More and more compatriots decide to send a child to learn abroad, arguing this with high quality education and great prospects to get a high-paying job. Is it really? Let's compare education abroad and in Russia, highlight the pros and cons of each.
Heat of native home
Of course, one of the most important advantages of learning at home is the ability to see close to loved ones and get moral support from them. The truth is not always tickets within the country will cost you cheaper. For example, a child from Vladivostok will be more profitable to study in Asian countries, and not in Moscow. While Muscovite will be convenient to go to Europe. A child growing away from home, pretty quickly becomes independent and financially independent of his parents. Always look at your Chado before making a decision on moving, some children will hardly survive stress in the form of separation and change of the usual lifestyle.

International Diploma
What the majority of Russian universities do not boast, the diploma of the international sample. Unfortunately, our diplomas are not accepted by most companies abroad. True, even from this situation there is a way out - to study for a program for two diplomas in a Russian university or go to a private educational institution. Yes, and not always a diploma will play an important role. Many programmers, for example, move to work in the United States, where, with employment, they look at their skills and experience, and not "crust." Now there are many international exchange programs where the child, having passed the competition, can enter the European undergraduate and magistracy completely free. And if you plan to get a European diploma, but not confident in the victory on a competitive basis, there is always a choice of paid training.
Difference in Approach
In Russia, only the system of individual training plans is introduced when the child himself decides which items he wants to study. True, this is the party about two medals - at a young age, few people are determined with a future profession and usually chooses the easiest curriculum, which immediately limits his ability to pass exams and admission, for example, to a technical university. However, training on an individual plan at the university affects unambiguously positively - everyone chooses the percentage of practice and theory, eliminates uninteresting items for themselves. It increases the involvement of the student in the process, its internal stimulus to go to classes and assimilate information in full.

Number of years of study
Another essential difference is the time you have to spend at school and university. If in Russia children finish school at 18, then in the United States, for example, in 16. The next step in compatriots - a university, and the Americans have a college and only then the university. Yes, and some professions are harder ... If the child decided to go to a doctor, then in Russia he will be able to practice in practice in 8 years, and in America there will be no less than 10-12 years before he can treat people.
Duration of the school day
In foreign countries, the lessons ends in the day - we can see not only in Hollywood films, but also in numerous videos laid out by schoolchildren on YouTube. At the same time, our children may well come from school at 16 o'clock, and even later. Not to mention the fact that somewhere still learn in a few shifts. The same with institutes - the number of lectures per day in Russia significantly exceeds their number abroad. Relieving, it is bad or good, everyone should for themselves. However, it is worth remembering that excessive load does not affect positively on health. With a large amount of study, it is necessary to observe the mode of sleep and nutrition, as well as relax outside the house - walk, go to the parties and in the cinema.
Thinking where to send a child to learn, stop thinking. The child is not your property, but a completely adult person who is in the right to independently solve his destiny. Let him choose a university himself, without the help of his parents.
