Nigerian Secondary Schools Exhibition in UK to Drive Education Tourism

Following the success of the maiden edition of Top Nigerian Private Secondary School UK Education Fair and the request from parents for more options of schools, the 2nd edition of the Fair has been scheduled to hold on July 16 and 17, at the University Square, Stratford, London.

According to the organisers of the Fair, the UK Education Fair would bring together Nigerian parents living in the UK, to the University Square in Stratford where they would be meeting with top Nigerian Secondary School representatives. The top Secondary Schools, including top Federal Government Schools, would be exhibiting and showcasing their facilities, success stories and interviewing children for a place in their schools.

The Chief Executive Officer of Brand Edge Ltd, (organisers of the Fair), Mr. Femi Akinwunmi said the rationale for the fair, was to offer an easier platform for some “parents in UK who wanted to send their children to Nigeria during those formative years (secondary school years) due to the legal implications in the UK of impeding African Values. The kids would be reoriented and reconnected to their roots and values”.

Parents, he observed, were often at cross roads in selecting the appropriate schools for their children and wards, as “they do not know the schools that have the right facilities, offer British or mixed curriculum, with other essential facilities like security, sports, music, social services etc”.

He stated that “top Nigerian secondary schools had over the years invested in human resources from around the world to create an inclusive model of extra-ordinary high standard blended with great value to mould children into young adults ready to achieve boundless heights in various higher institutions around the world”.
