Why do young people find the transition between school and university challenging

The transition between school and university is of freedom.

In the university, there is freedom to do assignments and classes another tasks. There are no compulsory home tasks daily.The discipline if different from the school. The authorities are changed.

In case of school, there is compulsory attendance and compulsory assignments and home tasks. There is no freedom for the changing of rules. There are proper code of conduct to which every one have to follow.

Children have fewer responsibilities in school as compared to when they are in college. In school, children have to be more responsible for their learning whereas, at university, children are not closely monitored or directed by the lecturers in “what” and “how” to learn.

Further Explanation:

Children have more “freedom” whether they attend classes/lectures or not or whether take notes or not. Students will be assessed and at least clear and pass their set “assignments” and “examination” to show to the University that they have completed or fulfilled the “course requirements” adequately to progress further. However, children in the university have to be “self-directed” and be “responsible” for their own knowledge and learning.

At School, learning for students is mostly “teacher-directed” and “closely monitored” by the teacher. Children have less “freedom” to decide whether they can skip classes or not. If they do so, they have to provide valid reasons for their absence.  

In this transitional period, students learn to cope up and deal with the challenges. Whereas, what a child learns in school is the foundation for what he would learn in university.
