Changes That The Ashford Settlement Has Caused

By Shawn Hunter


As soon as trouble set in, the news about what has been taking place here was everywhere. The sector dealing with education around here has admitted to receiving a couple of complaints. If things are not handled appropriately in an institution, reports are made here. The Ashford settlement that came up afterwards was in a bid to solve the problem.

A lot of false information was given out to the students which was misleading. Some of them were informed that as soon as they graduated they would be able to land jobs. This however, was not true as some graduates needed to work to get more qualifications so as to be accepted for certain jobs. Examples include jobs such as becoming a classroom teacher.

Certain fees that was to be paid apart from what was required for school was hiked. This was all for the sake of technology services. People would definitely pay for this without thinking twice even though some may be struggling to complete the fee. Most of the time once fees was paid, it was normally not refundable and this option was not really beneficial in certain situations.

For an institution that does not have so much to its name, there was a lot that made it questionable. Within a couple of years the number of individuals studying there has sky rocketed. People have been wondering about the situation that has lead to such a great improvement. It is said that most people have fed onto lies that have been sold to them.

There was also the inclusion of online classes. The institution was not considered fit enough to carry out such lessons after being examined by the state. This is because they did not have the normal classes together yet. Performance of the students was not considered good. Branching out further in the name of online classes would not benefit those who were interested in such a move.

Every academic year students sign up for certain educational funds. This is supposed to help them cater for their needs each and every day. Be it academic or basic. It became quite suspicious when these funds got to other people most of who were not eligible. This meant that the rest who depended on them had to find other means of survival.

It was agreed upon that the needs of students need to be put first. It is obvious that the school would be nowhere without them. Everything that has to do with their learning needs to be handled appropriately. They also need to be aware of whatever will affect them in one way or another. Those who teach them also need to do a better job.

The drop out here is often quite huge. Methods that will help retain the number of students are to be sought. Teacher licensure should also be made clear. Those who think they may have been handled unfairly are requested to call the school offices. Through this their cases can be heard and they may get a reimbursement of the money owed to them or any necessary help.
