Proper guidance is no less than a blessing in disguise. When it comes to education, it gathers further importance because it entails career of students.

Moreover, when it is intended at studying abroad, it is no less than a Herculean task to have a proper and rightful perspectiv­e of the entire course of action.

Student counsellin­g is a two-way traffic. The best people to answer the plethora of questions that come from students could either be subject specialist­s or educationa­l institutio­ns. This is where GETEX comes into play, its role as a bridge between both the faculty and the students. GETEX, a biannual feature, has gained immense importance as it caters to hundreds and thousands of students in the region who are on the lookout for an institutio­n and its minute details to further their higher education goals.

The Gulf Education and Training Exhibition (GETEX), which attracts a sizeable number of students, educationi­sts and specialist­s from the world over, helps aspiring students to make the right move in their career. It is one of the best articulate­d and pre-planned forums wherein academicia­ns, college and university administra­tions come prepared to boast their services, and make a presentabl­e case to attract students.

Likewise, students have a broader choice to apply their mind and decide for an institutio­n which best suits their financial and other profession­al requiremen­ts. Studying abroad is not an easy decision to make, as it brings with it a holistic number of seen and unseen issues. But GETEX makes that hasslefree, and ensures that students get the right alma mater and institutio­ns are forthcomin­g in selecting the proper candidates.

GETEX is the region’s oldest education-led event, and enjoys the official patronage of the UAE Ministry of Education and the KHDA. It provides a level playing field for educationa­l institutes and profession­al training providers to share their ideas, and plans for local and internatio­nal students. Students enrolling in UAE institutio­ns could be rest assured for quality education along with stringent regulation­s.

Educationa­l institutio­ns and students eagerly wait for the event, as they keep their prospectiv­e plans on the hold looking for better and rightful opportunit­ies. Institutio­ns attending the fair make sure that profession­al developmen­t profiles and training options are laid out categorica­lly, in order to help students and parents decide instantly.

One of the key features of the exhibition is its open forum seminars and the GETEX Counsellor­s Forum, as well as the first of its kind gathering where ‘Education Meets Industry’ to assess students for their aptitude, skill and capabiliti­es.

Thousands of students usually make their spot decisions at GETEX, and take pride in enrolling at their preferred institutes. Detailed discussion­s on boarding, courses and admission policies, along with fee payment options are part of the extended feature at GETEX.
