I want to proceed my education but the problem is we don't have accredit institution in our country and going oversees needs more is very costly that is why I couldn't proceed.

One key obstacle for many students is accessing quality information--knowing best programs for desired outcomes or where there is funding to support student access, etc. Access to relevant information is a vital part of making smart tertiary education choices and achieving successful outcomes.

for my M.A., I was faced with one main challenge that was reflected in two instances: lack of academic staff. While the academic staff in my schoo were highly qualified, they were too few and overloaded with both undergraduate and graduate teaching load. This was reflected in limited variety of courses offered, as well the challenge innidentifying a dedicated staff to be my Thesis Supervisor.
Having received my DBA in the Netherlands, I was faced with "recognition challenges" upon return to my home country, where the higher education system does not recognize diversity of specialisations and it assumes that students should retain the same specialisation at the undergraduate and graduate stages.

Great question.
I was surprised not seeing "limited academic readiness" as one of the potential challenges being faced by students in tertiary education.

I did my Masters via distance education whilst working full time and trying to run a household of 2 primary school children and my husband. Juggling work, caring for family and studying was a struggle and often I dropped a few "balls" but was thankful for understanding bosses and extended family members who stepped in to care for my children during the weekends so that I could commit time to studying.

I am about to finish my Masters and like Emily I am also studying part time and working full time. In times it is very hard to focus on my studies given the very limited time I can spare to study. Other than that the cost of going to university in Australia is ridiculous. For postgraduate degrees, such as MBAs which can cost $75,000, universities can, and have been, charging what they like for some time.

I was fortunate to benefit from the excellent and free public education in Russia at the tail end of the Soviet system. It was the early 90s and food was virtually unavailable/inedible on the University campus. I worked full-time through three years of my Bachelor's and Master's programs. But the biggest challenge for me was at the entry -- too few spaces were available and passing the entry exams required more effort and stress than anything else.
My biggest challenge in obtaining an MBA in the U.S. was the cultural fit.

At the undergraduate level, political unrest that led to closing down of the university and delays in completing semesters was the biggest obstacle.

For my bachelor degree, I had free access to college, but the question was how and what to eat: my mum and dad were both jobless and the government was providing us less than USD 10 monthly financial assistance, and no accomodation nor food. I could spend days without eating, while I had to walk down to school. I had to buy books for myself (could only afford 1960's book in 2008), had no internet access and had sometimes to seat on the ground to take classes.
For my Masters degree, I could see all the difference: I had a joint Japan World Bank Graduate scholarship. I had at least 3 buffets per day, great accomodation, internet access, books and everything, from the USD 1,500 monthly stipends that I was receiving in the USA.
Life is sometimes difficult, very difficult.

quality of professors and teachers in india at the university level is very poor on average... the problem with focusing on "IIT" level institutions to the detriment to all the others.

As a US citizen, the cost of getting my bachelors degree was almost prohibitive, and it did present a burden to my finances after graduation. It was an anchor around my neck in terms of moving forward. When I finally did go for my masters--I chose to do an MBA in a distance learning mode so that I could pay as I went and work full time. The US system is lauded by many, but it is prohibitively expensive for many, and there are good questions about its ROI.

Lack of knowledge or information about programs available (in country and abroad) and value for investment. In some case, this widens the gap among students of different socio-economic backgrounds, putting those whose parents are not as well educated at a disadvantage as they tend to go with what they know, or what their school administration knows, which is not often sufficient.

I think that you forgot an academic lack from previous levels. In Example, Calculus. In my personal case, all I know about it was learned in the University, when I should receive any instruction or tough about it in the school. And there are some other reasons that difficult the adaptation to University environment as social circles of pairs; I mean, in Colombia, each university seems to have a certain target group in terms of schools, if you are not from these schools try to become part of these circles of friends that know each other for more than 5 years is hard.

Build more schools. They will come.
