Although staff qualification varied substantially, those working in pharmacies and part II drug shops generally held higher qualifications compared to those working in PMVs.
For example, the predicted probability of reporting bad oral health was 9.1 percentage points higher (95% CI: 6.54, 11.68) for participants with no qualifications compared to those with a degree or equivalent and 4.4 percentage points higher (95% CI: 3.30, 5.47) for those with some educational qualifications compared to those with a degree or equivalent (Table 2).
When the most recent episode of self-harm was considered, those whose self-harm was associated with a desire to die had higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower educational qualifications compared to those who self-harmed with no desire to die.
If employers do have concerns about how overseas qualifications compare to those in the UK, professional bodies for each industry – or the independent agency UK NARIC – can assess their equivalency.
43% of adults have no educational qualifications, compared to 38.4% across the whole of Gateshead and the England average of 28.9%.
In the study-area, an estimated 70% of the adults had no minimum qualifications, compared to 61% in the whole of Tonga (8), and residence in low socio-economic districts has been related to lower child-HRQoL (50).
Finally, the NPS study had only 2.7% of respondents who have undertaken postgraduate CAM qualifications compared to 10% in the current study.
Therefore, immigrants with a tertiary education in their country of origin accepting these kind of jobs had probably very different qualifications compared to other tertiary educated migrants, who at the same time were being employed as university professors or doctors.
in local authorities that operate selective admissions, children who are not eligible for free school meals have a much greater chance of attending a grammar school than similarly high-achieving children. in 2015 virtually all pupils in grammar schools achieved five or more good grades at GCSE and equivilent qualifications compared to around two-thirds at comprehensives.
Still, these self-employed are often manual workers in positions that do not match their qualifications compared to non-migrants.
