The time will come when students must make a decision about the path they will take during their years of higher education. Consequently, the 18th Edition of the International Education Show was organized at Expo Centre Sharjah from October 19 to 20, 2022 – where grade 10 students of Far Eastern Private School (Al Shabha) were welcomed with open arms.
Different schools in the UAE attended the exhibition held to assist students of higher grades in considering universities and college courses relating to their field of interest.
Interaction and communication were built as the students roamed around the various booths set up within the area. Each college institution had a mentor who would discuss and give brief details prior to the activities, programs, and courses that could be taken up at that university.
Moreover, brochures and booklets were handed out citing information about the institutional affiliation and what it could offer to individuals wanting a bright future. Not to mention, freebies of different sorts given were one of the things that gratified and amused the high school students.
Despite the huge crowd, FEPSians successfully got a new perspective on the different opportunities that not just the universities and their capabilities could offer.
Alas, the International Education Show ended up being able to help aspiring doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and lawyers – even those with undecided career paths – by obtaining and acquiring information. Indeed, with the right motivation and understanding, anyone with a purpose and a broadened mind will be able to reach their vision at the right time.
