Student Fair
Experience the International Education Fair Kenya, an innovative platform dedicated to linking students, parents, and prestigious higher learning institutions. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive showcase of diverse local and international higher education opportunities, empowering informed decision-making. On the agenda are traditional education fairs and high schools visits to the best institutions in Nairobi.
Why take part in the International Education Fair Kenya?
The Education Fair in Nairobi serves as an interactive space where future students and their families can directly engage with a multitude of universities, colleges, business schools, language schools and study abroad organizations. Through this event, participants gain invaluable insights into course offerings, career pathways, campus life, and other essential facets offered by various educational institutions. During the event, students can engage in one on one sessions, discussing program options and scholarship possibilities. Exhibitors will get the opportunity to give presentations about their school (to be booked in advance).
High school visits Nairobi for undergraduate recruitment
To bolster your recruitment efforts, we are taking a limited number of accredited institutions to visit 3 leading private international schools in Nairobi. These exclusive schools have been carefully selected for their quality curriculum and their enthusiasm to proactively prepare their students for studying abroad. At each school, you will participate in an on-campus fair that will directly connect you with senior students, parents and high school counsellors.
Kenya’s student recruitment market
- Kenya hosts 40 universities
- With local universities in Kenya unable to accommodate all students, an increasing number are exploring opportunities to study abroad, driven by aspirations to enhance their career prospects post-graduation.
- Recent data from University World News reveals that 57% of surveyed Kenyan students express a preference for foreign universities over local ones. Notably, government statistics indicate a rising trend in the issuance of student visas to Kenyan nationals.
