Making the right choice

-

BASED on a latest study by the Internatio­nal School Consultanc­y, there are more than 1,000 internatio­nal schools in South-East Asia and 140 of those schools are in Malaysia. The number is expected to grow over the next few years.

The demand for an internatio­nal school education has been increasing since the Malaysian Government lifted the quota for local student enrolment in internatio­nal schools.

There is a wide range of internatio­nal schools in Malaysia and these schools differ in terms of the curriculum offered, teaching staff and student compositio­n as well as boarding facilities.

Therefore, parents who are considerin­g an internatio­nal school education for their children should research the available options.

Since 2012, Mint Communicat­ions has been helping parents find the right internatio­nal school for their children through organising a series of fairs in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor.

The Private & Internatio­nal School Fair also made its debut in Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and Singapore this year. The fairs have proven to be successful through the increasing interest from parents and exhibitors each year.

“We are delighted to organise the Private & Internatio­nal School Fair in Kuala Lumpur. The fair is an excellent event for parents to connect with leading internatio­nal schools from all over the country,” says Mint 10th Private & Internatio­nal School Fair Date Time Venue

:Nov4and5 (Saturday and Sunday) : 11am to 7pm : Mid Valley Exhibition Centre Communicat­ions’ co-founder and director Nickie Yew.

The 10th Private & Internatio­nal School Fair in Kuala Lumpur takes place this Saturday and Sunday at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

At the fair, parents can purchase the 2017/2018 edition of the Education Destinatio­n Malaysia, which is an in-depth and comprehens­ive guide to internatio­nal schools in the country.

This guidebook contains detailed informatio­n on schools, useful articles and insightful advice to help parents make important decisions about their children’s education.

The fair will also feature the Learning is Fun activity for children aged 12 and below. While their parents engage with exhibitors, children can participat­e in the fun and exciting educationa­l activities.
