The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology
(MOEST) as well as many of our Bahamian Citizens have had a long standing
relationship with Canada; chiefly through higher education. Many Bahamians have
taken advantage of the quality tertiary education afforded by Canadian
Universities.
For high school seniors, college application
deadlines are fast approaching. The Canadian High Commission in partnership
with the MOEST want to encourage college bound students to “Imagine! Studying
In Canada”, at “Canadian College Night” at SuperClub Breezes on Thursday,
November 20, 2014 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. This forum will provide high school
students and their parents to receive information regarding the Canadian
college process and experience.
Additionally, approximately one hundred (100) college
and university representatives with will be in the Bahamas from the 17th-21st
November, 2014. They will be recruiting students from Nassau, Freeport, Abaco
and other islands. Their visit will climax with the annual “Nassau College
Fair” at Super Clubs Breezes on Thursday, 20th and Friday 21st
November, 2014 from 9am – 3pm.
We are encouraging parents and students to take
advantage of this opportunity as well as the opportunity to possibly secure
scholarships.
The MOEST will continue to focus on fostering strong
relationships with international universities to afford college bound students
the possibility to benefit from scholarship opportunities. We at the MOEST are
doing everything we can to ensure that Education becomes a core value and that
through our various partnerships with colleges and universities our college
bound students are given the best possible chance for success.
