We are pleased to announce the 6th All-Kazakhstan International Education Fair to be held in February in Almaty, Astana and a new destination for 2009, Atirau.
Fifty six institutions from many countries participated in the AKIEF-2008 and more than 2,500 visitors attended the fairs in the two cities of Kazakhstan.
Speedy economic and social development of Kazakhstan has resulted in an acute need for personnel with advanced western education. This is an important contributing factor to the popularization of overseas education, particularly in the English-speaking countries.
An average annual GDP growth of over 9% over last five or six years significantly raised creditworthiness and financial capacity of the population allowing parents to educate their children in commercial universities and colleges. As prices for higher education in Kazakhstan rapidly approach Western levels many parents begin to look overseas at educational destinations for their children.
This Fair will provide an excellent opportunity for all participants to tap into Kazakhstan's student market and gain access to a large number of potential applicants.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Kazakhstan!
