Some teachers think that international student exchange would be beneficial for all teenage school students. Do you think its advantages will outweigh the disadvantages?

It is clear that the recent debate on whether a cross-border educational program is beneficial to students remains controversial.

such

a project may be disadvantageous in some certain extents, I would contend that the demerits are overshadowed by the merits. There are two primary obstacles when a school pupil

to an international student exchange.

First

, engaging in these exchange projects may put a financial burden on their families. In fact, when the students study abroad, there are a host of fees their family have to cover

as tuition and daily living expenses which are prohibitively expensive, especially in developed countries.
