Educational Aid – Battle of Uphill for Many Americans

- by Jacob Sullivan

Unless you are very lucky, you might find it difficult to survive at such a time only with a high school diploma. This is the reason why further education is a necessity today. With the passage of time, competition in every field is very fierce, and if you are not the best in what you do, you may become a victim, losing the race to survive from the best.

However, higher education cannot be reached by everyone because of rising tuition and high living costs. Also, the financial assistance available to students is only limited so not everyone benefits from covering their tuition fees. As a result, many students are forced to take loans to fund their tertiary education. According to statistics more than half of students who apply to college must take out loans because they cannot afford the opposite fees.

The disadvantage of loans is that the interest …

Education 2009 – The Importance of Integrating Business With Higher Education

- by Jacob Sullivan

The recession has had a significant impact on higher education in the UK, and has subsequently caused many to speak out about how degree courses are funded, and how much they are worth to both students and the economy as a whole. Specifically, the reason many are looking at the higher education system with a more critical eye is because of the sudden hike in enrollment numbers as many older people are applying for university courses to improve their employability, at the same time as many institutions suffer cutbacks in order to save on funds.

This sudden saturation of the education system (and the decline in jobs available for those who leave it) has caused the latest report by the Confederation of British Industry to call for both students and businesses to invest more in higher education. For the former this means higher interest rates, fees, and fewer grants to …

Seven Continuous Trends in Education

In the coming decade of the 21st century, good and comprehensive education can be the difference between developing future or future that depends on low-wage jobs and periods of unemployment. One of the reasons for the current boom in private and online education is one of the growing sectors. What are the seven current trends in education?

1. More Affordable Education

Even though savings measures and reducing government education programs, private and internet-based education programs bridge this gap. Future graduates can study online, but work part time, and

attend personal education course or online. This can be more affordable, because the level of student debt decreases, due to the fact that they are not restricted to spending several years in high school or university.

2. Education for All

Before the internet era, some students had the choice to study outside of traditional educational institutions. The growth of these traditional educational …

Preschool Curriculum and Child Development

- by Jacob Sullivan

As your child reaches the age of four, you should begin considering the start of your child’s education. For some this will begin with kindergarten at the age of five or six. However, it is recommended by most pediatric specialists in any field, that child’s education begin earlier than that.

Preschool is great introduction to this. It will give your child the opportunity to become comfortable with the structured environment of school before actually entering those twelve years of education. Providing your children with social and learning stimulus, in and outside the home will help them to develop the needed skills in learning new and more complex ideas. It will help them to form individual concepts and thoughts and give them the confidence to begin growing on their own and seeking their own interests.

Preschool curriculum centers on basic skills and ideas. It is meant to introduce young children to …

How to Create Teacher Websites Using Blogs

- by Jacob Sullivan

As a technology coordinator for an elementary school, I have found that it is very hard to get my teachers to create and consistently update websites. There will always be technophobes that are just resistant in general, but mainly the issue isn’t desire its ease of use and availability. Teachers are busy people, most work well beyond any traditional sense of school hours. The thought of one more task in the day is something akin to the straw that broke the camel’s back. My goal became to create a system that was easy to get to, easy to use, and something that my teachers would consider a valuable tool instead of an extra duty.

The best setup I found to accomplish this goal was with a blogging package called B2 Evolution. It is free and easy to install on most websites. For instance, I got approval to purchase a years …
