EDUKEX was held to provide Jordanians looking to study abroad with an opportunity to meet and interact with representatives from some of the UK's top universities. Visitors to the exhibition were given guidance and access to all the information they need in order to apply to study in the UK including details about available degree courses, the application process, important deadlines, entry requirements, and other important details about studying in the UK.
Robin Rickard, British Council Jordan Director stated, "The British educational system is recognised as one of the best in the world and provides students from every corner of the globe with the opportunity to gain qualifications that will kick start their careers and give them the tools to contribute positively to the growth and development of their home countries. This is the first time we hold this exhibition in the Kingdom and the number of people who attended demonstrated the strong appeal there is in Jordan to study in the UK and gain a higher education that is respected and valued worldwide."
