Congrats to the young brother for doing well at A level. With 11 points its however a challenge to land scholarships. You can do more searches on the internet..check government websites and university websites for more information. Be careful of scammers especially those who ask you for funds upfront to process scholarships.
Local Options
The science world is ruling the world! Other fields are watching in disbelief as scientists take over everything! Lawyers are being disrupted by E-Law…Teaching by E-Education…The journalism school is counting losses from Social Media. Bankers are in trouble from E-Banking…In advanced countries they are even replacing humans with robots! In Japan they now have receptionists who are robots…
What are the driving factors?
The world moving at a faster pace…
Competition is stiff and if you dont innovate, you die.
Innovation in most cases means new technology…
Technology means…science subjects!
Technology is replacing traditional jobs…so more job losses.
Even in business, tech startups replacing traditional business power houses such as agriculture, oil and mining.
Agriculture is going tech…Technology is even replacing currencies through Bitcoins…very naughty!
Technology is accelerating globalisation. A company in Zim when sourcing products is now considering buying from China…we saw this during the election period…some had their campaign material sourced from China coz it was cheaper!

What technological trends are shaping the future? They will impact the business landscape and rendering most fields obsolete…
He can go to local colleges and get degrees in medicine, engineering etc but local colleges are not moving fast enough in tandem with the rate of technological developments. So he needs to boost his employability chances by enrolling for foreign qualifications. Jobs may not be available by the time he graduates …so beef this up with entrepreneurship to give him more options.
So your starting point is understanding the direction the world is going and the skills that will be needed. The future is not in knowing obsolete technology like type writers. Research what else top colleges like Havard and Oxford are teaching and compare with local colleges and then plug the gap if one is to attend local colleges.
Hope this helps
