With Higher Education Institutions receiving thousands of applications for placement of students, and unable to enrol many for face-to-face tiution, I think online learning should be expanded to cater for those who cannot be accommodated.

Education, skills and training is crucial to creating employment. Many unemployed are also from rural and remote areas.
Online learning by Higher Learning Institutions should be encouraged especially for theoretical components of the curriculum.

As an ex-Engineering Lecturer and Head of Engineering faculty, and a contracted employee to QCTO, accrediting delivery sites where learners are trained, I am aware that very few Colleges have mobile classes, where they take training to poor and remote rural areas.

On-line teaching and learning can be done for the theoretical components of the curriculum, reducing the face-to-face time required for the practical components and projects, which are then supplemented with workplace training and mentoring.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace
there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly
and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself
with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well
as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery
But let this not blind you to what
virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life
keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery,
and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy. ~Max Ehrmann

Desiderata, that world-famous poem that begins, "Go placidly amid the noise and haste", must be one of the best-loved poems in the English language, revered by many as the ideal philosophy of life. Few people realise that it was written, not on a gravestone in an old churchyard, but in 1927, by t...

Hypocrisy and crocodile tears at funerals. Help if you can, the needy when they living. No use of having elaborate funerals and expensive rituals and ceremonies when they are deceased.

How often do you sit at home and wish someone would ring you and suggest, well anything rather than these 4 walls? How many of you have had a night out planned, or arranged coffee with friends and suddenly "these 4 walls" seem the only safe haven because it's the only place you don't have to pretend you are ok, so you cancel. Or when you are invited out you tell them how terribly sorry you are but you're already booked up that weekend, when you are actually just really busy holding it together in your safe box. And so the first problem starts, all by itself. People stop asking you and the isolation that at first wasn't true becomes your only truth.

Please don't give up on your friends. Ring them, go round, even when they don't want you to. Because they really do they just don't know how to say it.

Everyone says: "If you need anything, don't hesitate. I'll be there for you ".

I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic, that out of my Facebook friends that less than 5 will take the time to put this on their wall to help raise awareness of and for those who have mental health difficulties.

You just have to copy it from my wall and paste it to yours (hold down on my post and you will be given the option to copy... then go to your status and hold down to paste).
