GETEX Spring 2024 Connects 15,600 Aspiring Students With Top International Educational Institutions - Middle East Events
The event’s success indicates how the UAE acknowledges the transformative power of higher
education in generating opportunities and promoting societal advancement. The UAE’s National
Strategy for Higher Education 2030 aligns with this vision and strives to achieve the highest scientific
and professional education standards, demonstrating the country’s commitment to shaping skilled
generations for the future.

Tanya Mokle, Director of GETEX, stated:“GETEX Spring 2024 was a success in spite of the fact that
over a dozen school visits were cancelled because of the recent floods and inaccessible roads. The
adverse weather conditions hindered normal school operations for the week and made it challenging
for families to attend GETEX. Despite the lower visitor turn-out due to the unexpected weather and
unprecedented after-effects, GETEX experienced high-quality visitors, with many universities satisfied
with admissions achieved during the exhibition.

“As committed organisers of GETEX with the mission to provide our participants with the best possible
access to students, we will provide exhibitors of GETEX Spring 2024 with continued marketing support
leading up to their September student-intake. Additionally, our aim is to facilitate a student-outreach
programme for universities especially focusing on students in the Northern Emirates who were unable
to attend GETEX because of the unprecedented rains and consequent flooding. We take pride in our
University-School relationships and believe that a large number of higher education institutions in the

UAE depend on GETEX as their primary source for student recruitment each year. We will not let them
down,” Mokle, added.

Another UAE-based higher education forerunner reiterated their satisfaction with GETEX 2024 fulfilling
their annual student recruitment drive. Vignesh Unadkat, COO at Thumbay Group, Gulf Medical
University said: “GETEX is a valuable event that enables us to effectively assist applicants, parents,
and other participants within the higher education fraternity. Over the course of three days, the
exhibition provided a structured environment for our conversations, aiding us in better understanding
student queries and providing accurate responses. Alongside the various medical degree courses
offered by all six colleges under Gulf Medical University, this year, we introduced a diverse range of
new courses catering to various interests for studying abroad.”

With several leading educational institutions from around the world attending, GETEX has become the
region’s most prestigious student recruitment event over the past three decades. The latest event’s
success serves as more evidence of the platform’s dedication to promoting educational excellence and
deepening meaningful connections in the shifting educational landscape.
