Networking Event for Student Recruitment
The International Schools Forum in Africa stands as Sub-Saharan Africa’s premier event for global universities seeking connections with counselors from the region’s top private and international schools. Held in Kenya and attracting high school counselors from over 10 African countries, this forum provides a prime opportunity to network with influential school contacts.
Why take part in the International Schools Forum Africa?
The African continent is unparalleled in size and diversity, boasting over 50 countries, 1,000+ languages, and a population surpassing 1.4 billion. Recognized as the ultimate frontier for recruiters, it presents unparalleled opportunities. According to a recent article from university world news, Sub Saharan African students are among the most mobile students in the world
However, seizing these opportunities entails overcoming challenges, including logistical hurdles and time constraints associated with visiting key cities and schools. While virtual recruitment and online marketing efforts can bolster brand visibility, nothing compares to in-person interactions. Enhance your brand visibility among aspiring international students and lay the groundwork for future study abroad endeavors. Combine this event with the education fair and high school visits in Nairobi to maximize the efficiency of your visit.
