One of the biggest financial problems that are currently present in the United States is in regard to education. Student debt is a shackling factor that has haunted many people to reconsider their future education. Currently, the student debt in the US tops $1.75 Trillion. Yes, the debt will get some relaxation with graduation. But, the puzzling problem is that the drop-out rate of students from educational institutions in the US is around 50 %.
Thus, everything just gets more problematic and complex. But, now an initiative by Hank Green has been getting momentum. People like MrBeast and other popular celebrities were seen giving the green flag on this new venture brought by Hank.

MrBeast and other celebrities appreciate the new educational initiative
Hank Green is an American Vlogger popularly known for his educational videos with his brother. The Vlogbrothers channel is a popular YouTube channel and Hank is also well-known for creating and hosting channels like Crash Course and SciShow.
Hank Green and his brother are teaming up with Arizona State University and Google to bring brand new opportunities for people who seek higher education. The new venture is called gostudyhall.com.
In 2010 my brother and I started posting educational videos because we had run out of ideas for our vlog.
Today, with @ASU and @Google, we’re launching https://t.co/ciWkOtX8iS a path from YouTube to real, transferable college credit, and I want to talk about why (and how).

This partnership is aimed at tackling various problems that posit as hurdles to educational opportunities.
One of the main problems this venture is aiming to tackle is the problem of dropping out, which was mentioned earlier. There are many who are affected by cost, and the mental dilemma about college expenses has a deep toll on many. This surely pulls people away from pursuing advanced education.
Secondly, the lack of knowledge about the complex bureaucratic process and laws surely confuses many. Finally, the base of knowledge that students get from their school days is not necessarily enough and there are even some who have taken a very long break from academics. Thus, gostudyhall is trying to sort out all these problems through their service.

They are aiming to decrease the number of people failing and dropping out. All the videos of studyhall will be free, and courses with classmates and a tutor will only cost around $25. Moreover, students can avail college credit by paying $400 from any ASU credit-valid institution. This is actually only a fraction of the expense that an in-state student bears.
