Reducing the Administrative Burden for Further Education

The introduction of the Government's Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) in September 2004 meant that more young people from poorer backgrounds could afford to stay on in further education instead of being forced to find work.

How to Be a Better Student and Improve Your Learning

If you're a student attending classes, you have probably experienced many moments when it was hard to make yourself settle down and study, even when an important exam was coming up. If you're like most students, you put off studying until the very last minute. The night before the exam, you'll stay up all night cramming, getting little or no sleep. In the morning, you'll drag yourself out of bed, psych yourself up with lots of coffee and some cigarettes, and go into the exam feeling exhausted, ...

The Internet & Education

On many a Friday night my daughter and I can be found in front of the computer playing an online game based upon 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'. The differences are that all the questions are related to science, we can't actually win a million dollars, it's absolutely free, and we are the players. It isn't unusual for us to spend a couple of hours playing this game. I am always amazed by how much she knows as her age as well as how much I seem to have forgotten at mine. Many years ago while ...

Don't let your child slide by with C's when you know he or she could be getting A's. All children have untapped potential that parents can help bring out. Since students in the United States are in school fewer days and fewer hours than many other countries, this leaves many hours available for parents to step into a role far more influential than they might imagine. Education isn't just the teacher's job. A parent is a child's first teacher from birth to school age. Involved parents can make a ...

Student Removals- Self Packing and Insurance - For Proper

Students and people undertaking small removals are very likely to want to pack themselves. Whereas self packing will save money, it muddies the water as far as both insurers and removers are concerned. Spurious claims, poorly defined responsibility (e.g you packed it badly), and the high administative cost of 'adjusting' claims for small amounts, all mitigate against good value for the customer. Policies are so diluted by exclusion and excess clauses, that they are usually ineffective ...
