"Local or international school: Which way?" was an article published Feb 6, 2014 in the Education Section of New Vision, a daily newspaper in Uganda; the article, written by Owen Wagabaza, describes how options have changed greatly for types of education in Uganda in the last 10 years. Wagabaza says there are, at the time of the writing, 17 international schools in Uganda serving 3000 students and will soon be joined by the GEMS Cambridge International School System, serving over 100,000 students around the world through the network of Cambridge International Schools (CIS). Wagabaza describes the decisions that local parents now have to make concerning their choices in schools, listing both advantages and disadvantages of both choices (local or international). The changes in the educational landscape in Uganda in the last decade are probably mirrored in other countries around the world.
What factors, aside from cost, would you consider if deciding about placing your child in an international or local school in your own country?
