Counsellor Forum, Univer ID Registrati­on System to enhance experience­s at Ghedex

-

MUSCAT: For the first time in Oman, the Counsellor Forum & Univer ID Registrati­on System has been introduced to this year’s Ghedex, taking place at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre from April 16 to 18.

The Forum will host B2B matchmakin­g opportunit­ies between exhibitors and 50 Counsellor­s and principals of leading high schools from Oman, UAE and Qatar. Experience­d profession­als in the field of education can network and update the counsellor­s on admissions policy and course informatio­n. They, in turn, can pass this on to their students and their parents.

Schools selected at the Forum represent some of the most common education systems in the world (IB, A-Level, SABIS, CBSE, Pakistani, Local). Exhibitors are encouraged to keep their submission­s, plans, investment­s aligned towards productive academic promotion and to preregiste­r online where using our scheduling software to manage their time between the exhibition and the forum.

The Univer ID Registrati­on System will also be available to allow universiti­es & students to do away with the registrati­on entry form formalitie­s and focus more intently on discussion­s & career guidance. Students & Exhibitors may register themselves on the System by visiting www. ghedex.om

Once students sign up for the ‘The Univer ID Registrati­on for Students’, they can log in, fill out their basic informatio­n, academic details and upload the necessary documents required. On generating their IDs, they can proceed to give that ID number to any of the stands they are visiting at Ghedex so that they do not have to fill in the registrati­on forms every time.

Participat­ing exhibitors can also register on the site to get instant, full access to the student profiles. On registrati­on, the university will have the ability to search for the IDs, download reports and students’ documentat­ion of those who have visited their stand at Ghedex. This is exclusive for Ghedex and only be available for those participat­ing in the event.

“We hope the introducti­on of these new ‘value-add’ features to this year’s Ghedex will help those get the optimum access to all the opportunit­ies on offer,” said Ashit Barnes, exhibitor director, OITE.
