additional education by British standards - Access to Higher Education Course

Kingsway College, London

My entire education has been in English and not in Spanish. I graduated from a very high standard international private high school but it was and international and North American Education (international School of Caracas, Venezuela known as C.I.C.) with very high grades which the British system didn't accept my diploma as they believe their educational system is too different in order for me to attend college there. I was ordered to study an extra year at Kingsway College to even out my grades with their educational system.

By the end of that year, government grants that I had applied for were stopped, hence I could not attend college. My family could not afford to pay for my college and boarding fees.
