ALTS Education Advisory Nigeria is set to hold its October 2019 Europe, North America, Africa (ENAA) Boarding School Fair in Abuja and Lagos respectively.
The fair with the theme ‘Playing to the Strengths and Talents of Nigeria Students’ will provide the right guidance and advice to students and parents seeking admission into foreign boarding schools.
“Many Nigerians choose to go to study abroad. Without the right guidance and advice, the benefits sought may be lost,” said Anthonia Sawyerr, managing partner, ALTS in a statement made available to BusinessDay.
“So, we are organising our October fair to provide guidance to parents who have already decided independently to send their children to school abroad.”
“The fair will provide parents the needed information about such an important decision, by giving them the opportunity for direct discussion with representatives from schools from abroad,” she further said.
She stated that the visiting schools will run seminars for teachers and students to provide the opportunity to connect with Nigerian schools and share best practices in education.
She added that the event will be attended by diplomats and school proprietors as well as educators and families.
“Some of the world’s finest boarding schools will be present at the ENNA fair and Nigerian families attending will get the opportunity to talk with prospective next school abroad,” Sawyer said.
She urged parents to attend to ensure that their investments made on their children’s schooling aboard is based on fact and not hearsay.
“The school and country that be the right fit for the child must play to the strengths of the parents,” she added.
The fair is scheduled to hold at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja on the 9th of October and at Radisson Blu in Lagos on the 12th of October, 2019.
