A child has to know how to swim in shallow water, deep water and turbulence water. International education brings a totally different culture to the child in its home country. As such the child may not be ready to swim the local turbulence water. Further early international education is costly and in my view it is not sure that the child will be leading that path in the future. It has been proven via studies that children learn fast and more clearly in their mother tongue than a different language. The cost of early education is more ripping and throat cutting that it is more expensive than a university degree. Hence it is best to put the child through local education with some additional coaching that is necessary and save all the money for its degree and masters in some reputable educational institutions in future when the child is more matured to understand its needs.
