Guiding your child's study choice

Parents are the most important advisers for schoolchildren when making their study choice, but it can be difficult to approach your child about their study choice process. As a parent, what exactly can you do?

  • Ask motivational questions, discuss stress and offer space for doubts. 
  • Visit open days, take tests and use your network.
  • Guide your child, but leave the choice with them. 
  • Start orientation in time to avoid stress and rush.

Study choice tests

Choosing a course of study is not always easy. Study choice tests can help your child on their way to discovering which programmes suit their interests.

Looking over their shoulder, you might be surprised what kind of answers your child fills in on a study choice test.
