Start Dates
One of the reasons we have been putting our efforts into high gear lately was because we were hoping that Mohd could be accepted into USM for their April intake of Intensive English. Because of the very short amount of time available for USM to accept him, we will be expecting him to join the July intake.
The good news about Mohd starting in July is that we have a few months to set everything up for his arrival. More importantly, we now have a schedule for all of you (with dates) and can buy flight tickets. As we raise more money we will pay for these items and log them in the forthcoming ‘Receipts’ section. His Intensive English placement test is most likely going to be June 25th and his programme will start on July 5th.
We had the opportunity to talk to one of the Intensive English Language instructors at USM the other day and were very impressed by what we heard. In addition to highly recommending the programme, she also told us about the Ethiopian students who are in her class currently. Her level of English was much more advanced than the manager of the language centre I contacted last week. We know that the type of programme that USM supports is a very good one, but we are also keeping our eyes open for any other programmes which might provide the same level of education at a lower cost. We will keep you all updated on any news.
