Sending children abroad at an early age does not show love – Alban Bagbin

Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has cautioned Ghanaian parents against sending their children abroad at a young age for education, arguing that the practice can weaken family bonds, diminish patriotism and erode the children's connection to their country.

According to the Speaker, parents who believe they are securing a better future for their children by relocating them abroad at a young age may, in fact, be depriving them of the values and relationships that come from growing up within their own communities." The Speaker also expressed concern that children raised abroad from infancy may miss out on the family values and communal traditions that are deeply rooted in Ghanaian society.
