AL Bakri said in a press statement after opening Edutrac Oman 2018 that organising this event comes at a suitable time for the Sultanate and the region in light of the changes and needs of the labour market, and the challenges of the fourth Industrial Revolution.
He pointed out that the opportunities showcased by universities, colleges and higher training centres in the exhibition enable the students to choose the right course demanded by the labour market.
The three-day exhibition, which is attended by more than 110 local and international higher education institutions, as well as training institutes and higher education service offices, is a bridge that connects international and local universities from all over the world and students interested in studying.
