Portfolio Task 6

            In many countries, the number of people continuing their education after school has increased. Also, the range of courses available at universities and colleges has increased. Some of them continue their education online or by distance. In this essay I will write about the negative and the positive developments and finally I will give my opinion.

            To start with, in some countries there are a few negatives of the education development. One of these negatives is the country which already has long-established and devekoped systems of higher education. For example Britain and the USA, Educationists argue that the increase in the number of students will affect the universities degree and it will become devalued.

            On the other side, in developing countries the development of higher education is a positive development. The UAE is a good example, because many years ago there was only minimal educational teaching. However, these days the UAE has one of the best educational systems in the world. Another example in the UAE is the Higher Colleges of Technology which have developed very fast in the last 20 years.

            In conclusion, the number of students increased which affected the requirements to have a job in developed countries.

            To start with, females  who are traveling in economy class have more percentage rate on service than the males which is less than females by around 20 %. However, the males have a higher percentage on space than females; the males have 49% and the females have 25%. Food and drinks are the same for both, which is around 20%.

            For the business class, females and males have the same percentage for space; the percentage for both is around 43%. A less important thing for both is the movies which takes around 5% of both sexes.

            In conclusion, for economy class passengers, space and service are the most important features, while for business class travelers space leads their interests.
