28 international schools participate in ENAA education fair

Nigeria, Ghana, others to access US$63.2m scholars programme

Twenty eight international schools have participated as exhibitors in this year’s Europe, North America, Africa &Asia (ENAA) fair organised by ALTS Education Advisory, which took place in Lagos and Abuja.

The education fair in both cities- Lagos and Abuja, sought to give Nigerians access to representatives of some of the world’s most reputable schools abroad.

Some of the visiting international schools includes; La Garenne and Brillamont both of Switzerland, Lincoln Academy USA, Albert College of Canada and Swiss International School from Dubai among others.

“ALTS is supporting these events to help ensure that the company’s mission of looking after the interests of Nigerian students around the world is best served,” said Anthonia Sawyerr, founder of ALTS said.

“The good turnout at the Lagos event despite heavy rains in Lagos was testimony to how seriously Nigerian parents and students take education,” Sawyerr noted.

We hope to support the ENAA 2020 Education Fair, she said while adding that the organisation will also get more participation of Nigerian schools.

“Nigerian education has a lot to offer the world and we are keen to see Nigeria also become an education destination,” she said.

The events attracted school proprietors and school heads from Nigeria’s Grange School, Edgewood School, Noble Hall School Abuja, Lagoon School, Atlantic Hall, St Saviours Schools (Ikoyi & Yaba), Louisville School and British International School.

Families in attendance were treated to interesting seminars and presentations on various educational topics and had a chance to network around education space.

According to Sawyerr, with over the 10 years of operation, ALTS Education Advisory has guided many through what might sometimes be quite a confusing option.

“Many Nigerian clients have studied abroad and have returned to Nigeria to make and are still making positive and impactful contributions to Nigerian society and the nation,” she added.
