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.

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."

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

According to the UCAS, the university admission service, further, 35% of more women take university education than men.

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.
