Now in its 28th year of business, AFAIRS has been conducting the Premier Schools Exhibition for the last 19 years across 14 cities in India and in 6 international locations. This exhibition was recently concluded in Delhi, Gurgaon, Manipur, Patna, Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot and Lucknow. Over 200 residential and international day schools participated from across India and there was overwhelming response from parents and exhibitors alike.
The next Premier Schools Exhibition is being held in Kolkata on the 14th and 15th of January at the Ice Skating Rink from 11am to 7pm. Over 30 of India’s most affluent legacy schools, prominent international schools and new-age futuristic schools, all with boarding facilities, will showcase at the event in Kolkata, a city where education is the number one priority of every parent.
At the Premier Schools Exhibition, parents can see the future of education in the most simplistic manner through direct interactions with School Principals and Admission Directors, seminars on important topics related to choosing the right school, discussions on decoding different international (IB & Cambridge) and national boards (CBSE, ICSE & WBSEE), the paradigm shift in school education under New Education Policy (NEP), benefits of a boarding school, and other topics. A couple of hours at the fair can help parents decide the right school and avail easy on-the-spot applications and merit-based scholarships.
Premier Schools Exhibition will showcase a great mix of schools right from hills to modern cities, from heritage places to neighbourhood locations. The uniqueness of participating boarding schools lie in the cultural diversity of their students as well as the world-class infrastructure, experienced faculties, personalised learning environments, wide exposure through excursions and outdoor activities, career guidance, college application support and pastoral care that they offer to their students.
Mr. Sanjeev Bolia, Founder & Managing Director of AFAIRS Exhibition and Media, believes that the greatest advantage AFAIRS brings on the table is making the daunting task of sieving through many schools and arriving at the right choice easy for parents. “As a facilitator, we rely on our relationships with key stakeholders at schools and provide authentic and trustworthy information to parents across KG to Class XII.” As per Mr. Vivek Shukla, CEO & Director, the need to stay ahead of the learning curve is critical. “We ensure that we remain updated on any matter pertaining to education in India, so as to bring to parents school-related information which is relevant and authentic. This makes AFAIRS increasingly play the role of a mentor in the education fraternity”.
