Iirhafu kunye nezoyikiso zobhubhane, ngamagama abafundi beekholeji

Kulo bhubhani uqhubekayo kwihlabathi liphela, phantse wonke umntu uyazibuza, Yintoni ngoku? Kubafundi beekholeji njengam, umbuzo unzima ngakumbi. Kwilizwe liphela, ngequbuliso sathunyelwa ekhaya singazi nokuba siza kubuyela nini esikolweni. Njengoko ukungaqiniseki kwe-COVID-19 kusanda, uninzi lwamathuba emisebenzi kunye namathuba emisebenzi ayarhoxiswa kubafundi abasonga iisemesta zabo zentwasahlobo. Imisitho yokuthweswa izidanga ihlehlisiwe, kwaye amaxesha obuntu, amaxesha obuqu ebesilinde bonke ubomi bethu ukuba buthathwe yile ntsholongwane. KuMbonisi, ndacela abafundi endandifunda nabo ukuba babelane ngendlela abachaphazeleke ngayo yinoveli coronavirus kunye nawaphi na amaxhala okanye ithemba abanalo ngekamva.

Njengomfundi waseFordham ngokwam, uninzi lweempendulo zivela kwabanye abafundi beFordham okanye iikholeji eMantla mpuma, kodwa ezi mvakalelo zixhaphakile. Ngokubalulekileyo, ayisiyiyo yonke intshabalalo kunye nesithokothoko. Iiyunivesithi kunye neekholeji kwilizwe liphela ziqwalasele imbuyiselo yegumbi kunye nebhodi , ukuqhubeka kwentlawulo yeenkqubo zokufunda kunye neendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuphumelela ezichaphazeleka kakubi yi-COVID-19. Kwenziwa iinzame zokuphungula oku kuphoxeka, kodwa le meko ihlala ityhafisa kwaye inika uxinzelelo kubafundi abaninzi.

Kubuhlungu kakhulu ukungakwazi ukwenza yonke iminyhadala ebesiyicwangcisile ukuphela kwesemester, utshilo uKelsey Smith, umphathi weSyunivesithi yaseSyrause kunye nesinye sezigidi kwiklasi ye2020 Ukuqala kuphazamisekile .

Uninzi lwethu lunethamsanqa lokuba thina kunye nabo sibathandayo sihlale sikhuselekile kwaye sisempilweni, kwaye sinelungelo lokuqhubeka nemfundo yethu kwi-intanethi. Nangona kunjalo, akukho mathandabuzo ukuba imibhiyozo erhoxisiweyo kunye namathuba okuqhwabela izandla umsebenzi wethu onzima awuhlabi. Iimpawu ezibalulekileyo zonyaka we-4 wamava ekholeji zisuswe kuthi. Ukungakhuseleki kwemisebenzi kuphezulu, ngama-20.5 ezigidi zabantu baseMelika abaphulukana nemisebenzi ngo-Epreli kwaye inqanaba lokungaphangeli labetha i-14.7%. Kungekudala siza kongeza izigidi zabafundi abaphumelele kwiikholeji kuqoqosho olukumgangatho ombi kunakuqala.

Umsebenzi wam ekhaya uyeke abasebenzi abangaphezu kwama-40, kwaye ngoku andinawo umsebenzi naphina, utshilo uDavid Fretz, umfundi kwiYunivesithi yaseFordham. Andazi ukuba kwixesha elizayo ndiza kukwazi ukwenza nayiphi na imali kwaphela.

Njengokudakumba njengoko ezinye zivakala, ithemba lam kukuba ezi zikowuteshini zinceda abafundi abanjengam bazive beviwe kwaye bancinci bodwa kubunzima bethu.
