OVER 7,000 Nigerian students have been offered admission into schools abroad through Global Education Counseling (GEC) in the last 14 years.

Meanwhile, about eight students graduated penultimate week, from its Management Education Training (MET) centre in Lagos to study at Debreceen University in Hungary.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony in Lagos, Chief Executive Officer, GEC, Mr. Theo Theodorou, said that the programme has guaranteed over 7000 admissions but 2,000 admissions were into its partner universities in the UK, Canada, Europe, US, Malaysia, among others.

He said, “We are working hard to develop young skills and for them to become independent, to grow up and be able to face the challenges ahead of them. Their exposure to our university partners has allowed them to interact with them and hear first hand what they will expect at their chosen universities.

“The challenges we face in Nigeria do make us all focused and determined to succeed. This is reflected by the sound academic delivery of the pragramme to guide the wards to a successful outcome, overcoming the day-to-day challenges that they have faced such as lack of electricity, traffic,” he said.

On her part, Registrar, GEC, Mrs. Amaka Enweluani, disclosed that the programmes offered at GEC MET include: International Degree Foundation;  International Medical Foundation; International Pre-Master’s; Cambridge Advanced Level and International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) programs.
