Hi Zahra29 et al I need clarification please. I have a child who's 1 year and half. I'm currently working full time. I tried enrolling her for the free 15 hours childcare for children between 9 months and 2 years but was told I wasn't eligible because I'm not entitled to public funds. Does it mean all African migrants don't automatically qualify for this scheme by the government?

Not just africans LOL but all migrants who have no recourse to public funds are not entitled. America001: 3 Likes |

America001: Yes, but as Bourne007 said, not just Africans but any migrant who doesn't have access to public funds (unless one of the parents is British or has ILR) 1 Like |

Zahra29: Anyway, England especially has been subtly doing this by placing experience above academic qualifications. But the place of a degree cannot be taken by anything else. |

I thought Air Peace claimed to be disruptor, on the LGW - LOS route.........😜 Imagine my disappointment, when they are attempting to charge £1200 for a July flight..... |

African migrants? that sounds funny.. all migrants, irrespective of race..... A lot of Brits also can't access public funds; there are many factors to it... America001: 1 Like |

Been seeing people showing pictures of empty planes when they board during their flights and complaining Nigerians are not supporting the busniess Lets not forget that July is summer time and so they know demand will be high for summer trips from Nigeria ,..however, i don't know if there will be demand for trips from UK to Naija Lexusgs430: |

ehizario2012: Yes it can - by valid skills and industry experience - that's the whole point. A plumber does not need a degree, nurses didn't require degrees back in the day and they are talking about reverting to the former model, neither do electricians or builders or care workers or firefighters or pilots or photographers or carpenters or graphic designers or prison officers or train drivers...I could go on. Many of the above professions are in demand and pay very well but are often looked down on in favour of academic degrees by Nigerians, Indians etc until they travel out and then start looking for ways to learn welding ![]() We've ended up with surplus universities, many of which were former polytechnics, offering low quality/irrelevant courses that provide no real value in the real world -young people coming out with £50k plus worth of debt that many will service for life due to low salaries and high interest. It is right to consider viable options like apprenticeships or degree apprenticeships. 5 Likes |

Zahra29: Zahra I was so shocked when i saw UCL had BA in ‘Viking and Norse studies’.I’m not one to judge people’s choices but it’s a ridiculous degree to have and you’ll still have students take student loans to study these kind of courses. 2 Likes |

Brethren please help. What's the cheapest way to transfer pounds to a GBP account in Naija. I need to hold £ in Nigeria for a few weeks and then repatriate back to the UK. The cost of using SWIFT with the regular high street banks is too high. |

Greetings everyone, What do you advise, I wanted to renew my rent contract, but Landlord is suggesting i don’t need to extend, as the contract automatically goes into a rolling contract after 12 months. Do you think I should insist on getting a new contract ? 1 Like |
