Education Etiquette Elite

Universal Education standards for future education combines natural instinct, resource elimination, Improved lecture techniques and an abundance of natural learning processes to overcome the hurdles of societies education barriers. Education Etiquette Group unfolds education in individual procedures to intervene then counteract and remove the mentioned education barriers for our clients. These removed barriers lead our clients through a maze that never expects reward from a client’s achievement.Thousands of education departments exist within our world, all searching for true leaders. Questions of doubt have arisen on the capability of thousands of universities. It is impossible to teach at a level that provides world class business farness unless the whole system is finalised and governed by an improved education department of universal importance.

I have educated students and contributed business etiquette that should assist students in their chosen careers. The progression goes on between students, universities and later businesses as to where our next generation of business entrepreneurs will be sourced from. I have witnessed the works of students who are quietly spoken, controlled, understanding and most of all respectful on levels required as the movement towards globalisation continues.

Travel and Teach Around the World



At school we learn from text books, teachers, presentations, lecturers, headmasters or head mistresses. There are thousands of important lessons at school that we remember for own use as we reach maturity and begin to make important decisions for ourselves in society. Education is driven into our children from an early age and now more and more students choose higher education in search of a career. Eventually students graduate from universities, colleges and private schools. Many students choose to use a gap year in between studies to travel which for me is where life really begins.

Travelling and Teaching around the world provides vast opportunities to meet new people, enjoy diverse cultures and learn languages from places afar. I have travelled extensively over the years with some wonderful memories. I have learnt more from cultures than any given subject at school although Geography was my strength. The lessons I learnt at school are important but until I left school to contribute to society, utilise the information and put my new knowledge into good practice I felt useless. What’s the point in studying for many years and not been able to choose the career you desire?

Travelling and teaching in foreign countries welcomes new friends from different countries. As a school teacher working with foreign teachers I notice how teachers from abroad manage their lessons, making each valuable lesson work for the children. For me, this is what life is all about, learning from others and teaching without embarrassing others or hurting a person’s feelings? The same valuable lesson learnt whilst teaching in Thailand where loosing face in society brings extensive humiliation to a person. As teachers, we must learn more about our neighbours, our countries and our world to educate our children for a more peaceful world of mixed cultures.

I have travelled to 55 cities and 18 countries in eight years which has enlightened me with a new found knowledge that has opened doors to life’s hidden wonders. When you have been too countless countries you realise our world is actually a lot smaller than we think. My Travel has included occasional negative memories and scary realisations but overall the past eight years in education and travel have been a working adventure. I honestly recommend students to learn more about other cultures in preparation for their own careers. It's a great tool for business.

People grow old and never forget their teachers from school. A good teacher will always be embedded in the memory of a child. As a teacher’s favourite child remains in the archives of their memory. I have lots of favourite students and never forget their beautiful smiles, cheerful expressions, delightful personalities and characters.
children have a great natural talent at teaching adults. My students have completed project work in Asia that has simply amazed me. An indcredible amount of enjoyment in there studies
reflected on their projects. I have shared a couple of projects from the link below.

Poverty in Society - Bangladesh




Walking over the bridge I have noticed several beggars and thought nothing more than walking past. People tell me, giving to them only attracts others to yourself and the area. Today was different; I stopped and gave some money then carried on with my day. Something had changed today because after I met up with two young ladies in a Bangladesh coffee shop, one from Bangladesh, a Muslim and the other from china, a Christian. We talked about helping people and asked me to go to church with them the following Friday. We talked about the circumstances of been poor in a poor country and how seeing poverty effects us as human beings wanting to help, looking for answers to help these poverty torn countries and their people. I spoke of other countries, what I had seen and the effects it had on me as a person. I explained that eventually on my return to the United Kingdom I had many terrible memories of terrible poverty. I have become accustomed to seeing such sites but now wish to explain how as people who care can help these poor people around the world.

Here in Bangladesh I have met some wonderful people that do understand the problem and find that special part in their heart to help. This is my first time mentioning such poverty and would like offer you information on how you can help here in Bangladesh and the rest of the world. You simply can’t imagine how difficult it is to survive under such difficult conditions which for most has become a competitive environment, even for the poor fighting for a status in society in what little work and money they have. Many don’t even have a family. The terrible stories of self mutilation to become beggars fighting to provide for families are simply shocking. Other stories exist but I wish not to mention about them for my own safety.

I have been in an Asian country without money under difficult circumstances and knew at one point I would need help in finding a meal. The first day when I ran out of money through unemployment I was offered a meal by an English teacher who had travelled from South Korea on holiday. I was also offered a job in South Korea. I was lucky having understandable parents that could supply me with the air fare to my next destination another eye opener on other accounts. For some simply having a passport protects us against such problems but for those who will never leave their country you can imagine how simple and difficult their lives have become, there is no escape.

I have learnt a lot today that giving a little can bring huge rewards in a natural achievement in helping someone and takes less than one minute. Knowing you have helped someone eat, drink or supply medication for sickness has a great sense of satisfaction. Some are natural givers, some give occasionally, I gave today because something had changed and helped me realise I can help too. Please check out this website for more information on how you can help, what others are doing to help and the reason why there is a huge demand for people who care. You can help and learn more about the cause by understanding about poverty around the world.

Pahela Baishakh or Bangla New Year



Bangladeshi new Year is an exciting occasion at the school when students sing songs, wear beautifully coloured cultural clothing and eat lots of tasty Bangla food. I haven't eaten so much for years and it's such a vibrant celebration.

WE celebrate Pahela Baishakh or the Bangla New Year's Day today. Everything under the sun looks gay and cheerful and colourful, one is suddenly struck by the beauty of the grass, the sky, the trees - each and everything around looks pretty and radiates joy and happiness. It seems that the tired and weary sun of 1405 that set last evening carried along with it all the gloom, all the sorrows, all the melancholy and misery. Nothing that is painful or dull or dreary is left for 1406, and the sun rising with a new spirit and vigour this morning, rises in its full glory, radiating nothing gloomy, nothing sad, nothing pensive but only hope and happiness for the days to come.
Pahela Baishakh is indeed a momentous occasion in the life of each and every Bengalee. It is the first day of Bangla calendar year.

To every Bengalee, young and old, rich and poor, wise and ignorant, it is a time of gaiety to be celebrated with great merry-making, to be enjoyed in every possible manner, an occasion which enables us, in the words of Tennyson, to drink life to the lees.' It is a cruel irony of fate that a few orthodox Muslims in our country, shrouded by sheer ignorance, look down upon this Nababarsha festival, simply because they inadvertently consider it to be a festival of non-Muslim origin. But there is no shadow of doubt that the Bangla calendar that we follow today was introduced by the Muslims in this sub-continent.

The Pahela Baishakh so warmly celebrated all over the country today originated not from Bangladesh, but from an entirely different part of this sub-continent more than thousand miles away. What is more, the Bangla Saal was introduced not by any Bangladeshi but by a non-Bengalee in whose grandfather's vein flowed the blood of both Gengis Khan and Tamerlane.

Starz Angels







Here's another personal favourite of mine whilst travelling Singapore. Starz Angels, two DJ's from Paris highlighted the New Years Eve Sentosa Beach Party, with over 50 thousand people covering the beach, massive screens,a stage with live performances and plenty of beer tents. This place was full to the brim with people from all over the world. there were several foam parties letting out over a million gallons of foam, just like the famous foam parties on Ibiza. The stage was massive with more room than they needed but the Starz Angels covered the whole stage in between mixing electro from all the music spectrum. I hadn't heard of these two guys until I went to Sentosa but became hooked after they lifted the whole crowd with their style.

I think most would agree they were the highlight of the evening at Sentosa. Anyway i didn't realise they had worked with quite a few famous music artists and when reaching their website I noticed the albums or mixes they had covered, pretty impressive. I also noticed they didn't have that many fans in their facebook profile but that's gonns change if they keep up that kind of style. I spent most of the last hour in front of the sound engineers who cranked the sound up to a mind bending volume at the end of the evening. I haven't heard volume like that since the old rave venues in the United Kingdom back in the 1991. Even teachers have fun you know.
