'Education UK' exhibition on November 27'

While the security constraints in the post-9/11 era have made it difficult for students seeking admissions in educational institutions in the United States, countries like UK and Australia appear keen to attract students to their universities and institutions of higher learning.
Taking advantage of the situation, the British Council is organising 'Education UK' exhibitions in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi from November 22 to November 27 to focus on undergraduate studies in the UK, with 57 UK universities participating in the event.
Prior to the exhibition in Karachi, British Council is organising a networking dinner for the exhibitors from UK universities and heads of around 60 local schools, colleges and universities. Press briefings have been arranged with the following representatives on this event:
Professor Dr Atta-ur-Rehman, Chairman, Higher Education Commission, Marcus Gilbert, Director, British Council, Karachi, Ron Rimmer, Head of Mission, British Deputy High Commission, Charlotte M'Doe, International Officer, City University, representing UK institutions, and Dr Graham C.Platts, Principal, Karachi Grammer School, representing local educational institutions.
The 'Education UK' exhibition will be held here on November 27 where British Council is expecting around 5000 students from various local schools, colleges and universities to attend. Generic seminars have also been arranged, which will be conducted throughout the day by representatives from UK universities, University College Admission System (UCAS) and British Deputy High Commission.
According to the Brochure, issued by the British Council here, "Studying overseas is a huge step, and one that will affect your education and career. You need to be sure that you have made the right decisions."
The exhibition will provide up-to-date information about UK courses and institutions. It will allow meeting with representatives from colleges and universities who can tell about their courses, admission requirements, facilities and services. Many subjects have specialist areas of study that the students may not be aware of, especially at degree level.
