The Exhibition was formally launched in a ceremony in Lahore on Saturday. Richard Weyers, Director Punjab, British Council said, "The British Council is delighted to be leading the way in providing virtual opportunities for students to connect with UK universities. We have a record breaking 32 UK universities involved in this year's exhibition and we hope this will benefit many thousands of potential students in Pakistan."
Head of EUK in Pakistan Nadia Kamran said, "Virtual exhibitions are a flexible and sustainable approach to provide quality service to Pakistani students as anyone can be part of them from any location. The British Council is the first in Pakistan to pioneer such an exhibition!"
Last year, over 19,200 visits were made to the www.Educationuk.org.pk website over a course of two weeks - this year a much higher volume is anticipated. The exhibition includes live chat sessions with not only UK university representatives but also with the British Council's expert IELTS and English teams to advice prospective students.-PR
