My role as a student in higher education and my role as a future health care practitioner. Historically, how nurses are educated has changed dramatically. Long gone are the days of apprenticeship styled training programmes of the 18th century Florence Nightingale era, whereby nurses learnt all they needed to know by the bedside. Instead, present day nurses are required to be trained to high level in order to deliver research based practice and evidence-based healthcare in highly specialised settings
developed countries but is also present in emerging countries, like Mexico. One of the main reasons for this decline is said to be the postponement of marriage among young people.

Increasing possibilities to achieve a higher education and therefore working in an appealing job has become increasingly attractive to young women. This change in values also contributed to the increase in unmarried singles in their twenties

Higher Education Is Worth the Price Is getting a higher education worth the price? I think it is. In the book, “they say I say” the author, argues that not getting an education doesn’t necessary mean not having a good job or a good position. I disagree. I believe education is really important. You may think you have a good job in your possession or a good secure position, but later in life when a promotional opportunity arises, you’ll always fall short without the degree at your fingertips. Jobs
millennium and so many of the gaps most noticeable within the education system in the twentieth century have been closed. Attainment and participation in both primary and secondary education is now almost equally open to boys and girls from around the world, and tertiary education is even seeing a bias in women’s attendance over men.

This system is coming from earlier. In Indian context caste is a very big factor of social stratification. Untouchability is found within caste.

skilled workers, who get less education, work for low qualification jobs and that means lower incomes than higher positions. So we can certainly say that the other factor of the income inequality is education. Because the primary criterion to possess a job is education. No one can maintain his/her life without income and anyone can earn money without a job. Income and job link to the education. When employers recruit someone to a job, they first look at that person’s education and job’s requirements are

POVERTY and EDUCATION In today’s society it’s hard to get by. Many people and families don’t know how they’re going to make it through the month, some don’t know how they’ll make it through the week; others don’t know how they’ll make it to the next day. The point is that many of the people in our society are struggling day by day just to make a living. What good is it that our educators and society continue to instill in our brains that we need to get an education in order to be able to make a

Education "The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living differ from the dead."(Aristotle) The importance of education is effectively illustrated in the book Crow Lake by Mary Lawson and also in Alden Nowlan's poem Warren Pryor.

Both Kate and Warren used education as a tool to escape poverty. However, they differ in their feelings

Therefore it was a course. ‘Curriculum is a body of knowledge-content and/or subjects. Education in this sense is the process by which these are transmitted or 'delivered' to students by the most effective methods that can be devised.’ (Blenkin et al 1992, pg 23).
