Keeping with the topic of students in education, the government is encouraging us to continue learning throughout our lives, but this can be very difficult to achieve in today’s day and age, particularly with the recession.
Part time students make up approximately one third of the undergraduate numbers, and there have been calls recently to give them more support financially.
It can be an uphill struggle from the start if you are considering studying part time as tuition fees need to be paid upfront and there is only a slim chance of securing the financial help needed. Then there are the hidden costs each year with the requirement of certain books and in some cases equipment, not to mention living costs.
It is the Governments responsibility to make it as easy as possible for individuals to take the opportunity to improve their skills and perhaps their job prospects through part time study. Why should someone who wants to be educated further be held back for financial reasons?- they shouldnt.
