Private education is the theme of two new mini-exhibitions to be launched in Geneva and Lausanne next month.
Called EduKid, the exhibitions will take place on 1 February at the Casino de Montbenon in Lausanne, and 8 February at the Novotel Hotel in Geneva.
Given the huge competition that now exists between local schools, especially within the private sector, these new exhibitions have been set up to help clarify for parents the wide range of options that are now available to families living in this region.
EduKid exhibition manager, Alex Herren, told knowitall.ch, "EduKid is targeted at parents who want the very best for their kids, and who realise that a good education is the key to success when it comes to accessing the world of work. The exhibition will also help parents find alternative solutions for those children who are experiencing difficulties at school."
EduKid will give parents the opportunity to meet representatives from both primary and secondary education, covering:
- Teaching (both day and boarding)
- Learning support
- Language training
- Language courses and exchanges
- Workshops and holiday camps
- Pedagogical specialists
