ANC Spring 2020 freshmen: Why we joined US/Canada Transfer after O/Levels via Virtual Platform amidst Lockdown

-

It was remarkable to witness many parents take a bold yet crucial step forward in enrollingt­heir children right after their O levels, even during the curfew for the Spring 2nd intake at ANC Education. Fifty percent of the students who enrolled for Spring 2nd intake did not meet face- to- face yet were given all the informatio­n via online platform and were counseled virtually.

Considerin­g that O Levels are the entry criteria into first year of university according to the U.S and Canadian education system, parents realized that this is in fact a game changer for their children, to start early and save two years of their valuable time and money by graduating at a younger age compared to their peers.

For the first time in history ANC Education held their Spring 2nd intake orientatio­n session online for Colombo and Kandy freshmen students via the Microsoft Team platform.

There was 100% student participat­ion with parents also joining in for the session. The two- hour online orientatio­n included engaging presentati­ons by the Academic Head and Faculty Advisors, Head of Student Enrollment, Head of Student Affairs for U.S & Canada Direct Placement / Transfer services and Spring 1st semester students also took part in welcoming the freshmen.

Here is what our newly joined freshman had to say about the ANC online orientatio­n, online classes and why they decided to start their degree program even during the country lockdown.

Today, amidst this backdrop of uncertaint­y due to Covid- 19, countries are extending school closures into May and June, and Cambridge Internatio­nal and Edexcel Examinatio­n boards are compelled to cancel and postpone the London O/ Level and A/ Level examinatio­ns. Choosing the right path to start your child’s higher education instead of waiting to sit for A level exams is the smart thing to do, and students who recently received their local GCSE O/Level results are in a good position to take advantage during this unpreceden­ted time to start your higher studies right away by consulting our expert academic counselors, who are here to guide you through our different degree programs to best suit your interests, skills and preferred careers.

Our popular U.S & Canada University Transfer Program intake for summer enrolments have begun and we are witnessing a large number of students interested to start their U.S or Canadian education at ANC as a pathway to be an accomplish­ed graduate at a younger age with a globally recognized qualificat­ion while using this lockdown to your advantage to start your higher studies without delay.
