The Money Question - Is it worth it?
Further Education
If your child, child in your care is thinking of continuing their education after Year 11 (compulsory education) either at sixth form or at college they may be entitled to financial help by receiving EMA. This can be up to £30 per week to help them carry on studying. For more information for students and parents visit the Direct.Gov website.
Higher Education
The costs of going to Higher Education can seem very expensive but there are lots of help with these costs that many people are eligible for. Although it seems like a lot of money it is a good investment for a young persons’ future.
A higher education qualification can give more opportunity to progress in a career and gives more options in the choices of jobs open to graduates. Employers today often favour graduates for many jobs even if it is not in a particular discipline. This is because employers know that many valuable skills such as team working, presentation skills, communication, analysis and problem solving are gained by studying for a higher education qualification whatever the subject.
