Parent Information

As a parent, the thought of letting your son or daughter go off to another country for study can be a daunting one. On the one hand, you realise the experience will open a whole new world of possibilities for your child. They will experience life in another country, with all the opportunities for personal and professional growth that come from studying abroad. On the other hand, they will be living in a new country with different values, beliefs, culture and language. Will they be able to adapt and fit in? Will they be a target of racism? Will your child be safe, and free from physical and mental harm? How trustworthy are the educational institutions overseas? How can you be sure any qualifications received will be of value to your child's future? Can you afford to send your child overseas to study? These are all perfectly natural questions. The following information attempts to address these issues.
