Education Made Easy For Students across the Globe


Students around the globe have been wondering if the technology is ever going to help or assist them with their educational problems and issues. Many question the media on how things can be improved in the education sector. We see how economy around the world seems to collapse every day, how stock markets are going down for a while now, how generating income is becoming impossible and how the expenditures keep hitting the skies, how prices hike for every necessity in today’s world, how people are dealing with such circumstances where many end up giving up on their life. In such a crucial time period, we as students are experiencing some mega downfalls.

To help ease the life of a student, major contributions are being made by those who are well connected by the ground realities of the world. They know that more than 70% of the students hail from families that are less privileged and find it completely impossible to cover the education cost parallel to that of their petty/domestic expenditures like food, shelter, clothing and etc. In order to facilitate such cases, there’ve been some amazing options for online education in Dubai who are operating with the sole motive of supporting less privileged students by making education available to them at their door-step. They have formed ventures, mergers and started to work in collaboration with world’s top online schools, colleges and universities to cope up with special cases.

Issues in Education


As any parent of a school going child can tell, there is a lot more to school than just writing, reading, arithmetic problem solving. Not just a child but a parent too should know a lot of things except curriculum for example about school environment, the issues, the problems, teachers etc. From disciplinary policies to bullying to making their children prepare for test and homework, parents need to do their homework, too.

The issues that are faced by the children and their parents must be dealt carefully. Some of these issues are,

Bullying
It is one of the common issue that a school going child face. From a research it has been found out that nearly 20% of the students American schools have been the victim of some kind of bullying including physical and emotional bullying. Parents should take it seriously. They should inquire as how the school is dealing with this problem and what is the reaction of their child. There are schools that have zero tolerance policy against bullying but at times this policy doesn’t work well.

Size of the class
Class size matters a lot at times. It is one of the new issues being raised these days. Parents should have a look on it. Where there are bigger classes, teachers usually doesn’t able to pay equal and appropriate attention on students. The class size should be average and the number of teachers in each class should pay equal and suitable attention on students.

Boredom
Boredom is more a problem than an issue. Parents usually doesn’t pay much attention on this because they feel that going to school is not the favorite activity of any child but this at times drag their child from education. There should be creative and interesting activities in class which can make the children engaged and can gage their interest.

Conclusion
All these issues must be taken into account and should be dealt cautiously to avoid negative side-effects. Parents should sit with their child once a day and discuss their school activities and the problems they having at school. They should also be in touch with their child’s teacher to keep and check and balance on their child’s performance.
