Nowadays, education overseas has become more accessible and growing numbers of people send their offspring to study in other countries. However, this trend has its detractors. Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

One of the greatest advantages of studying in a foreign country, 1especially in a developed one,especially, in a developed one, is that 2children learnthe children learn to be independent. Having to cook, clean, and pay bills 3instilsinstil this quality in them. Often they have to work part-time to make ends meet, and this impresses upon them the importance of work and money management. I believe that overseas education gives students many excellent 4opportunities, includingopportunities including better education, 5a better environmentbetter environment, becoming self-reliant and so on despite some of the negative aspects that are 6manageablenot tough to control. Apart from being self-7reliantdependant, another important 8benefit of pursuing educationfactor of pursuing the education in a foreign country is that 9these studentsthose children will be exposed to different cultures and ways of thinking. They will become 10more open-minded and tolerant, and they are likelymore open-minded and tolerant and are likely to become more adaptable individuals. 11One of the main motives for sending young people abroad to study is that it enhances their employment prospects. In my experience of living in foreign countries and speaking to 12various young peoplevarious youths, it seems that a foreign education is regarded as 13valuable for securing a good jobsomething desirable and helpful in getting a decent job. A degree from Britain, for example, is seen as being of 14a higher standard than a degreea higher standard than one from a developing country. Furthermore, living in a foreign country may lead to fluency in a second language, which is another 15advantageselling point for prospective employers. In addition, many companies are keen to recruit people with a global outlook. There are a few drawbacks 16toof this trend that cannot be avoided. For instance, without parental supervision, the new found freedom children experience may lead to 17harmful behaviours such as taking drugs and drinking alcoholharmful practices such as drug-taking and drinking. 18Reluctance or inability to reintegrate into their mother country is another. 19To sum up, it can be seen that the advantages of studying abroad for children are more numerous than the disadvantages. Of course, 20much dependsa lot depends on the age of the child, but I believe that for most teenagers it would be a positive experience.
