Before reading the text answer the questions:
How do you understand a term “higher education”?

Read the text and think over the question asked in the title.
Is Higher Education Right For You?
Higher education could boost your career prospects and earning potential, while giving you the chance to immerse yourself in a subject that really interests you - and get involved in lots of other activities. Higher education is about taking your education to the next level: learning new things and getting to where you want to be. A higher education qualification could help you take charge of your future by developing skills and confidence and opening up new opportunities - whatever stage of life you're at. Even if no one else you know is thinking about going into higher education, it could still be the right choice for you. There are currently over two million higher education students in the UK. Higher education courses are offered at around 130 universities and higher education colleges, and many further education colleges. With more than 50,000 courses in a variety of academic and work-related subjects - including many that let you combine more than one subject - there's bound to be one that suits you.
