Breaking the limitations: Seeking Education Outside your Home Country - Nurse Tola
Quality education is becoming a standard worldwide however, the cost of this quality education is not easily affordable for low-income earners. This trend is affecting all level of education but no matter how expensive quality education is, the cost of ignorance is way higher.
Generally, middle class and upper-class economy are currently investing in improving research and education. This is why migration from low-income countries is currently tilted towards the middle class and upper-class economy, while the middle-class economy migrates towards the upper-class economy. Nigeria being one of the low-income country is experiencing a brain drain as many Nigerians are seeking greener pasture, majorly for work and studies.
The cost of studying abroad is quite on the high side for Nigerians so most who want to are seeking scholarship. The most interesting thing is that some of those who want to study abroad don’t know how to start.
Do you want to study abroad? This article gives 10 tips about how to start.
- The first step to actualizing that dream is deciding to study outside your home country.
- Secondly, use your mobile data or internet wisely by searching for schools and their entry requirements.
- Don't expect the stake to be low. Expect to spend quite a huge sum of money for the processes involved. This is in relation to the foreign exchange rate of your country of residence.
- Be prepared to go through some inconveniences.
- Don't wait until you have all the money for the processes before you start working on applying.
- Prioritize the processes. The first for you may be to get your international passport while for another it may be writing a test of English. Either way, set your priorities right.
- You may want to ask the school to waive the required test of English (TOE). However, this may take a lot of time to get the approval. My advice is write the TOE and work hard to get the exact or beyond the benchmark score. This puts you at a better position for consideration.
- If you are looking to apply for a scholarship, start searching and on the school web page and other scholarship news source.
- You can also write faculty members about your intentions. They may have a research grant that can be used to sponsor your studies.
- Ask for help from friends and others.
