Refinancing Education

It is perhaps an item that burdens the budget of every head of household searching for available alternatives, which have become difficult due to living conditions and the rising cost of life. Therefore, we return to thinking again about free education by directing all royal grants toward means of supporting this trend, which many studies indicate is feasible to implement in stages to reach free university education, which in some cases is considered less costly than some private schools.

Funds prepared to support education suffer a lot, just like families; it is not enough to feed the funds with balances. This should be transformed into long-term management that relies on sustainability in the present time, instead of resorting to loans and grants that consume many resources.

Moving toward technical and vocational education and supporting it through institutions, bodies, and funding entities can provide the required support to pursue education, engage in the labor market, and shorten the years required to gain practical experience.

More than one charitable organization is concerned with financing and supporting education. Their experience, the nature of their partnerships, and their relationships with universities, banks, and parties concerned with education and scholarships can be utilized, as well as taking advantage of educational opportunities inside and outside the Kingdom, which is a service for everyone for mutual benefit in the field of supporting education.

Following graduation ceremonies and during academic stages, inquiries are made about the opportunities available to the graduate and the volume of spending until reaching the beginning of the journey, both on a personal and public level, and the balance required to provide appropriate job opportunities in the local and foreign labor market.

Spending on education is high. I was with a member of a private university's board of trustees a while ago, and he touched upon the high cost of operating the university, the large differences in continuing in the university education market, and the great efforts to attract Jordanian and expatriate students to provide the university with funding that covers some administrative costs.

Within the approach of social responsibility, many national institutions contribute to supporting university education through a specific mechanism and a specific budget, but that contribution is not enough to cover the need and priority for families to invest in the education of their members.

Often, a student's registration and enrollment in university depend on a small amount, and they are forced to postpone, cancel the semester, and personally search for a source of funding to continue their studies, so many students program their time between study and work.

Moving toward research grants during university studies is an important aspect to provide the research path with new sources, including advanced centers, with which communication has become available through websites and applying for available research grants.

The possibility of free education is available, and those concerned can be consulted for a useful start to contribute to alleviating burdens on everyone as much as possible and rationalizing spending and directing it to other areas that serve society more.
