International education expo offers more choices
Educational organisations from South Africa, Kazakhstan and the Czech Republic will join Hong Kong's International Education Expo for the first time next month to recruit local students.
More than 250 education providers from 16 countries and regions will be at the event on July 6 and 7 at the Convention and Exhibition Centre.
A summer school programme run by Oxford and Cambridge universities will be represented at the exhibition, admitting Hong Kong students for the first time.
Corence Wong, of exhibition organiser Neway International Trade Fairs, said the programme would be recruiting for next year as this year's course was booked out. Wong said it was a two-year course for students over 16 and cost HK$55,000.
The London School of Economics and Political Science will also be holding interviews for its 10-week English programme, aimed at gearing up language skills ahead of going to British universities.
Other courses to be introduced at the expo range from banquet management, nursing, hotel management and tourism.
Wong said there will also be courses from fashion design institutions from Italy, the United States and Singapore because the industry had become increasingly popular in the city.
