Over the couple of years the education system has been manipulated, changed and experimented with. From cancelling SATS to examining in Summer only. Students have experienced positive and negative changes. For example some students are grateful for there being no exams in January as it extends preparation time whereas others disagree as it takes the opportunity of early retakes away.
Others question the teaching ability in their schools.
The guardian quotes
'How can students best judge educational quality? It's a question that seems fitting in light of the huge changes in the sector over the past year, with universities seeing a 8.4% fall in student applications, theunrestricted ABB+ recruitment plan, and the announcement of theResearch Excellence Framework (REF) – to name a few.'
On the other hand the education sector feelings are mutual through the recent strikes they have claimed to take e.g.
''The two biggest teachers' unions are threatening a national one-day strike in England before Christmas in a row over pay, pensions and workloads.'' BBC NEWS
Problems within the education system keep on increasing and the problems are shown in the attitudes of both teachers and students.
So the questions that are asked now are;
Is education worth it?
Is the stress and debt of University worth the price and time?
What if your years studying don't ensure a well payed job?
Do people out of education who are successful prove education to be pointless?
Just some food for thought
