The online education business is growing at a rapid space and the online course providers like Udacity, Harvard, EdX have started providing credit tools as well as nano degrees. This as another reason of their enhanced growth and popularity.

Video-based self-study online courses have gained popularity in the corporate learning programs which are now successfully been processed by various online learning institutes.



The UK scenario

Diverting from the worldwide situation to UK, the present scrapping of the educational grants have left the Brits students with no choice rather than considering free online higher education as a primary option.

However, with growing inflation, maintaining both the tuition fees and living cost simultaneously is simply unbearable, given the additional problem of the grants being slashed.

A survey conducted by The Student Room on the students who wish to pursue higher education revealed negative outlook. Students are seriously worried about the debt and the living costs that would add up to a huge loan dangling the beginning of the career.

Half of the respondents said the-the Osborne's announcement would force them to seriously consider whether they could afford university. A further fifth said the university is now out of the question entirely.

The rise of online education

Scrapping the educational grant had been a blessing in disguise for the online educational breed. Upcoming online learning will now have a huge population of students to deal specially in the UK. If students or professionals want to gain a proper diploma or degree through online from UK universities, then they can search like this.


UoPeople president and founder, Shai Reshef, said: "What we are doing is building a model to show that higher education can be affordable and accessible."
He continued further saying "We're building the model to show universities that they can take many more students than they do right now. Many of them don’t want to, because.... they want to be exclusive."
Recently UoPeople university had a great achievement as the Microsoft Africa hired all their engineering graduates.
Mr. Reshef hopes that online platforms can create a space which fosters a more peaceful society: "Every time a student takes a class with us, he is being put together with 20 students from 20 countries."

Women Education: Marching Forward Facing Challenges

Source - bit.ly/1Z7YVHj

The education for women is utmost essential. Literate women are playing the key role in the economy across the societies. Their role is not restricted in making crucial business strategies but in National and International politics, Government & administration, Science & Technology, Education and so on. Today, women take center stage in taking the crucial decision in different walks of life. But, despite the massive awareness campaign still humans are yet to achieve full success in educating the women/girls. Still, at different parts of the world, girls are deprived of education. The threat of deprivation of education to the girls leaves them vulnerable to threats of life like- self-development, financial independence and gender inequality. To our concern, it creates an adverse impact on the societies, affecting the social development.

Knowledge Is Key To Sustainability


The indifference, inequality and ignorance towards women/girls could be put to an end with literacy. World needs far reaching policy for women progress and safety. They should be allowed to hold key position (family, organisations etc.) to make crucial decisions. And this is possible when we allow them to take education for self enhancement. Every country should step forward to ensure that no girl child is deprived of education. It should also take initiative and to provide key elementary knowledge to the illiterate women. The State, women welfare groups and other agencies should collaborate to ensure that every girl child receives education to earn deserving position in life. So that for demanding girls education no young girl like Malala Yousafzai takes bullets.
The Nobel Laureate in her book I am Malala wrote, "One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world."

We all anticipate that the outlook towards women and girl would change some day. And with knowledge this perception towards females could be eradicated. Hence, irrespective of challenges, policy makers across the globe have to ensure that no girl is left behind in the movement of enlightenment.

 

Women Taking The Front Seat


In the fair race of opportunity, women have outsmarted men. In the UK compare to men, women prefer to take higher education. According to the UCAS, the university admission service, further, 35% of more women take university education than men. It's evident from the annual admission figures that women have robust desire to earn the high education. The trend of females taking higher education is not restricted to the UK alone. In other parts of the world too, the number of female students in the university has significantly increased. The globalisation of education has also played a key role for women to take higher studies. Today, to take university level education, women fly from their homeland to foreign land to join education programmes at different universities.

Though there are a plenty of constant efforts being made by the state and private agencies to educate girls, there are still few challenges. Social and economic factors have forced many women/girls to quit education. In some societies families with poor fiscal prefer to send boy over girl to school. Due to unstable finance of the family the girl child takes work or forced to marry at early age which further ceases learning scope. At schools, Girls face few problems like lack of separate sanitation facility. In many schools, in different countries, there is dearth of lack of toilet for girls. There are issues related to the school's learning environment are sometimes pointed out as less favourable for female students. It's presumed that at unfavourable learning environment girls are exposed to violence. Apart from the issues related to the school's infrastructure and environment the lack of female teachers also remain a big hurdle for the education administrators to bring girls to school.
