Why do students require support during their education?

It’s never too early or too late to learn. Learning should not be age bound. However, when adult students take classes they are usually blasted with comments and messages that it’s too late for them to resume their studies or learn a new skill. We would never find an example where an adult learner is made to feel comfortable in the classroom of young students. Why? Because the latter does not connect with the former.

The hurdles for adult students are far beyond what we imagine them to be. It’s not just about fitting in. Even in the era where the mentalities are believed to be broader, this remains a stigma. For instance- in the application process for the new course which is widely done online, what about those who are homeless or not economically stable to afford one.

Mature students are often seen to have a strong desire to advance and learn. Moreover, they are barely given the support system which they require to thrive. We face the truth that our system to date is not efficient to help those in need. We need to begin it by altering the mentality of kids so that they do not find it different from the regular if they see someone older than them. Moreover, we as adults need to come out of our comfort zone and accomplish what we desire irrespective of age.
