The British education system, with its strong component of structured yet independent learning, significantly enhanced my knowledge and critical thinking abilities. Exposure to diverse perspectives challenged my assumptions and strengthened my reasoning and problem-solving skills. Through this process, I developed the ability to self-learn, take ownership of my research, and pursue knowledge continuously”.
