When a Forbes India Senior anchor asked me how the student mobility industry supports India’s economy, my answer was simple — just look at the numbers. As the CEO of a bootstrapped EdTech company handling 20,000+ student applications annually, I’ve seen firsthand how this ecosystem uplifts thousands of lives — without any external funding, just pure passion and purpose. 🌍 In 2023, Indian students sent $20B+ to overseas universities. 💸 But in 2024, $100B+ was remitted back to India by Indians abroad. That’s the real impact of global mobility. Beyond money, each student going abroad creates employment — ✔️ For coaching centres ✔️ For University reps across the world ✔️ For airlines, accommodation providers, and banks ✔️ And for thousands of consultants and immigration professionals who pay high GST and income taxes, driving India’s service economy. It’s time we recognize this sector not as a challenge — but as a strategic contributor to India’s global footprint. Would love to hear views from other professionals shaping this industry. #EdTech #Immigration #StudentMobility #IndiaGrowthStory #Unizportal

🅰️ Teacher's Feedback to Students 🔄 1. Feedback Process: 1. Observation – Monitor student performance during or after tasks. 2. Analysis – Identify strengths and areas for improvement. 3. Clarification – Make sure students understand the feedback. 4. Action – Give suggestions for improvement and next steps. 5. Follow-up – Reassess to check if feedback was applied. 📘 2. Types of Feedback Content: Descriptive Feedback: Tells the student what they did and why it's effective or needs improvement. “You included three supporting details—this made your argument stronger.” Evaluative Feedback: Focuses on grades or scores. “You scored 7/10 on the quiz.” Formative Feedback: Aimed at improving performance before final grading. “Try reading your paragraph aloud to check if it flows better.” Summative Feedback: Given after completion of work for final evaluation. “Well-structured essay with good evidence, but the conclusion could be stronger.” 🌟 3. Best Strategies for Giving Feedback: ✔ 1. Use the "WWW/EBI" Method What Went Well + Even Better If “Your introduction grabs attention (WWW), but adding a thesis statement would improve clarity (EBI).” ✔ 2. The "Sandwich Strategy" Start with positive feedback, then constructive comment, and end with encouragement. “Great choice of vocabulary. Some sentences were unclear—try breaking them down. Keep up the creative effort!” ✔ 3. Immediate and Specific Feedback Give it right after the task and use precise language. “You solved the equation correctly but forgot to include units. Next time, double-check your final answer.” ✔ 4. Use of Visuals or Codes Mark errors with symbols or color codes students understand. ✔ = Correct, ✖ = Recheck, ? = Needs clarification ✔ 5. Two Stars and a Wish Two strengths and one improvement tip > 🌟 You stayed on topic. 🌟 Your handwriting is neat. 🌈 Try adding more detail in your explanation. 🎯 Examples: “You’ve improved your paragraph structure. To enhance clarity, try using linking words like 'however' or 'in addition’.” “Your science diagram is labeled well. Next time, double-check spelling to avoid errors like ‘cel’ instead of ‘cell’.”
