Vinay's suggestion includes an "instituteId" field - which I assume points to
information about an educational institution. That is no different than making
the institution a party, so why introduce an unnecessary entity? If Vinay's
"instituteId" can be accomodated by the Party entity, then why make a custom
entity to tie the two together? Just use PartyRelationship.

It looks to me like the amount of data stored in Vinay's suggestion is no
different than the one I suggested.
