INTERACTIVE EDUCATION exhibitions are set to connect Nigerian families with boarding schools in the United Kingdom through a programme scheduled for next month in Abuja and Lagos.
JKNewsMedia.com reports that organisers said the events, held under UK Boarding Week, will showcase specific boarding school programmes, admission requirements and learning opportunities in the United Kingdom.
The initiative is being organised by Mark Brooks Education, led by Mark Brooks, described as a UK Department for Business and Trade Export Champion with over 17 years of experience advising Nigerian families.
A statement issued last Wednesday outlined the learning opportunities to be presented at the exhibition.
“This programme enables parents and students to meet school heads, explore academic pathways and gain first hand insight into British boarding education.
“Families attending will be able to speak directly with schools offering outstanding academic results, strong pastoral care and vibrant co-curricular programmes, all within welcoming international communities,” Brooks said.
He listed highlights to include school visits, student presentations, leadership workshops and parent engagement sessions in Abuja and Lagos.
The programme will begin in Abuja at the Transcorp Hilton on March 4 and continue in Lagos on March 7 at The George Hotel, Ikoyi.
Participating schools include Bromsgrove School, Canford School, Cardiff Sixth Form College, Dean Close School, Downside School, Lancing College, Milton Abbey School, Stamford School and Wellington School.
JKNewsMedia.com reports that the head of Wellington School, Alex Battison, said Nigerian families have long been part of the school’s international community.
