DIMAPUR:
Nagaland will have the state’s first educational conclave at the Capital Convention Centre in Kohima from May 10, Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) said, on May 7.
The two-day conclave, titled “Investment for Future”, will be organised in collaboration with the state school education, higher education and technical education departments in collaboration with the Investment and Development Authority of Nagaland and the North East Educational Council.
The event will be broadcast in all the districts for the students and parents to watch it live through the MyGov Nagaland YouTube channel. In this regard, the NBSE directed the heads of institutions to coordinate with their respective district education officers and arrange for their students to attend the live broadcast of the event.
Informing the heads of secondary and higher secondary institutions in the state, the NBSE said the education expo intends to connect students seeking admissions, especially in education that is vocational and employment-oriented, with premier colleges or institutes of the country.
It is also aimed at enabling the students to obtain first-hand information about admission to such colleges and institutes and the courses offered, fee structure, free education, scholarships, education loans and options for fellowships abroad, among others, said a release issued by the NBSE on Saturday.
This will not only help overcome the difficulties faced by the students in getting admissions to premier educational institutions of the country but will also attract potential institutions to Nagaland, the state board of education informed.
The expo will also help schools and colleges fine-tune their career counseling, find out post-graduate opportunities outside Nagaland, and guidance on education loans and fellowships, and scholarships.
For Kohima town, the heads of selected schools have been asked to make necessary arrangements for their students of Classes X and XII to attend the expo at the Capital Convention Centre.
