The value of a good education is normally important. However, when this was declared, no one told us that it included factors such as financial capacity to maintain a worthy education. Hit hard by the turn of events that the world economy has been producing are the kids hoping for a promising future. At the rate that things are going right now, one can actually see the large amount of gloom and uncertainty in the eye of students and all the financial problems they have to go through just to attain a diploma.

Further compounding the woes of university students today is the hardship of landing a decent job. Unemployment rates are up and while many believe that work experience is preferred over neophyte graduates, it seems that the task to earn a living has likewise become another point for debate on whether an education is worth attaining to or not.

The number of kids dropping out of school is no longer attributed to their lack of discipline or willingness to learn. Financial issues have restrained them from continuing their studies, something that has gone beyond their control. Add to the fact that some educational institutions have been forced to raise their tuition fees and you get a whole pot of controversies that makes any average student to consider abandoning ship for their chosen career.

The path towards holding on and hoping the financial issues improve is still being preached. But given the situation most people find themselves in, the future seems so cloudy and dim for teens who normally looked forward to something promising as far as their future outlook is concerned. Things will get better but the time element is once again a factor that no one controls.

So with that said, the threat of declining education and students who can afford to continue with their education has become a deep concern. Parents and guardians have been trying desperately to keep their kids at school since this is the only thing that they can actually provide their children as far as their future is concerned. But unless the economy picks up and take a turn for the good, education seems to be irrelevant at this point, particularly for the upcoming graduates who find themselves in a tough grind as far as landing a decent job to survive.

We may not be seeing education among the top concerns that the economic crunch is pounding on right now. However, it doesn’t need to be publicized to note that education is still valuable and something intangible as far as being inherited from our peers. The timing may be gloomy but given time when the economy does recover, hopefully the students who stuck it out with their hard earned degree can look forward to putting thing in perspective and getting the proper occupation that is duly theirs.

It all started from lead paint poisoning and now melamine. China, a promising and expected growing nation in Asia may have bitten off more than it can chew. Rather than perhaps already be among the stable top countries the world knows of today, it is slowly teetering on the brinks of economic and national disaster.

Earlier this year, it has already been involved in the celebrated lead point poisoning, distributing toys that proved to be hazardous to children who were exposed to them. It has since recalled all toys manufactured, tagging along big names in the United States which have suffered severely as far as brand reliance is concerned.

This issue has since died down but the tarnish that it has created on China and various US toy brands has been imprinted. Just recently, melamine found initially in infant’s milk has caused quite a stir and this has since extended as far as dairy milk and chocolates. Again, this issue has dragged along big names in America such as Cadbury which has been proven to have melamine traces from independent national testing.

With all of these in consideration the impact on the Chinese national economy cannot be felt right now. They are indeed the new kids on the rise today but these controversies will have a large bearing on their credibility.

Neighboring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia are quiet but expected to take advantage of these spate of blunders. They are the current markets on the rise and most of these will be discussed in the next articles.
