Getex gears up to showcase top academic offerings

DUBAI, April 12, 2016

The latest edition of a leading student recruitment platform in the Middle East and Asia region is set to open tomorrow (April 13) in Dubai, UAE.
 
The three-day Gulf Education and Training Exhibition (Getex) will run until April 15 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. 
 
Held under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of Education, the event will host more than 300 exhibitors from nearly 35 countries, featuring over 2,000 programmes. 
 
Getex will offer infinite opportunities for international education and training providers to interact with regional students and enlighten them about various study options.
 
This year’s edition of Getex will have a new feature with the ‘University Panel Discussion and Q&A Session’ that will be hosted on the show floor and will allow for interaction between students, parents and faculty members in an open forum. 
 
In addition, the Getex Counsellor Forum will host more than 80 regional career guidance counsellors in a closed PD session. 
 
The Getex Counsellors forum includes a series of presentations and workshops intended to engage and assist student counsellors in their role of assessing and advising students on their further study and career choices.
 
Anselm Godinho, managing director, International Conferences and Exhibitions (IC&E), said: “In continuation with its exceptional track record, Getex 2016 always achieves an exceptional year-on-year exhibitor retention rate. It is a result oriented platform for education providers to meet with and provide information to students and their parents. 
 
"The show always generates considerable on-the-spot applications, which go a long way in helping universities achieve their enrolment quotas. This year’s edition will throw the spotlight on industry-specific sectors such as Medicine, Engineering and Finance. 
 
"In addition, Getex 2016 will focus on vocational and applied educational courses to offer students and working learners more avenues to enhance their professional competencies and contribute towards the socio-economic development of the community.” - TradeArabia News Service
