Prioritizing Your Child’s Needs: The Key to Successful Overseas Education Planning
In 2023, Vietnam witnessed a record high of over 43,000 students studying abroad in South Korea, as reported by the Korea Education Development Institute (KEDI). Additionally, English-speaking countries have also been attracting Vietnamese students, with Australia leading the way, hosting nearly 33,000, followed by the US and Canada, which together welcomed 17,175 Vietnamese students.
While these statistics provide valuable insights, the most crucial factor for parents planning their children’s overseas education is ensuring it aligns with their child’s interests and abilities.
Ms. P. Loan from District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, shared her criteria for choosing the right school: “First, we consider my child’s preferred field of study, and then we look at the tuition fees. If we find multiple suitable options after these initial filters, we jointly decide based on the school’s reputation and the host country’s living environment.”
Living and studying in a foreign country can be challenging. To gain practical insights, modern parents often turn to online communities and social media groups, seeking advice from a diverse range of individuals with first-hand experience.
Mr. Đ. Phương, a resident of Ma May, Hanoi, whose child is currently studying in London, UK, emphasized the importance of cultural understanding and shared a tip: “Besides proficiency in English, I advised my child to learn about the local culture and culinary habits. When we first arrived, we felt overwhelmed by the transportation options. After much consideration, we chose a slightly farther accommodation that offered a safer environment for Asians. Commuting to school is convenient, with just a 10-minute underground or 15-minute bus ride.”

As parents navigate their children’s academic journey abroad, they also discover financial strategies, including efficient ways to pay tuition and living expenses, leveraging the benefits offered by reputable banks.
