One-stop centre to a bright future
[NATION 7-Jan-2011]
PETALING JAYA: Instead of going from one college to another to collect information on campus open days, why not come to the Star Education Fair 20011 — a one-stop centre for all tertiary education needs — this weekend.
=========================
The above is the heading for the news about the fair. Many parents and students from other states had called in weeks earlier to enquire about the upcoming fair – a one-stop centre for all tertiary education needs – that will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre this weekend.
So if you want to find out about the college, what do you have to do??
Answer: Take a visit to all these colleges and talk to them..That will take weeks.
Wrong... And instead you have to go to the education exhibition, all the good colleges are there to welcome the potential students. There is no need to go from one college to another to collect information on campus open days, why not come to the Star Education Fair 20011 — a one-stop centre for all tertiary education needs — this weekend.
There will be over 550 booths and close to 170 exhibitors offering services and information on a wide range of courses at every level, this year’s fair is set to be even bigger and better. And the visitors are from all over the country. Some may fly all the way from Sabah and Sarawak.
Students will be spoilt for choice as apart from the local universities and colleges, the fair has also attracted institutions from Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Russia, India, Singapore and Indonesia.
The University of Hong Kong, Asia’s top university according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2010, is also among the foreign exhibitors at the fair.
Some of the exhibitors will even invite their current students or graduates to the fair to give parents and students their first-hand account of their learning experience at the participating institutions.
Visitors — students aged 15 and above and working adults in their early 20s — can also take the opportunity to sit for an aptitude test and find out their areas of strength to help them plan their studies and career.
The fair will have a new line-up of experts speaking about career trends and study options in medicine, engineering, accounting, mass communications, architecture and law.
Other highlights include talks on selecting the right pre-university programmes and funding for tertiary education.
The fair will also feature many educational institutions, professional bodies, higher education agencies and education centres, which will provide students and their parents with information on a wide range of courses and options, both locally and abroad.
In Penang, the fair will be held on Feb 19 and Feb 20 at the Penang Interna-tional Sports Arena.
It is open from 11am to 7pm. Admis-sion is free.
I only wish I had this sort of opportunity when I was young, but then Star education Fair is new. Even the Star newspaper is new itself.
