"Congratulations on your great feat. You can get fully funded scholarships in the US/Asia. Uk is very expensive while visa issue without scholarship in Germany is a big deal. I would suggest CSC, KGSP, DAAD, Erasmus et al."

"We have people with only masters here, teaching in polytechnics and colleges of education. So I beg to differ, if he actually knows what he had studied all this years. He won’t have a reason to go UAE in the first place."
