I believe in ‘If we fail to plan, we plan to fail’. I am Geou Akshil SK, finishing up my MSc in Renewable energy; a sincere doer. Having been a student at the Napier University and served as a program representative gave me the thought of contesting the President election looking at the number of possible implications that as a team, we would be able to deliver.
I come with a clear understanding of the difficulties of an international student in the UK counting from homeless days to mental breakdowns and most importantly financial crunch. ENSA was a great support for all of these however, as a student I realized the need for improvisation and below is my manifesto.
- Battle against student poverty through improvising the idea of free breakfast by implementing a community cooking space
- Develop a platform to meet people and possibly create a dating facility for students to escape loneliness
- Improve the quality of international student experience with more campus events
- We have got clubs which we are introduced to however, there would be time to time advertisements and campaigns about the possibilities
- Build a sustainable model leading to employability at the campus level for students
- The major issue with accommodation shall be dealt with through building various strategies as a collective effort
- Improved parking facilities across campuses and reducing difficulties with application development by car pooling
- Parenting should not stop people from studying; kids’ room in the library would be proposed
- A transparent review and communication system where student feedback is monitored on a daily basis using technology
- LGBTQ rights and forums to express feelings would be build
- Longer duration lectures shall be broken down with improved teaching and learning methods
- Industry collaborations and practical way of teaching and learning shall be emphasized
