The 13th edition of the Ghana Higher Education Fair dubbed ‘Free SHS Edition’ has ended in the five regions of the north.

In all, the event was held two days each in all regional capitals of the Northern, Upper East, Upper West, North East and Savannah Regions, reaching close to five thousand students who have received relevant information on tertiary education relating to courses, fees, programs suitability and career paths.

The exhibition exercise offered Ghanaian tertiary institutions the opportunity to showcase their programmes and facilities.

University of Education-Winneba, Ghana Technology University College, University of Cape Coast, Koforidua Technical University, Valley View University, Regentropfen College of Applied Sciences, DAAD, University for Professional Studies (UPSA) Tamale Technical University, Sunyani Technical University and located at Kansoe-Namoo in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region and the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAG) were among institutions that occupied stands to showcase their programs and relevant career information.

The exhibition event is organised annually by I-TEXON Ghana, a private organisation in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service (GES). However, this year’s edition was also supported by the Free Senior High School Secretariat.

Programmes Coordinator for I-TEXON Ghana, Kwaku Kwarteng Yeboah explained in an interview that the fair has in the past been held in the then three regions of the north, the creation of additional two regions added to a high number of students reached since the newly created regions were also captured and held in Nalerigu in the North East region and Damongo in the Savannah region.

“It has been largely a successful event for us and this year, we have had to come to places we haven’t been before like Nalerigu and Damongo. Reason being that these are new regions and we have to get closer to Senior High Schools in those regions to ensure they benefit from this year’s fair. Fortunately, this year’s fair is a special one because it is the free SHS edition and so we are expecting a lot of these students to enter the tertiary institutions and so they would need to know what happening and what they should be expecting. The tertiary institutions are brought close to them to give then the information the students need to aid them make appropriate choices,” he told journalists.
