In the UK the tuition rates have increased. The increase in tuition has caused a decrease
in applications. The drop in application
rates from Scotland, England and other countries range from 1.5%-9.9%. Higher education opportunities are becoming
too expensive for students. The rise in
tuition has shown a gender and age difference as well. More women in Ireland are applying to college
than men, which is out of the global social norm. Also there was a decrease in younger adults and
a greater decrease in older adult students.
There were a higher percentage of students applying to schools
overseas. Educational officials are still
worried about the drop in application with the job market rate being so low and
unemployment is so high. What are the
young people doing?
It is obvious that with the increase in tuition there was
going to be a drop in applications. Some
students just cannot afford to further their education. It is already a process to get all children
primary education and an even bigger issue globally to get secondary education
for all children. A college education
makes you more resourceful and skillful.
People are more competitive in the job market, but how can people afford
it if tuition fees continue to rise. In
the United States many children are encouraged to go to college after they
graduate high school, but no one informs them on how they can pay for it
without being in a massive amount of debt. In underdeveloped countries children do not
make it to college, some do not even make it to secondary school. They are forced into the work field to help
support their family. All children
should have the right to primary and secondary education and the help to get a
higher education.
