Why take part in the Online Education Fair Africa?
Student mobility has taken a flight in Africa over the past decade. And whilst traditional destinations such as France, the US or UK maintain their popularity, Africans are increasingly attracted to study destinations such as Australia, Russia, Europe, Canada, China, South East Asia and the Middle East. This proves that opportunities abound for institutions worldwide. Join over 26 international exhibitors at this virtual study fair in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Successful Online Recruitment Format
The Online Education Fair in Africa enables students to ask questions and receive live, personal assistance from international recruitment and admissions staff. This personal interaction can turn into a stand-out moment for a student before making the decision of a lifetime.
A unique approach to recruitment events brings those conversations into a new, online space where you can connect and talk directly with African students who are actively in the process of researching and planning their future international studies. Hundreds of schools, colleges and universities all over the world have already used the platform which is generating thousands of live broadcasts and direct conversations between institutions and their future students.
Student Recruitment in Africa
With African GDP rising, its students are more and more eager to increase their employability and advance their career prospects. This results in strong demand for an overseas education. Moreover, the continent’s burgeoning youth populations combined with a challenging education scene at home regarding quality concerns and a lack of available spaces will continue to drive outbound mobility for the foreseeable future.
The Online Education Fair in Africa is carefully targeted at Africa’s best performing economies
- Nigeria is sending more than 70,000 students abroad. And although the US and UK are the main receivers, Malaysia also is gaining in popularity
- Kenyan students also have a preference for the US, UK and Australia but Canada and Turkey are also on the radar. Outbound mobility stands at 3,1% according to Unesco, totaling 13,000 students
- Tanzanian students prefer to go to India or the US., with Canada and the UK gaining ground
- Perhaps a bit surprising that Cuba is the favorite study destination for South African students
