To Be or Not To Be, Higher Education: Our Key
To Be or Not To Be, Higher Education: Our Key
| Cartooning By: Janara Iysha Palumbi
A world round and round where everywhere and everything coexisting is a mere impossibility; that's the harsh reality everyone must face especially to those whose privileges lie between limitations. For most, especially for them, higher education is the key tounlocking the inaccessible but limitless boundaries. But what's a key when it can't be held? We think that education itself must be the one to counter its own limitation by becoming accessible to everyone who seeks hope from it.
Poverty is the number one problem that each nation faces; a snap to the reality that everyone doesn't face the same opportunities at the same time except for education. This one word is the only opportunity they can hold. They do everything on their will to access it. But in today's era, their state becomes a hindrance to achieve their only hope to overcome their own state. At this point, is "enough" education still a hope? or a way for moneymakers to utilize capitalism to generate profit?
In a learning-setting, those who have more access will always gain "the" privilege over others. The privilege to access more learning, the power of being the favorite , the freedom of buying himself opportunities, or basically, the advantage to do what he wants. Beneath this was an individual who got accepted in colleges but couldn’t afford it, drowned in debt to hold on to their dreams. And some had to halt their studies—hopes put on hold. Their stories of battle often left untold.
The rising education costs makes the word "hope" an absurdity—locking students out of their dreams. Education should be a fundamental right for all, not a privilege for the few. It must be a key that anyone can hold; the scholarships, grants, and government-funded programs can offer great help, but to truly help, we demand more. No, we need more. Spread these stories, let your voices ring; champion transformation and empower an education that rises within our reach. We'll open doors wide, with “hope” as our guide.
