GETEX Spring 2024 connects 15,600 aspiring students with top international educational institutions
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.
