In higher education, learning and studying are different in several ways from that of further education; the main determinant that separates the two tiers of education from each other is that there is more emphasis on independent learning at university compared to college. Independent learning can be defined as being able to learn and motivate yourself on your own. When it comes to learning on your own, this is an important part of independent learning, as you have to be self-disciplined in order to allocate time for studying which could be in the library finding specific resources or completing old exam paper questions.

One way I could be supported at Post 16 is to have teachers available to answer questions and help with any problems I may have with the work, and I think our access to teacher’s email addresses will be a great help with this. I also think the learning resource centre will be very useless to go to and…

In Ireland, all schools except for secondary are funded by state because secondary schools are privately owned and managed. However, in the U.S, all public high schools are funded by the federal and state government and local resources. The structure of secondary education in Ireland is also categorized by cycles.

With Ethiopia 's substantial population and high poverty rate, making education accessible to everyone has been an ongoing issue. Although today, education in Ethiopia has improved and become more accessible, some issues such as money, school locations, and an inadequate amount of qualified teachers due to overpopulated classrooms still persist.

The tertiary level is progressed in universities at a higher level. Here, students spend three years for each degree programme, First Degree, Master´s Degree and the Doctorate Degree Programme. If we compare the Nigeria´s educational system with the UK`s we can clearly profess that the compulsory age for primary school in the UK is 5. However, in Nigeria, there is no imposed law that certificates the starting age. Instead, children start at under the age of 5 or at 6 years. The standard age is…

In this paper, I argue that neo-liberal policies effect post-secondary education in Canada. I determine what the barriers are and how we can overcome them. I will look at the rise of tuition, disability and cultural differences to see if they aid as a barrier. Post-Secondary education in Canada has become very demanding the last couple of years. Many students want to pursue careers and get an education that helps them in the future, from a neoliberalist approach young people have to “chase…
