The Importance of Finding the Right Early Childhood Education Programme
It’s widely accepted that what happens during the early years is of the utmost importance for every child’s development. At the same time, it’s a period of amazing opportunity, but also of susceptibility to negative influences. Unfortunately, so many children are unable to reach their full potential due to their family’s income status, geographical location, religion, or sexual orientation. If not provided the right nutrition, care, and education, children fail to reach their potential.
Isla WrightPublished 5 years ago in EducationFund Education Don't Underfund
Funding can be problematic for many if it is not used in the right way. Certain areas in the education system can become overfunded and other areas become underfunded due to not having a sufficient budget to provide the essential recourses for the students. Some education systems like schools now do not have enough funding to provide the proper resources for their students. This can become a burden for the parents or guardians, the teachers, the students and even the taxpayer. Underfunding will damage a community and will create a lot of problems if the funding is not recognized and fixed.

You made it through your undergraduate and you passed through the grueling application process. You may think that all of your work is done, but the work is just about to begin. Law school is going to be different from college, just like college was different than high school. There will still be tests and papers and thinking until your head hurts, but there will be some things that are different from college. You will get to take classes that are all specific to law and the practice of it so there will not be general classes that cover geology or humanities. This is good because you can focus on what you want to practice—law—but the classes will go into a lot more depth than your previous college classes did.

Why High School Seniors Should Carefully Consider The Pros and Cons of College
High school may seem like a time that is care-free, and a time where one is enjoying still being a 'kid’ with some responsibilities. However, high school is truly an important time, as the decisions one makes during high school, and right after, can have some extremely strong impacts on one’s future. The many routes that one can take can seem overwhelming. Do you go to summer school, and graduate early? Do you join the military after high school, or decide to go to college? Will you go to a community college, or start off at a larger university? Will you go to another city or state, or stay near home? There are many questions to answer and explore when it comes to considering the pros and cons of college. Sometimes school is the last thing that high school students want to think about, but college should be high on the priority list. Let’s explore why.

The word "dissertation" has the ability to strike fear into even the strongest hearts and minds. A dissertation means the end of University, the end of security, the beginning of the unknown and a huge deciding piece for what level degree you get.
Laura ParkPublished 5 years ago in EducationThe Importance of Balancing Personal Life and Studying
The most commonly used phrase “have a work-life balance” is very rarely achieved, even by seasoned professionals across the world. It is a utopian situation that every youngster dreams of, before entering the professional career, and that is a dream of working only a stipulated amount of time, and enjoy quality time with friends and family.

Rhys PullenPublished 5 years ago in EducationVolunteering in Creative Spaces
One of my favourite pastimes has been engaging with creative spaces. Whether it's exhibitions, plays, or crying to Avengers: Infinity War, my university experience has been one seeping with different artistic experiences. Of course, there are many different factors, which have made this a lot easier for me than other students, that would love the chance to do the same. Studying History has meant that I have a lot more free time than other people (I should probably be spending that time studying, but mind your business), and I usually have just enough funds to afford to go to some of these events, or at the very least, prioritise them over other things. With that all being said, something that I've increasingly found myself trying to make the time for is volunteering in creative spaces.
