Nowadays, schools in various parts of the world report that students tend to have behavioural problems. Unfortunately, this will make it harder for schools to educate students as problematic behaviours are likely to interfere with the education process.
There are some reasons as to why students behave inappropriately. Firstly, the way society works these days affect students’ behavioural patterns. For instance, parents might spend more time at work than at home and as a result, children lack parental guidance, not knowing how they are supposed to behave. This, in turn, is likely to cause them to have behavioural problems. Secondly, such behaviours might be caused by external influences, such as internet and television. Students, for example, might watch TV shows that use a lot of violence. Therefore, they are likely to imitate in real life by being more aggressive and using more violence. After all, students, especially teenagers, are easily affected by external parties.
In order to counter such problem, teachers should be friendly while still maintaining their professionalism. By being friendly, teachers might be able to understand students’ point of views and thus devise the right strategies to connect with them. This is because students are more likely to listen to teachers if they feel they can relate to the teachers and that the teachers understand them. Furthermore, it is also important to handle students patiently. This is really crucial since rough treatments might worsen their behaviours or encourage them to play truant. It is, therefore, wiser to be patient and guide students gradually to be well-behaved rather than using force to do so.
In conclusion, behavioural problems result from the way society works these days (e.g. lack of parental guidance) and external parties, such as bad influences from TV shows. Nevertheless, by understanding students’ views and guiding them patiently, students can gradually change and behave in a more appropriate manner.

Since university funding benefits both university students and society as a
whole, both parties should bear some of the cost of university educations.
University students gain both personal and economic benefits by attending
university; however, society also benefits by having a more educated
population. In addition, it is important that all members of society have the
opportunity to attend university regardless of wealth. In this essay the various
models of funding for university places will be discussed.
There is little doubt that people who attend university usually benefit through
higher salaries and greater opportunities. It is therefore reasonable that society
expects students to make some contribution to the cost of their education.
However, expecting students to fully fund their own education may cause
students to avoid courses that lead to less well-paying jobs such as the sciences,
nursing and teaching.
Society as a whole also benefits from having a more educated community and
should support people who make an effort to become educated. It is therefore
reasonable that governments also provide money for university places,
particularly when the cost of doing a course or the return for students
discourages them from completing a course that is needed by society.
The funding model that is used for university placements is also very important
as governments have a responsibility to provide an opportunity for all
members of society to attend university. Deferred repayment of fees through
low cost loans and the partial subsidising of university courses by government
are effective methods of ensuring fairer access to university education since
they allow people to pay for their education when they are best able to afford
to.
In summary, university education benefits both individuals and society and
both governments and individuals who receive a university education should
make a contribution to the costs of tertiary education. In addition, it is
important that appropriate loan schemes are in place to ensure that access to
university is available to all members of society.
