THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM

-


 Some educationalists think that international exchange visits will benefit teenagers at the school.

To what extend do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

         Nowadays, globalisation goes through every sector of the social life. Thereby, education has not been ignored. International exchange visits are seen differently. We do agree that it profits the young pupils but it still has a few drawbacks. 

          Teens get many outcomes from their contact with another country, thus another culture and even another language. They experience a cultural integration and another way of seeing and doing things. Moreover, their behaviour improves and broadens in case they get into a richer culture than theirs. Additionally, teenagers nourish a mind-set of competitors which in turn will tends them at promoting their different countries thereby inciting each other to visit their counties or to even settle there. It should be also noted that pupils who experience such exchange get more and more open to the world and become aware of what is to be improved in his own country. So, the main target of education being the guarantee of an openness to the world is ensured through that exchange.

         However, it important to note that however predominant its advantages are, the international exchange visits still have some drawbacks. First of all, the travel fees are too high. As a result, some pupils find themselves left behind due to their social status. It results in selective education thereby frustration. Secondly, when in contact with other pupils with different culture or religion teenagers may be negatively influenced or affected by their thoughts or behaviours. Finally, the risk of accidents is there even if it does not occur frequently.

         In summary, moving for an educational purpose is part of education. For it provides the learners with cross bound experiences and new knowledge at the price of an insignificant drawback.

    Hi BK
    Feedback on this publication

    Strengths of the publication
    *Topic is good
    *Good paragraphing
    *Content informative.

    What to improve
    * Topic sentence needs the writer assertion.
    *It's not acceptable to think or support that one might encounter a culture richer than his/her one. Of course some might be poor in one's culture and we need to improve that in another culture. But doesn't mean it's richer than yours. So, think to say this in an acceptable way. See paragraph 2.
    *editing is needed for some typos (in paragraph 2, .... visit their counties.
    In the same paragraph, ......his own country. But his is referring to Students as subject. So, you should use their instead.

    Congratulations for all these 3 publications in this week

Pan-Africanism

-
MAY 25, SYMBOLIC OR REAL? This day dedicated to Pan-Africanism suffers from a hypocrisy of the African Elite which brings the euphoria of a dream with the hidden face to ordinary citizens. The African Elite until then works in an ambivalence which is characterized by its great love for the West and at the same time by its "great repulsion" towards the latter when it comes face to face with its people. Verbs, for six decades, have stolen the limelight from concrete actions, pledges of the realization of what until now was only a dream. A paradigm shift is timely in favor of a truly united Africa. It is obvious that the leaders who have worked in the direction of a paradigm shift have been perceived as enemies of Africa due to our lack of culture. There is no need to mention the names of these charismatic leaders who were sacrificed on the altar of African unity. It is time we question the identity of the person to whom the unity of Africa would bother and why? Experts answered...

  Teaching people a better way of doing things is considered worldwide to be the most important step of human life. It is said to be continual for it begins from the cradle to the grave. Moreover, education starts in childhood through parents and continues up to adulthood through the society. Parents want their children to have a perfect behaviour. Most parents care more about their children’s social integration than anything else. They see after them at every single step. Besides that, parents invest big funds in the formal education of their children. The more the child grows up, the more the investment grows and the child becomes more and more aware of the importance of his education. To illustrate, at a certain age some children find that going to school is a punishment but while growing up they find the opposite harmful and fight worthy. Obviously, a child’s education is hold by his parents up to the moment he becomes aware of its necessity and stands for his own education thr...
