The college of Scotland has introduced a specific support program to enable the student-parents combine their student lives with their family lives. The program has also involved flexible classroom schedules, childcare, and even financial resources so that the student parents are not unduly burdened with the extra responsibility to take care of their children as they study.
College officials stressed the fact that higher education should be inclusive and everyone has access to it. The program is to be focused on lowering the schools dropout rates between student-parents and providing a better environment to study and learn.
The trend has been glowingly ac haled by students and education advocates, who note it is indicative of an increasing sensitivity to the variety of needs of today-s learners. It is proposed to have extensions of the support system with reference to the student response.
