Student Scoop

Being accepted at any university of one’s choice is not as simple as it would seem. There are many requirements to consider, and quite a few of them demand a considerable amount of a student’s time, knowledge, and abilities. And for a busy high school student, it can be difficult. Today, students like myself are introduced to all of this in their grade nine or ten year, either through school personnel or through the career studies course. And, I think it’s great. The result is that students are familiar with general admission requirements, university location information, and how to act on what they learn. Of course, some universities have larger admission requirements than others, but the bottom line is that students will have to work to meet expectations at some point.

Students worldwide say education should be accessible by all.

The recent global economic crisis is putting schools around the world at risk as influential interests are pushing governments to turn public services into private industries, which could be a great detriment to the people of the world already facing marginalization.
