For many Bangladeshi families, sending a child abroad for higher education is one of the most significant—and emotional—decisions they will ever make. It’s more than an academic journey. It’s about safety, investment, future stability, and family pride.At PathBridge Education,
we work closely with parents like you to ensure the process is smooth, safe, and future-proof. Here’s what every parent needs to know before taking that leap.
✅ 1. Start With the Career, Not the Country
Too many students are sent to “any” university because of a fast admission offer or agent pressure. That’s risky.
What to do instead:
Sit with your child and ask:
- What kind of job do they want?
- Are they interested in technology, business, healthcare, or something else?
- Which countries offer the best career options for that path?
At PathBridge, we conduct career-first counseling, then match countries and universities based on real outcomes.
✅ 2. Safety Is Not Just a Word—It’s a System
As a parent, you worry about where your child will stay, how safe it is, and what happens if there’s an emergency.
What to expect from a good agency:
- Verified accommodation placement
- Post-arrival student check-ins
- Emergency contact access for parents
- Airport pickup coordination
We maintain direct contact with parents at every stage so you feel connected—even from thousands of kilometers away.
✅ 3. You Should Never Hand Over Large Payments to Agents
Tuition, visa fees, accommodation deposits—these are often mishandled by unethical agents.
Our policy:
We never take money from the student. All payments go:
- ✅ Directly to the university account
- ✅ Directly to the travel agency
- ✅ Directly to the visa center or embassy
We only guide and facilitate—your money always stays in your hands.
✅ 4. The Right Time to Start Is Now—Not Last Minute
Universities have deadlines. Visas take time. Housing fills up. Many families wait until it’s too late and either miss the intake or rush into bad decisions.
We recommend starting 6–9 months before your desired intake (e.g., for September 2025, start by January or February).
