Education Issues

Below are just a few of the leading American education issues that are constantly being debated nowadays.

First, this question: should there be a national standard for graduating high school students? Should students have to pass a rigorous test in order to graduate? Some people say that a test is an objective measurement of how well a student knows certain material; others argue that some students don’t “test well,” and that grades, schoolwork and teachers should determine whether or not a particular student graduates, and not a standardized test. Others say that many standardized tests are inherently biased.

Another educational debate rages over vouchers. A school voucher is when the government pays part or all of a student’s private school tuition. Let’s say it costs a city $10,000 to educate a child per year. With a school voucher, the government would pay ten-thousand dollars of tax money for a child to go to a certain private school instead of giving that money to the public school the child would otherwise attend. Some people insist that this is only fair; if parents work hard to pay taxes, why shouldn’t their tax dollars go to the school of their choice? Other people …

Community College Or University – Which One is Right For You?

- by Myron Bailey

The choice to attend a community college first or go straight to a university can present a quandary for many students who are planning their careers. Factors such as cost, curriculum, and course of study can provide some valuable information with which to make that decision.

Community College Benefits

One of the valuable benefits of attending a junior college first before going to a university is the cost. The cost for tuition at a community college can be substantially less than the tuition at a four-year school. Additionally, courses that are difficult to get into at a university may be more readily available at a junior college, and the teacher to student ratio is often lower.

Perhaps one of the most advantageous reasons for attending a junior college first is to have time to decide what course of study to pursue or which major to select. Not all universities offer every major, so taking the time to choose a major prior to choosing a university will allow the student to select the best university for a particular major once it has been chosen.

University Advantages

Campus life at a university can be a fun and exciting experience for new college …

Affording University – Saving in Preparation

The controversy over the cost of university has recently centered on the rise in tuition fees, however the fact that the mechanics of the system mean that these costs (together with maintenance loan debts) will in practice only become payable when the student achieves a salary above a specified threshold, means that a financial strategy to negate the impact of tuition fees is a little trickier to define. The standard repayments might come so much later in life whilst making early capital repayments may well not be the most effective use of any pool of money.

However, you may still want to consider building a nest egg to avoid the debt built up by living costs, or to bridge the gap where loans, scholarships and grants may not. So what are the options available to a parent who is looking to provide financial support for their child when they embark on university life?
