The exhibition hopes to bring good values to all the stake holders of Future Minds that include students aspiring for higher education and their parents at the top.
Focused on Higher Education: Future Minds, identifies and promotes the notion that education is the foundation on which a successful career can be built on. This is in contrast to seeking job opportunities without a solid academic foundation. To support this, the expo has streamlined various categories of higher education and eliminated distractions. The exhibition is highly focused on the education aspect of building careers with the strong belief that a solid foundation with high quality academic qualifications is the key to success.
Family based decision making: Future Minds will concentrate on the family based theme so that students visiting the exhibition will benefit from the maturity, experience and consensus of a parent in choosing a higher education path. Future Minds encourages both parents and the students to visit the expo together, explore, review and weigh the available options which would then prepare them well, to commit to the optimal choice. The private higher education fraternity is lined up and is ready to offer the best of their recognized and affordable graduate and post graduate programmes at the exhibition.
Southern students benefit: It is a known fact that the Southern province produces high rankers in the Advanced Level examinations. However Galle and the Southern province as a whole are restricted in access to resources for career planning. Future Minds fills this gap and brings a synergetic forum to the Southern capital. Students in major cities in the Southern province including Galle and Matara have this not to be missed opportunity coming in September. The time is right to ponder higher education for the students of the South with Future Minds Galle 2016.
Future Minds invites families with students aspiring for higher education to visit Future Mind 2016 in their new journey of a “Brand new decade” and benefit from the vast opportunities present at the expo. Further information may be found
