As we know, the KPLI and DPLI students will get the allowance for more than a thousand ringgit every month. If we can compared with the students who take four years of education courses or actually, they are under Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PISMP) where they need to borrow the money from Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN). Is it fair to students who are studying for four years than KPLI and DPLI students who only study for one year? This issue has arisen since a few years ago. Most of degree education students are not satisfied with government decision according to that issue and it seem like the government not fair and bias in their education policy itself. They did not satisfy because in four years studied in IPTA they faced financial problem for example they need to pay expensive university fees, rent and many things. From my observation, most of students come from moderate income family but only a few of students from high income family. The government is wrong if think the PTPTN loan are enough to bear their lives in IPTA. For instance, I am education student from UiTM who borrow PTPTN loan to study there but that money is not enough for me and I still depend on my family to pay a rent, buy the books, and foods.
So, if we can investigate the background of degree education students are come from matriculation, diploma and STPM graduation. Most of them had good result in order to them to enter the higher education as UiTM, UPSI, USM and so on where offered education courses there. But, why government do not give opportunity to them to get scholarship? This is because these students are students who really want to become a teacher. We know that there are few of degree education students who got scholarship from Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) and Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi Malaysia (KPTM) compared to KPLI students where all of them will get allowance for every month. But not many of them got that scholarship. The Government used big budget for KPLI and DPLI students especially in term of allowance and my opinion for that issue is the government should reduce the amount of allowance of KPLI and DPLI students in order to save the money where it can use in many aspect particularly education aspects. If we can calculate manually, the one person get RM13++ for every month and multiply with twelve months they studied at IPTA and IPGM and the total allowance they receive was RM15+++.

“Spark is a researched based public health organization.”(Sparkpe.org) When you buy their lesson plans and equipment you are also buying the outstanding service that comes with Spark. You also get a spark team that comes to your specific school and helps with all of the lesson plans. They also help interact with kids and get them up and moving, all in all they are a good motivation tool to have. For a school that has a poor budget it can be hard to get Spark out to you, but you’re able to call them up ask for advice and move forward as a program. Spark doesn’t just strive to kill obesity within children; they also strive to educate adults so they know the right steps to help their students become healthy individuals. In a nut shell each Spark program “fosters environmental and behavioral change by providing a coordinated package of a highly thought through curriculum, onsite teacher training, extensive follow-up support, and content matching equipment.”(Sparkpe.org) Since Spark is still a relatively new organization they are still growing, learning and striving for success every day. They first started studying Elementary education in 1989. Sense then they have created a full K-12 curriculum. They have made a dieting curriculum for growing children. They produce their own equipment and lastly they back up their lesson plans with real people that not only teach the kids but teach the teachers. This curriculum sounds very difficult and complex; yes, but they help by breaking it down into five core messages.
The Relevancy and Popularity of A.I.C in the 21st Century ‘An Inspector Calls’ is a play written by J.B Priestley in 1945. The play is set in the fictional town Brumley, 1912. It is based on the Birling family, who are celebrating the engagement of their daughter Sheila to Gerald Croft when an Inspector arrives to question them. He tells them about the death of a young girl called Eva Smith, turning the joyous celebration into a sinister crime investigation. Each character has a different perception of the Inspector’s revelations
Arguments for: This plan gives parents greater control of their children's schooling. It also provides poorer parents an opportunity for private education. The government's role would be confined to ensuring that schools met minimum standards.
...of money, but money alone is not going to solve it. There are always going to be people that are going to take for granted their education. It is the government’s responsibility to see education be equal for all, but also an individual responsibility to take the time to sit down with each other and talk about the importance of school, learning, and education.
One of the advantage is that students can earn money. Some high school students have to earn money on their own to pay their future college’s tuition fees while some students just earn money to pay for their expenditure or satisfy their desires. High school students don’t have to be dependent on their parents for money. Money can make t...
Some people do not enjoy or feel like they are mature enough to take on the responsibility of college. College is known to be very difficult and if a student is not responsible enough to work for their grades or feel discouraged when things get difficult, then the scholarship would end-up wasted and the money the scholarship owners spent would also be wasted. Eventually many scholarship companies would probably have to stop funding the scholarship because of the high demand. Also, if a company only has enough funding to pay for a small number of students then how would the government choose who to force to accept the scholarship? And could said students deny the scholarships if they do not want to attend? If so then it seems like it could be a little hypocritical if they do not allow all accepted students to deny the privilege, which creates a paradox of some sort, and if not then the scholarship is wasted. Scholarships also usually cover a portion of the tuition need and some families do not have enough money to cover the rest of the tuition. This would cause a family or the person being forced to attend college to go into debt for something they did not want to do, let alone pay for, and can cause unnecessary problems for many
The article is written by Matt Bruenig who is a writer primarily focused on economic and political issues that especially affect poverty and inequality system. This essay discusses the idea of free college in the U.S. Topics include the different definitions of “ free college” and various benefits for different class-based students which lead to the inequality of free college plan. The meaning of “free college” varies from one to another. Some believe that it is sponsoring tuition to zero, while others believe that it means not only sponsoring tuition to zero but also living grants. Since there are many different views toward the definition of free college, government may need to declare it clearly. The author also mentions about the lack of equality of free college plan is another problem. Many researches show that the free colleges plan benefits middle-class and higher-class students more than poor students. This is a current and
The international students are expected to pay the full tuition fee, whereas the domestic students are eligible for heavy government subsidies and that is one of the reasons why there is a huge difference between the fee amounts. Many students take up part time jobs to make ends meet, but it is imperative to note that job opportunities are very limited and even those jobs that are available do not give a substantial income. Therefore, they must rely on their own money and be prepared for the expenses.
There are numerous accounts for why schools receive unequal funding. Some schools may reside within wealthy areas where the property taxes are higher. According to the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation & Institute in "Fund the Child: Tackling Inequity & Antiquity in School Finance”, the amount of money a school gets depends on where it is located. Some schools may be within wealthier neighborhoods and receive more money as a result. For Example, the 2010 Public School Review report from the Modoc Joint Unified School District in California shows that the high school spends $7,858 per student whereas the 2010 Public School Review report for Tamalpais Union High School District in California shows that the school spends $19,821 per student (2010 Pubic School Review). This serves as a great disadvantage for students who do not live in wealthy neighborhoods because their schools are not receiving the proper funding...
It is noticeable that the system of education is changing from time to time based on financial issues and how the world is growing. In the past, individuals taught the education system from the oldest member of the family to children, and their members were charging fees from the families that sent their children to them. Which meant that education was an important thing in all ages. Nowadays, the education is shaped to an official system run by professional people in governments and many countries invest high amounts towards education which makes evidence of how important it is in our current life. Every country has a different system of education based on their financial stability, government infrastructure and the standard of the government officials. It is noticeable that there is a big difference between the education in developing countries and the prevailing system in developed countries .In my essay I will discuss some reasons for these differences...
Schooling for ages 5 to 14 is compulsory in Sri Lanka. The five stages of education in Sri Lanka include: primary, junior secondary, senior secondary, collegiate and tertiary [8]. Even though Sri Lanka claims a total adult literacy rate of 91.2% and a total youth literacy rate of 98.15% [9], it still faces challenges in its free education system. One of the main challenges Sri Lanka faces is tertiary education pressure. The tertiary enrolment ratio is only 6% out of which only 2% are full-time students (refer to Appendix 2). Also, there are only 13 universities with the capability to admit 13,000 students annually against the 75,000 students requiring admission each year. A large number of students seeking free education in state universities are being denied admission due to limited places available [10]. Talking about free education in general, children from financially stable families tend to stay longer in schools than children from poorer backgrounds (refer to Appendix 3). This is because of the other costs apart from tuition fees like uniforms, transport, stationery etc. [11]. Mr. Rohan Senarath, the Executive Director of Coalition for Education Development and former Save the Children in Sri Lanka programme specialist for education sums up the reasons for such problems in his article which includes: teacher biases/personal choices, struggle for lower income families, family mind-set of supporting
Education should be equal because everyone deserves to be educated no matter of financial background. Schooling provides a lot of benefits for students and the separation elevates one student over another. Education is often viewed as the key to success and since everyone is not given the same tools to succeed something needs to be improved. Public school should be abolished because they do not allow equal opportunities for students and the education provided is not equal.
Lohmar, that in higher education, it is possible to see three degrees which are Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s and Doctoral Studies.The first university degree, Bachelor's, can generally be attained in three years of full-time study. The higher education system comprises universities and polytechnics, in which the admission requirement is a secondary general or vocational diploma. The ground rule is that the universities, their faculties or departments select their own students based on matriculation examination grades, the school-leaving certificate and/or entrance examinations (Ministry of Education, 2005) All studying is free of charge.
