Sokar Ahmed Hussein – GCSE Maths

"I am originally from Iraq and previous to joining my husband here in the UK I had completed 3 years of my pharmacy degree. With only one year left to complete I thought I would be able to continue the qualification at a British university. Little did I know then that I would have to start my education all over again.

I am determined to gain whatever skills are needed to move on to university and complete a pharmacy degree. After consulting an advisor, it was recommended I start by gaining my Maths and English qualifications. I have studied at Adult Education for the past year, completed my GCSE maths, I am working through my English Functional Skill and am gained my science qualifications online.

Studying at Adult Education has been a great experience. The teachers are excellent and have been very welcoming. Starting from the very beginning has been a challenge, however, I have always loved learning and will continue until I reach my goal. I am determined to be an independent working woman and want to be a good role model to my unborn child.

Learning for me is the key to a great life and a rewarding career."
