Do you think students can still thrive academically despite their pressing financial struggles? If yes, how do you think this can be achieved? Should they be encouraged to take up side gigs or just focus solely on their studies
Finance is very essential for students to thrive well academically, the expenses in higher institutions now is just too much, the cost of living in our society is high and it's really affecting students.
The high cost of data, daily feeding, house rent wahala , test books/hangout, and many other basic expenses. They need money to achieve all of these and even more.
It's not easy for students, and they need so much support.
It's difficult for students to strive academically facing financial struggles and even when they get a side hustle it is always difficult for them to balance both activities.
I support side gigs amongst students and I encourage many students I know to have a side gig, because having a side gig back in school really helped me as a student, even when there's support, it's necessary to still have a side gig, just to be able to provide some personal needs.
For struggling students, it's usually difficult to balance school activities and a side hustle, but with determination and proper balance of activities, I believe they can achieve academic success.
