In recent years the Philippines had embarked on a free college education for those students who will enroll in state owned schools and provided subsidy for student enrolled in other government and private schools.
You are a brilliant student and so got a scholarship. In India too it's very difficult to get a scholarship. However now the amount the government gives is not sufficient to cover the education expenses. Parents do have to spend quite a lot.That's good to hear. My graduate and post graduate studies were through scholarship program with allowance. It helped me achieved my goals. It's not easy. I also spend some through my salary.
That is not a good example of a government wanting to corrupt the education of the nation's future leaders. In my country, there is a Commission on Audit ( COA) responsible for auditing nationwide for all government offices, colleges, and universities.
It's an assurance that I can maintain my scholarship. There were teachers feeling high and mighty. There was one teacher I challenged for a debate with entrance fee but she didn't approve. She was scared to the bones.I never complained about grades. My only consolation is that I get better grades in subjects that most of the dean Listers have low grades lol.
You surely have missed your dad, and was so happy being a fulfilled father to you. I also hope you enjoyed a big salary being a post-graduate employee.My college education was financed by my father from intermediate to postgraduation. He had his bad times but never stopped my education.
My father was always with me in my bad times as long as he lived. Where a big salary is concerned, then it's a no. We experienced job crisis that time and therefore didn't get a job before marriage. I got a government job after marriage that too when my sons were just babies and had to resign after 15 days. I therefore worked as a school teacher wherever my husband was posted as a government officer. As a widow it's his pension that I am getting to run myself.You surely have missed your dad, and was so happy being a fulfilled father to you. I also hope you enjoyed a big salary being a post-graduate employee.
That's right. Government subsidies for higher education is still quite high that the middle class and poor can't afford.Government subsidizes college education in some countries , yet students who study in top colleges are victims of government resume robbery and the government agencies are also robbing the retirement savings of professionals without a court order.
Your kids might feel insecure and inferior. Ask them on what they want for their future. It's they to decide and to support.The challenge is that I don't know if I would send my kids to college. It all seems like a waste now. I would just push them to learn skills that would make them relevant in the present and the future.
