Edify World School, Attapur, Hyderabad, and St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine, Grenada, West Indies, have signed a renewable three-year Academic Affiliation Agreement to create a pathway for eligible Edify students interested in pursuing medical education abroad.

Under the agreement, eligible students applying to SGU’s five-year Doctor of Medicine (MD5) track will receive priority application consideration and a guaranteed admissions interview. Students admitted to the track will also be considered for partial merit-based scholarships, subject to eligibility criteria and applicable terms and conditions.

Students enrolled in SGU’s MD programmes will have access to clinical training opportunities through a network of more than 75 affiliated hospitals and health centres across the United States and the United Kingdom. The clinical experiences are intended to provide exposure to different healthcare environments and hands-on patient care.

Students who complete their secondary education and meet SGU’s admissions requirements can apply to the MD5 track. Those admitted can begin their medical education in Grenada or the United Kingdom.

Lily Phommarack, Assistant Director for International Academic Affiliates at St. George’s University, said the partnership would connect students in India with opportunities available through SGU and provide access to admissions support and scholarship opportunities.

Mrs Asha Rajeev Nair, Principal, Edify World School, Attapur, Hyderabad, said the affiliation would provide students interested in medicine with an additional pathway to explore international medical education and opportunities to pursue careers in healthcare.

Edify World School said the affiliation is part of its efforts to provide students with global academic opportunities and exposure to international education pathways.

“Most schools never consciously chose their basic unit. They inherited one from the past: the class. With the class as the focus, the things that happen between people get squeezed out: the apprentice learning alongside someone skilled, the child taught where they are rather than where the class is, and the daily practice of getting along with people they did not choose. The most promising new schools are organising themselves around the individual child rather than the class. A better approach is to group children by readiness in each subject and change those groups as they progress. Communication, collaboration and handling disagreement need daily practice. In a school built around individual progress, teachers get time back to observe, diagnose, mentor and step in where they are most needed. Most teachers entered the profession to make a difference to children. Many spend their careers managing classes instead. The best new schools offer them a system that finally lets them do the work they signed up for.”

“Government medical college seats are 100% filled, vacancies are confined entirely to the private sector. Colleges and state fee-fixation committees must re-examine these fee structures, because lowering NEET qualifying cut-offs will not resolve an affordability crisis when millions of candidates already qualify. The vacancies are an indicator that qualifying for medical admission does not necessarily mean students could afford a seat. Institutions charge full fees to early applicants and offer discounts to late entrants to fill the vacant seats. It reflects a purely commercial approach that compromises merit while still failing to fill classrooms. High management-quota fees are putting seats beyond the reach of many candidates. Some 24 lakh students write the entrance test for 1.4 lakh seats. While the cream gets government seats, the rest of the students cannot afford a management-quota seat.”
