Educators believe that international student
exchange
programs have many benefits for teen students. They may have certain opportunities to learn about others' academic systems and social culture in their new school.
Otherwise
, several drawbacks may affect
this
issue, but I believe that the advantages can outweigh the disadvantages.
To begin
with, the
exchange
program
allows teenagers to
study
with a different academic system from their previous school.
For instance
, youngsters from developing countries may experience formal education in developed countries
such
as Japan, the UK, or the USA.
This
may broaden their horizon and mindset and can be examples for them to contribute to academic development in their home countries.
Moreover
,
this
program
provides cultural events attended by each student
exchange
.
This
might introduce each country's culture and they may be able to learn about other's traditional clothes, songs, foods, and even habits,
Consequently
, there are many positive effects from the
exchange
program
for their participants.
On the other hand
, teens that join
this
program
are often should postpone their graduation because they have to
study
some courses that not provided in their
exchange
school.
For example
,
this
situation happens a lot in college, when undergraduate students that participate in six months to a year abroad programs graduate late than their companies even though they finished their thesis in normal time. After they back to their home institution, they have to join some classes with juniors because they have not taken it and it

their graduation time.
Moreover
, their tuition fee is
also
still run when they
study
in an
exchange
institution.
Thus
, basically, they must pay one year more than they should be.
To sum up, the positive effects of
exchange
programs are it requires many international opportunities to
study
both in academic and non-academic
such
as culture and social lessons. The demerits are that students may have to pay extra tuition because participating in
this
program
means they have to delay their graduation. I think that the advantages can outweigh the disadvantages with wise preparation from the participants and their families or supporters.
