Before you send your child abroad, read this
Sending your children abroad is a dream for many parents and it can be a dream come true if done in the proper way. But here are the mistakes parents often make
1. Not doing proper research about the country to which you are sending your children. Factors like economics, cost of living and standards of living greatly affect the educational experience of your child abroad. It is a common belief among Africans that anywhere out of Africa can do. Hehee😂😂
2. Not doing proper research about the university you are sending your child to. This can usually be a bad move if the university is not well recognized globally.
That's when you realize you have spent thousands of dollars on a degree that cannot even land your child a job in your own country. The whole point about studying abroad is to get better education.
3. Not doing proper career planning.
Start with the end in mind. If my child studies there, what is the way forward? What are the advantages? What is the exit plan? Is this degree viable to work in my country? Ok you want to move to a better country afterwards. How?
You can't just throw the bones and pray
Too often we see parents spending thousands on degrees abroad where it could have been better if they sent their children to a local university.
