A Message from Lord Pickles and Lord Blunkett, followed by Angloslav International's best practice article

The ability to listen and learn from one another has always been vital in parliament, in business and in most aspects of daily life. But at this particular moment in time, as national and global events continue to reiterate, it is uncommonly crucial that we forge new channels of communication and reinforce existing ones. The following article from Angloslav International is an attempt to do just that. We would welcome your thoughts on this or any other Parliamentary Review article.

Director Inga Neaves

A noble shoot grafted

for life

The United Kingdom has a long and proud history of

culture and academic excellence and it is for this reason

so many people come to the UK from abroad to study.

For over two decades, Scion Mastery, formerly Angloslav

Education, has helped nurture the next generation. A scion is

an inheritor, not of wealth, but of learning – and each of their

students embraces the responsibility to achieve the best possible

education and harness their innate ability. Director Inga Neaves

tells

The Parliamentary Review

more.

Our raison d’être

Graduate students from prestigious schools and elite universities are better

educated, better trained and better prepared for achievements and success than

ever before. Modern scion leads structured, supervised and fully organised skill-

enhancing activities, live. There is a generation of students who are extraordinarily

bright, morally earnest and incredibly industrious.

This generation is entering the workforce without challenging themselves and with

a responsibility to carry the world on their shoulders. We believe children ought to

be more in control of their dreams and aspirations, exposed to real life as early as

possible, preferably from the age of nine.

As parents we push and discipline children, letting them fall and raise themselves,

in order to give them the chance to achieve more. Often, we might not see the

result of our investment for 20 to 30

years, but we know that it is the right

thing to do. Authentic parenting is an

art: of loving support without being

a dictator, yet there is no institute

for parenting. Our multidisciplinary

approach allows us to stay creative

and dynamic while collaborating

with parents, students and schools to

create a pyramid, at the apex of which

liessuccess.

Spotting passion, nurturing

talent

It is necessary to identify aptitudes and

genuine interests in children – traits

that can be apparent as early as age

six. Talent and passion on their own

do not lead to an interesting and

fulfilling life. Using a uniquely tailored

approach, we inspire each individual

and guide them through their career

confidently, giving them the ability to

fully master their skills. At the heart

of our approach lies an open, secure

environment that gives our clients

and students confidence to express

aspirations, ideas and concerns in

pursuit of their vocation.

After identifying what success means

for individuals, we take them through

the important stage of elimination:

eliminate who you are not, and you

will have a better chance to find out

who you are. The next step is to set

a personal protocol that consists

of tradition. Regardless of age, we

encourage our clients to expand

their horizons, fulfil their potential,

embrace new experiences, celebrate

achievement and take responsibility for

their future.

A constant awareness of

change

An Oxbridge degree is not a guarantee

of financial and social success, but

nor is dropping out of university and

leaving home at 15. To be able to

help our clients to remain afloat in a

rapidly changing world, we carefully

monitor trends in the job market

and education before these patterns

become widely accepted as a norm.

A bachelor’s degree is becoming

the standard education level. Top

companies have created their own

tests and interview processes, whereby

much emphasis is placed on the skills

a candidate already has and intends

toacquire.

School and an undergraduate degree

are a great place to start. Each activity

that you choose to participate in, each

role you embark on and opportunity

you take will have some benefit,

whether in the form of income,

skill development, experience or

geographic location. Every activity

we offer to our clients focuses

on developing skills and pursuing

opportunities with joy and excitement.

The educational reforms of 2015

have made many aspects of the

examination system more rigorous

and difficult. Academic coaches act as

mentors in an adult world. They know

their subject well and understand

that decision-making and functional

skills are important in achieving high

marks in exams. Academic coaches

teach our students executive function

skills such as: how to discover the

time needed to be ready for the

exam, how to break a long journey

into smaller parts, how to identify

an opportunity cost and how to stay

focused and alert. We teach students

to be responsible for their actions at

all times.

The digital revolution is opening up

a great divide between a skilled and

wealthy few and the rest of society.

Last year we saw a rise in demand

for web CVs as a part of the job

application process. We ensure that

our students understand the limitations

they have in the job market if their

knowledge of technology only extends

as far as playing computer games.

We match the student’s ability and

personality to an appropriate way

for them to acquire technical skills,

whether individual, online or a boot-

camp type of education.

We’ve created a range of activities

that accurately emulate real-world

scenarios. Those who engage in

these are much better equipped to

participate in the professional world.

Such efforts can also be of value

where intergenerational wealth risks

breeding complacency in its successive

heirs. Being an indispensable pillar of

a successful life, it is incumbent upon

us to impart such knowledge. The

ability to read financial statements,

understand a salary structure, budget

and plan will be a huge boost in

almost any career.

Post-Brexit

The prospect of leaving the EU does

not seem to have affected foreign

interest in attending schools and

universities in Britain, despite fears to

the contrary in some circles. Indeed,

we continue to see reinforced positive

attitudes in our clients towards the

British education system. Multicultural

British society is filled with energy

and enthusiasm and provides endless

opportunity. London is a capital of

the financial and high-tech industry,

art and philosophy, government

and education. Many parents have

high ambitions for their children and

they want them to receive a world-

class education in an increasingly

internationalised world, a world in

which borders are becoming ever less

consequential.

We are planning to expand our

existing provision, both geographically

and in terms of the range of our

offering. Ultimately, we believe that

everyone has a special talent within

them that can be developed. Our

strategies are neither easy nor quick,

but they are exciting, thorough,

sustainable and conducive to a life of

accomplishment and satisfaction. The

degree to which we are successful

in this pursuit is reflected in the

fact that many of our clients are

intergenerational and are attracted via

word-of-mouth recommendation. This

is a trajectory along which we expect

to continue.

We ensure that

our students

understand the

limitations they

have in the job

market if their

knowledge of

technology

only extends as

far as playing

computer

games

The Rt Hon Theresa May MP's Foreword For The Parliamentary Review

By The Rt Hon Theresa May MP

This foreword from the then Prime Minister appeared in the 2018/19 Parliamentary Review.

British politics provides ample material for analysis in the pages of The Parliamentary Review. For Her Majesty’s Government, our task in the year ahead is clear: to achieve the best Brexit deal for Britain and to carry on our work to build a more prosperous and united country – one that truly works for everyone.

The right Brexit deal will not be sufficient on its own to secure a more prosperous future for Britain. We also need to ensure that our economy is ready for what tomorrow will bring. Our Modern Industrial Strategy is our plan to do that. It means Government stepping up to secure the foundations of our productivity: providing an education system that delivers the skills our economy needs, improving school standards and transforming technical education; delivering infrastructure for growth; ensuring people have the homes they need in the places they want to live. It is all about taking action for the long-term that will pay dividends in the future.

But it also goes beyond that. Government, the private sector and academia working together as strategic partners achieve far more than we could separately. That is why we have set an ambitious goal of lifting UK public and private research and development investment to 2.4 per cent of GDP by 2027. It is why we are developing four Grand Challenges, the big drivers of social and economic change in the world today: harnessing artificial intelligence and the data revolution; leading in changes to the future of mobility; meeting the challenges of our ageing society; and driving ahead the revolution in clean growth. By focusing our efforts on making the most of these areas of enormous potential, we can develop new exports, grow new industries and create more good jobs in every part of our country.

Years of hard work and sacrifice from the British people have got our deficit down by over three quarters. We are building on this success by taking a balanced approach to public spending. We are continuing to deal with our debts, so that our economy can remain strong and we can protect people’s jobs, and at the same time we are investing in vital public services, like our NHS. We have set out plans to increase NHS funding annually by an average by 3.4 percent in real terms: that is £394 million a week more. In return, the NHS will produce a ten-year plan, led by doctors and nurses, to eliminate waste and improve patient care.

I believe that Britain can look to the future with confidence. We are leaving the EU and setting a new course for prosperity as a global trading nation. We have a Modern Industrial Strategy that is strengthening the foundations of our economy and helping us to seize the opportunities of the future. We are investing in the public services we all rely on and helping them to grow and improve. Building on our country’s great strengths – our world-class universities and researchers, our excellent services sector, our cutting edge manufacturers, our vibrant creative industries, our dedicated public servants – we can look towards a new decade that is ripe with possibility. The government I lead is doing all it can to make that brighter future a reality for everyone in our country.
