Over 100 schools across the country are set for the first National Schools Fair, expected to feature exhibitions of educational products, service and road show. A press statement issued by the coordinator, Dr. Vera Kalu, noted that the Fair and tours was conceived as a platform to bring together, parents and prospective students, who are looking for admission for the 2018/2019 academic year.
The statement stated that the organisers had identified seven special considerations, when parents were looking for the right school for their children, to include location, size, educational philosophy, curriculum, faculty, fees and facilities Kalu said the National School Fair, scheduled to commence from May 26 in Lagos, would provide parents with unique opportunities to a one-stop shop, where representatives from over 100 schools would provide both on-site and take-home information.
“These school representatives will be available to answer questions, as well as provide information on the application processes, tuition fees, facilities curricular and extracurricular offerings, class size, and what makes their school unique. “The Fair will take scores of pre-screened schools to four venues across the nation, including Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Abuja and PortHarcourt.
The Fair, expected to be graced by over 5,000 admission-ready students and their parents will present prospects for educational institutions to showcase and market educational opportunities, admit prospective students, create new partnerships/alliances, and boost their school’s brand exposure.” Besides exhibitions, NASFAIR would feature seminars and workshops aimed at updating school owners, administrators, teachers and non-teaching staff with the latest trends that would assist them to manage, administer and teach in their schools.
“School officials also will have the opportunity of meeting and networking with their contemporaries, engage and explore the latestinformation to help administer and grow school.”
