If parents have resources and are determined to make the future of their children bright and meaningful studying abroad to obtain skills and qualifications in high demand internationally is the best way to go about. The success stories of young Sri Lankans doing so well in developed countries after such opportunities made available to them by their parents are so many. However it is a known fact that the level of success in the chosen career has a large bearing on the institution from where one received the tertiary education.
