In some countries the education system is great where
families and students do not need to worry about the quality of education and the
financing of their education, but in other countries this is a different
story. I think there are a lot of
schools where the tuition fees are
very high and the education is not that great.
So families have to pay for private tuition
for their child who may need further support with their learning. After students
finish high school they may not able to enrol
at one of the best universities and this may affect what type of qualification they receive when they graduate. A good degree
from a good university does not always guarantee a good career but I believe it
helps.
