Yes, your son can study independently abroad next year if he meets the specific requirements of the destination country and university.

- Some countries, like the UK, allow students aged 4 to 17 to apply for a Child Student visa. - Other countries may have different minimum age restrictions for student visas, which are subject to change. - Universities generally accept gap years, especially when supported by relevant work experience or skill development, but your son should clearly explain how he used this time in his application.
