Raffles to join regional and local exhibitors at Male’ Youth Vision education fair

Raffles Education Corporation has said it will be among a number of groups looking to promote their services to Maldivian students at the 2011 Youth Vision Exhibition to be hosted in Male’ between April 7 to 9.

The attendance at the event of the company, which claims to operate as one of the Asia Pacific region’s largest education providers – running 38 colleges in 14 countries – will coincide with a meeting between Raffles and the Maldivian Qualification Authority (MQA) to ensure closer regulative compliance with authorities in the country.

“Realising the need for quality abroad education for Maldivian students, Raffles has decided to participate in the major education exhibition to provide the on-site consultation for potential students and their parents,” the company stated.

Representatives from the company will join with other regional and local education suppliers like Maldives-based Cyryx College at the Youth Vision 2011 Expo in Male’s Dharubaaruge exhibition hall to detail various education opportunities available to local students.

According to Raffles, 1000 to 1500 Maldivian students are estimated to be involved in higher education courses at present, a number it believes offers significant opportunity when considering the total national population of 270,000 people.

The education supplier stated that Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Australia and Egypt were believed to be the most popular destinations for Maldivians opting to study abroad.
