The AFED office bearers commended the Education Board of the AFED (EB) for the decision to organize the Fair and believe that it has tremendous advantages to our students, deriving great benefits in terms of academic information, contacts, scholarships opportunities etc.
A total of 50 students attended the Fair (in addition to a few walk-ins) and some feedback was received from these students as well as the exhibitors who put forward their comments/suggestions for EB to implement in future events.
We intend to organize more of such Fairs in future and would urge our community members, especially students and parents to take maximum advantages of such kind of educational events and programs.
