Fern was a great experience. When I contacted them in March, they handled my profile urgently and were available whenever I needed help. I've received acceptance letters from the University College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for my chosen courses. Shushma Ma'am was amazingly understanding, patient, and always there to answer all my queries. She made the whole process of applying to universities a breeze! I strongly advise you to work with Silver Fern."

20. Expanding to Reach Every Student To ensure that people from all regions of the country can access high-quality foreign education services, one of the critical principles of the company's future objectives is to expand methodically to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. In order to scale the business and create a positive change that impacts the entire world, the company also has aggressive worldwide expansion goals. Other than them, one of Silver Fern's future aims is to enlist new stakeholders through successful partnerships and broaden the range of services provided while maintaining the highest quality standards. The company takes pride in its vision to make global leaders out of young girls and boys and empower them to bring change. While business growth is on the agenda, the company also envisions a future where it can offer more to society, emancipate more leaders, and benchmark industry standards.

Fifty percent of the children are living in poverty. Not every child knows the Spanish language, but in-core, they speak sixty-five different languages.

We can see the active participation of Mexican educational institutions in regional and bilateral programs, which is improving good relations and financial stability with western and other international institutions. Ÿ Ÿ It is not easy to solve these problems in a day or two. The federal government of Mexico has been looking into these factors since 2012, and many educational organizations are acting to solve these problems amid the COVID-19. The President of Mexico made the vow to demand education by setting up various new plans to build one hundred universities across the country with a statement, "Every person has a right and should be educated with proper and quality assured knowledge." This journey of improving Mexico's education system has led it into a new development era. Looking at efforts of the federal government are maintaining and building new relationships with educational institutions, agencies, and grant institutions, due to which the students are increasingly showing their interest towards quality education programs abroad.

The growing number of HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) provides quality education and programs for high school graduates in their international student mobility, which provides them with a chance at international placements in top-notch countries like the USA, Germany, UK and Australia. The social media channels are also utilizing their platform as an effective recruitment tool to promote academic programs to Mexican students, to enhance the reach and create a new image of education and to keep them updated about the latest trends in the Mexican educational sector.

In the last lines of this forever young masterpiece, Robert Frost writes, On the other hand, with proper guidance and connecting with the right people, these choices can be enhanced and allow the youth to make the right choice even before the beginning of their career. "I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

With the burden of choices falling on youngsters, they often end up making wrong or uninformed choices that limit their growth for a fulfilling and holistic career. Having said that, the critically acclaimed poem of Robert Frost, 'The Road Less Travelled,' shows us the meaning of how this choice can And in an exclusive interaction with the Founder and CEO of Ever Aspire Consulting, Ketan Trivedi, he shared some of the detailed intricacies of the consultancy and how it can become one of the most trusted consultancies in the country.

Further sharing the intricacies of ever aspiring to consult in its business space, Ketan highlights, "The growth potential that this business offers also was one factor that motivated us to choose this line.

A recent study estimated that 1.8 million Indians will be spending US $85 billion on education overseas by 2024, a large majority of whom are looking at global professional opportunities and world-class universities as key reasons to study abroad.

The Changing Scenario of Education in the Caribbean Islands “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” - Benjamin Franklin S between a collection of beautiful tropical islands, with miles of turquoise sea and plenty of biodiversity with lush green valleys and mountains with certain breath-taking views of the beach and tranquil water. Imagine studying in such beautiful surroundings with the addition of glorious and vintage architecture. Fortunately, fun and studies happily coexist alongside beaches. The main reason behind most of the students who enrolled themselves at the university does not require any extra time in learning a foreign language before initiating their studies. Populated for 6,000 years, these islands are a blend of different languages like English, Spanish, French, and many of the Dutch-speaking nations. But the Caribbean holds its prestigious own Creole culture which includes more than six Creole languages, including Papiamento, Sranan, and Patios. tudying in the Caribbean Islands is like studying in heaven or paradise. Imagine a college The education and studies are akin to those institutes in the US. Students have an option to choose two-year community colleges with an allocation of a transfer to another institution for further study. Technical schools are offering associate degrees and vocational courses. Traditional four- January 2023 | 38 | www.theknowledgereview.com

The Caribbean Islands have an option for medical schools which are Regional and Offshore. The regional medical universities prepare the medical students to practice in the country, where the school was established. Postgraduate institutions present both professional and research degrees in alternative subjects and several private medical schools located in the region, providing the students with an opportunity to qualify as an MD or practice a career affiliated with health care. An additional reason for studying in the Caribbean is such an appealing choice for US students due to the lack of a language hindrance and is different to regions such as Mexico, Central and South America, and certain parts of French-speaking Canada as most of the Caribbean Islands use English as their primary language. Though offshore medical universities of the Caribbean Islands prepare their students from countries like the US and Canada and a few emerging countries such as India, Brazil and Nigeria, the students plan to return home for placement or clinical procedures after their graduation. They can progressively practice their medical career in their home countries afterwards, as it is easily possible by pursuing MD from the Caribbean Universities by clearing the tests like MCI screening or FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) proficiently after the degree accomplishment. Caribbean medical schools are cheap and affordable in comparison to those in Europe and the American regions and have a high-profile recognition. This becomes an important factor and the main reason for so many international students in large numbers to pursue their studies in medical and other related courses with an option of scholarship which includes university fees and other services within related courses. There are several scholarship options available with plenty of advantages for the students. Just like these English-speaking islands, Spanish is spoken in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic whereas French is spoken on a number of islands such as Haiti, Saint Martin, French Guiana, and Guadeloupe. Thus, travelling to nearby islands throughout your time abroad will provide you with a wide-ranging continuum of diversity to experience and admire. The degrees which are offered in the Medical Universities of the Caribbean, are certified and registered by the World Directory of Medical Schools. In the past few years, the Caribbean Islands have presented a swift and rapid development for its colleges with a record of impeccably significant regard for the medical education system. Some top-notch universities and medical schools of learning in the Caribbean are offering quality education following the American or British (at some places) type of the education system with prominence and consideration for its increasing foreign student's society. Studying in the Caribbean means that you can often find yourself running through the days on the beach and in its turquoise clear waters. From the renowned Punta Cana coastline in the Dominican Republic to Playa Paraiso in Cuba, it is no wonder that the Caribbean beaches are a popular gathering for students and locals alike. Feeling active? Enjoy the time on a jet- ski with your friend or go scuba diving amongst one of the Caribbean's beautiful coral reefs. If fatigue kicks in, you can look forward to bolstering friendships while chilling on the shimmering sandy beaches and dining by the beach with the wind flowing through your hair. After becoming the MD (Physician) from the Caribbean, which is equivalent to any MBBS qualification in most of the countries, people can start practising in the Caribbean Islands as well. One can pursue post- graduation studies from the Caribbean Universities and look forward to settling in the Caribbean Islands itself and this career path is chosen by many former. There are great future prospects in the Caribbean and few in abroad as well. Such impeccable developments are receiving successful feedback by changing the educational scenario in Caribbean Islands.
