A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is one of the main routes
to becoming a teacher in the UK. Offered in England, Wales and Northern
Ireland, most PGCEs give you Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and make
you eligible to teach in countries across the world.Internationally recognised teacher training programmes
There are many PGCEs available, each designed to prepare you for life as a different kind of teacher. We’ve put together a guide to some of the PGCEs on offer, and what you need to know before you apply.
If you’ve already decided that you want to apply for a PGCE, you can begin the search for your perfect course with us. Alternatively, you can read our guide to the different types of PGCE funding.
What is a PGCE?
The Postgraduate Certificate in Education is an academic qualification that is designed to help graduates become teachers. PGCEs give you substantial teaching experience through school placements, along with a grounding in important educational theory.
What exactly is a Postgraduate Diploma in Education?
A Postgraduate Diploma in Education is a completely different qualification to the Scottish Professional Graduate Diploma in Education, even though both are referred to as a PGDE, somewhat confusingly!
The main difference between a Postgraduate Diploma in Education and a PGCE is the fact that the Postgraduate Diploma in Education gives you the opportunity to gain 120 CATS credits – twice as many as a PGCE. This means that if you want to convert your PGDE into a 180-credit Masters, you have fewer additional credits to complete than if you’d done a 60-credit PGCE.
A Postgraduate Diploma in Education is an ideal option if you plan on putting your credits towards a Masters qualification. Most PGDEs take one year of full-time study to complete – the same as a PGCE – but with the additional CATS credits you’ll be earning, you can expect to spend a bigger proportion of your time on academic rather than teaching work.
How much does a PGCE cost?
In 2017/18, most PGCEs have tuition fees of £9,250, but there are lots of funding options available in the form of bursaries, scholarships and loans, as well as paid salaries. We’ve covered the different funding routes you can take.
What are the entry requirements for a PGCE?
You’ll usually need at least a 2:2 degree in the subject you want to teach. In some cases, it may be possible to apply with a joint honours degree, provided 50% of your time at university was spent on your PGCE subject.
Similar requirements apply if your degree subject (and experience) is broadly related to the area you wish to teach in.
For example, if you’ve studied a maths-heavy degree like engineering, you will normally be eligible to begin a PGCE in Secondary Maths. Or, if you studied German at A-level but French for your degree, you should be eligible for a PGCE in Modern Languages. These requirements differ from university to university and course to course, however, so always make sure you read the application guidelines carefully.

The United States is engaged in an ongoing, public discussion about how
to best expand afterschool time and opportunities for children and
youth, to support their learning and development across the day,
throughout the year, and from kindergarten through high school. Debate
continues about the range of academic, social, and other types of
knowledge and skills that young people will need to succeed as workers,
citizens, and family and community members in a global world.after school activity programmes
To build the knowledge base, and to support efforts to improve quality in this field, the Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) has developed and maintains an accessible national database of evaluations of hundreds of afterschool programs. In 2008, HFRP issued a review of these studies to address two fundamental questions: Does participation in after school programs make a difference, and if so, what conditions appear to be necessary to achieve positive results?
The verdict: a decade of research and evaluation studies confirms that children and youth who participate in afterschool programs can reap a host of positive benefits in a number of interrelated outcome areas — academic, social-emotional, prevention, and health and wellness. These are the skills that many suggest are necessary for youth to succeed in the 21st century global economy and world.
Academic performance
Participation in afterschool programs is influencing academic performance in a number of ways, including better attitudes toward school and higher educational aspirations; higher school attendance rates and lower tardiness rates; less disciplinary action, such as suspension; lower dropout rates; better performance in school, as measured by achievement test scores and grades; significant gains in academic achievement test scores; greater on-time promotion; improved homework completion; and deeper engagement in learning.
Dozens of studies of afterschool programs repeatedly underscore the powerful impact of supporting a range of positive learning outcomes, including academic achievement, by affording children and youth opportunities to practice new skills through hands-on, experiential learning in project-based after school programs.
Another common thread among all of these studies is that successful programs focus not just on academic support, but also offer other enrichment activities. Thus, balancing academic support with a variety of structured, engaging, and enjoyable extracurricular activities appears to improve academic performance.
Social-emotional development
Many afterschool programs focus less on academics and more on improving young people’s social and developmental challenges, such as social skills, self-esteem and self-concept issues, initiative, and leadership skills. Research has shown that participation in these programs is associated with decreased behavioral problems, improved social and communication skills, better relationships with peers and teachers, increased self-confidence, self-esteem and self-efficiency, lower levels of depression and anxiety, development of initiative, and improved feelings and attitudes toward self and school.
Crime, drug, and sex prevention
The hours from 3 to 6 p.m. are the peak time for juvenile crime and victimization, and the time period when teens ages 16-17 are most likely to be involved in a car crash. Also, youth left unsupervised for a certain number of hours per week are more likely to be sexually active, and at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Participation in an afterschool programs gets children and youth off the streets, under supervision, and potentially prevents some risky behaviors. But beyond offering a safe haven, research and evaluation studies have demonstrated that the programs can have a positive effect on a range of prevention outcomes, such as avoidance of drug and alcohol use, decreases in delinquency and violent behavior, increased knowledge of safe sex, avoidance of sexual activity, and reduction in juvenile crime.

A city’s core competency results from development and competition over a
long period of time. It is unique and hard to replicate.Besides, a
city’s competency hinges upon a combination of factors that often have a
definite bearing on optimizing regional resource allocation.The second
China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition
and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2019.For
further information about China International Import Expo, please visit:

Against this backdrop, a continued drive to enhance a city’s core competency is a major prerequisite for it to stay influential and allocate global resources in the face of an uncertain external environment.
The second China International Import Expo (CIIE), which runs from November 5 to 10, has emerged as an important window on Shanghai’s rising clout and service capabilities.Through CIIE, the key strengths of Shanghai in areas such as openness, innovation and regional integration will come to the fore, mirroring an alignment between a city’s improved capabilities and China’s new round of opening-up.
In the era of globalization, CIIE will demonstrate Shanghai’s role as a key transit hub in global trade. It will also showcase progress made under China’s ongoing new round of opening-up.In terms of trade structure, Shanghai imported goods worth 2.03 trillion yuan (US$290.6 billion) in 2018, up 6.4 percent from 2017.
In the same period, its exports totaled 1.36 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.2 percent over the previous year. Rising imports at a faster clip indicate an optimization of Shanghai’s trade structure as well as its growing status as a trade transit hub.What’s more, this year’s CIIE has added United Nations Development Programme, International Trade Centre and other global organizations to the list of invitees, a move suggesting Shanghai’s deepening ties with multilateral organizations from around the world.
Over the past 20 years, Shanghai has mainly played a supportive role in helping domestic industries access the global market. It also provides an avenue for foreign direct investments in China’s export manufacturing sector.CIIE will give an impetus to Shanghai’s presence as the city steps up its efforts to connect domestic industries with the overseas market.
Shanghai used to be a gateway to developed Western economies, but now this role starts shifting toward one that gives equal attention to Western countries, Belt and Road nations and developing economies. In 2017, for example, Shanghai imported 364.9 billion yuan worth of goods from Belt and Road countries, a surge of 25 percent compared with the previous year.This volume topped the imports of the US and ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) from Belt and Road countries, which stood at 207.2 billion yuan and 264.2 billion yuan.
China’s new round of opening-up is driven in part by manufacturing and in part by consumption. From chasing high-quality growth to leading a quality life, the change in slogans reflects the gargantuan scale of China’s consumption market.The country is already home to a vast number of upper-middle-class consumers with strong buying power. CIIE thus will deliver more opportunities to countries that choose to exhibit their products at the fair.
Mexico, for one, is keen to know whether Chinese consumers have an appetite for the country’s Tequila spirits and avocados. Developments in China’s healthcare, education and beauty care sectors have presented global enterprises with immense opportunities.Leading pharmaceutical firms like Pfizer, Roche, MSD, Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lilly and Company registered for CIIE long ago and even planned to launch some of their new medicine and medical devices that had secured or were awaiting approval from local FDA authorities in China. Similar examples abound.
In the past, Shanghai was more fixated on economic openness. But since the introduction of “Shanghai 2035,” a plan for building itself into an “excellent global city” by 2035, the city has been placing a premium on innovation and exchange of ideas. Global cities are the result of globalization.

The Yuhang exhibition booth was designed on theme of ancient Liangzhu city, which was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July. Organizers used multimedia and replicated Liangzhu artifacts to showcase the millennia-old civilization on the spot.
Two Yuhang-based companies participated in the expo on behalf of the district. Panex is one of the largest cross-border logistics companies in Hangzhou. Its business covers Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, the UK, Norway, Finland, Japan and the US, including 16 overseas subsidiaries and 45 overseas warehouses with a total area of 200,000 square meters.One of its subsidiaries, 50N Natural Ecology Group Ltd in Vancouver displayed Canadian specialties at the expo, including seafood, maple water and flaxseed oil.
Java Coffee Machine, the US subsidiary of Wanshida Co, launched a series of new products using the Internet of Things and online payments.The Yuhang government gathered 300 delegates from local government departments, organizations and companies to draw experience from other countries in tourism, education, medical services and commerce.
Before the CIIE, the Yuhang District government invited about 120 delegates from Shanghai-based organizations and companies to its cooperation seminar to seek more business opportunities from Shanghai.
At the seminar, Yuhang signed contracts with 13 enterprises, including six new manufacturing and four digital economic projects.The government also announced the establishment of an innovation center, Dream Town, in Shanghai.
Dream Town, a heaven for Internet industry startups, is in the center of Future Sci-tech City, which is a noted incubator for high-tech businesses in Hangzhou. In May, it introduced 5G in its China (Hangzhou) 5G Innovation Park, becoming one of the forerunners in the new technology in China.
The innovation center will be set up in Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park in Shanghai. It is expected to be a bridgehead for attracting hi-tech talent and promising projects for Yuhang District.It also aims to be a platform for university students to start up new business. The center creates an embryo for startups, and then transfers them to Yuhang for further research and development.Meanwhile, the center is going to give a boost to the Yangtze River Delta integration. Shanghai and Yuhang could work together more closely through this platform.
Today, artificial intelligence, fashion and digital industries are the economic engines of Yuhang. By the end of September, the digital economy had accounted for 59.9 percent of the district’s gross domestic product — the highest prorportion in Zhejiang Province.

Raloxifene Powder is approved for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is in a class of drugs called estrogen agonists/antagonists that have been developed to provide the beneficial effects of estrogens without all of the potential disadvantages. It is neither an estrogen nor a hormone. Raloxifene is sometimes called a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM).wisepoqder β-agonist Powder
Raloxifene reduces the risk of spine fractures. There are no data showing that raloxifene reduces the risk of hip and other non-spine fractures. For both prevention and treatment, raloxifene is taken daily as a 60 mg tablet, with or without meals.
Raloxifene appears to decrease the risk of estrogen-dependent breast cancer by 65 percent over eight years. It is FDA-approved to decrease the risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and even in women without osteoporosis who are at high risk of breast cancer. Raloxifene does not reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Side Effects
Side effects include hot flashes, leg cramps and an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots). Other side effects include swelling and temporary flu-like symptoms. Raloxifene is not associated with diseases of the uterus or ovaries and does not affect cognitive (mental) function.
Raloxifene should not be taken by women at increased risk for stroke. This includes women who have had previous strokes, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), atrial fibrillation (a type of serious irregular heart beat) or uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure).
The combination of anastrozole and fulvestrant extended median survival
of women with hormone-receptor–positive metastatic breast cancer when
compared with standard therapy of either anastrozole alone or sequential
anastrozole and fulvestrant, according to study results.wisepoqder Anastrozole powder
In prior studies, anastrozole (Arimidex, AstraZeneca) exhibited the ability to suppress estrogen production, while fulvestrant (Faslodex, AstraZeneca) demonstrated high efficacy in a low-estrogen environment. In addition, the combination of fulvestrant and an aromatase inhibitor — compared with either agent alone — delayed the development of resistance by down-regulating several signaling molecules involved in the development of resistance.
To determine whether the combination of anastrozole and fulvestrant would be superior to anastrozole alone as first-line therapy for metastatic breast cancer, Rita Mehta, MD, and colleagues from the UC Irvine Medical Center conducted a phase 3 randomized trial of 694 postmenopausal women with previously untreated metastatic disease from June 1, 2004, to July 1, 2009.
During the study, patients were randomly assigned to receive either 1 mg of anastrozole orally once daily in combination with injections of fulvestrant — given in sequential dosing on the first day, every 2 weeks, and then once every 28 days after the first month — or 1 mg of anastrozole orally once daily, with possible crossover to fulvestrant alone following disease progression.
Median PFS was 15 months for patients who received the anastrozole and fulvestrant combination vs. 13.5 months for patients who received anastrozole alone, according to study results. The combination was observed to be generally more effective than anastrozole alone in all subgroups, with no significant interactions.
In addition, median OS was longer among patients assigned to the combination therapy (47.7 months vs. 41.3 months), despite the fact that 41% of the patients in the anastrozole group crossed over to fulvestrant after progression.
“The improvement in overall survival that was observed in our study has not been seen in other trials of first-line hormonal therapy for HR-positive metastatic breast cancer,” the researchers wrote. “Specifically, in the trials comparing aromatase-inhibitor therapy with tamoxifen therapy, the benefit from aromatase inhibitors with respect to progression-free survival failed to translate into a benefit with respect to overall survival, a finding that was attributed to the crossover of some patients in the tamoxifen group to an aromatase inhibitor.”
Three deaths that were possibly associated with treatment occurred in the combination group. Toxic effects of grade-4 or higher were observed in four patients who received anastrozole alone (1.2%) and in five patients who received combination therapy (1.4%; P=1.00). The four observed grade-4 toxic effects among patients who received anastrozole alone included thrombosis or embolism, joint pain, thrombocytopenia and dyspnea. Two patients in the combination group experienced grade 4-toxic effects. One experienced thrombosis or embolism, and the other experienced neutropenia or lymphopenia.
“The results of our study suggest that trials of adjuvant therapy should be performed in which the combination of an aromatase inhibitor and high-dose fulvestrant is compared with an aromatase inhibitor alone or high-dose fulvestrant alone in patients with estrogen-receptor–positive tumors for whom chemotherapy is not necessary,” the researchers concluded.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps
prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid
retention.Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic that also prevents
your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels
from getting too low.wisepoqder Triamterene
Hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene is a combination medicine used to treat fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure (hypertension).hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene is usually given to people in whom other diuretics have caused hypokalemia (low potassium levels in your blood).Hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important Information
You should not use this medicine if have kidney disease, urination problems, high levels of potassium in your blood, or if you are taking other diuretics similar to triamterene. Do not use potassium supplements, salt substitutes, or low-sodium milk unless your doctor has told you to.
This medicine can raise your blood potassium to dangerous levels, especially if you have kidney disease, diabetes, severe illness, or if you are an older adult. Call your doctor right away if you have signs of high potassium: nausea, slow or unusual heart rate, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or loss of movement in any part of your body.
Before taking this medicine
You should not use hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene if you are allergic to hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, HydroDiuril, Lotensin HCT, Zestoretic, and others) or triamterene (Dyrenium), or if:
you have kidney disease or are unable to urinate;
you have high potassium levels (hyperkalemia);
you are taking diuretics similar to triamterene, such as amiloride (Midamor, Moduretic), spironolactone (Aldactone, Aldactazide); or
you are taking potassium supplements (unless your doctor tells you to).
Diuretics such as triamterene can raise your blood potassium to dangerous levels. This is more likely to occur if you have kidney disease, diabetes, severe illness, or if you are an older adult. Ask your doctor about your individual risk.

This drug is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood
pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This
medication is a combination of two "water pills" (diuretics):
triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. This combination is used by people
who have developed or are at risk for having low potassium levels on
hydrochlorothiazide. It causes you to make more urine, which helps your
body get rid of extra salt and water.wisepoqder β-agonist Powder
This medication also reduces extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath or swelling in your ankles or feet.
How to use Triamterene-Hydrochlorothiazid
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning with or without food. It is best to avoid taking this medication within 4 hours of your bedtime to prevent having to get up to urinate.
If you also take certain drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take this product at least 4 hours before or at least 4 to 6 hours after these medications.The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens (for example, your blood pressure readings increase).
