Why attend the Africa International Schools Forum & Workshop?

Simply put, there is no other international event in Africa that offers so many benefits for its school counsellors.

We recognise the crucial work counsellors do in advising students across the region, and the need for you to continuously build upon your knowledge, skill set and global network. That’s why this event has been specifically designed to aid your understanding of international admissions practices and make the right kind of contacts around the world.

 

In just three days, you will:
 

  • Meet experienced representatives from International Universities who have been flown into Kenya by BMI/THE specifically for this event, as well as fellow counsellors from across the region.
     

  • Receive the latest updates on undergraduate admissions criteria and application procedures to International Universities.
     

  • Participate in a series of world-class professional development sessions as part of the Times Higher Education Counsellor Accreditation Programme (THE CAP).

The Africa International Schools Forum & Workshop is therefore a must-attend event for gathering new insights on international education, enhancing the way you support students applying overseas, and staying up-to-date on undergraduate admissions.

 

Register your school to participate in the Southeast Asia International Schools Forum & Workshop in Nairobi, Kenya.

This workshop is limited to 50 counsellors across Africa.
