Nigerian students continue to make remarkable strides in British schools, earning praise for their outstanding performances. This was highlighted in a statement by Mark Brooks Education, in collaboration with the UK’s Department for Business and Trade, ahead of an educational exhibition scheduled for January 16–19, 2025, in Abuja and Ikoyi, Lagos.
The event celebrates 17 years of connecting Nigerian families with top-notch educational opportunities in the UK. Representatives from leading British schools spoke highly of the academic and leadership prowess of Nigerian students.
Dr. Michael Truss, Head of Concord College in Shropshire, shared glowing remarks:
“Nigerian students will absolutely thrive and have a fantastic time here at Concord. Our experience is that they do very, very well, achieving top A-level grades and securing places at leading universities.”
Diana Cree from Lancing College also praised Nigerian students for their dedication and drive:
“They come with charm, warmth, and determination. Three Nigerian upper-sixth students have risen to leadership roles and excelled in academics, sports, and debating.”
Henrietta Lightwood from Cardiff Sixth Form College echoed similar sentiments, noting:
“Nigerians contribute so much to school life, and they are attracted to Cardiff for its academic results and access to top universities. For example, one student from Nigeria has recently progressed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while another is now studying engineering at Cambridge.”
Mark Brooks, Founder of Mark Brooks Education, emphasized the importance of the upcoming exhibition for Nigerian families:
“These events are an ideal opportunity for parents to discover how they can invest in an outstanding education for their children. Many schools demonstrate a strong commitment to Nigerian families, with some even having Nigerian students as their head boy or head girl in recent years.”
The exhibition invites families to explore schools known for their excellent academic results, supportive boarding facilities, and a welcoming environment for Nigerian students. It will also highlight the incredible accomplishments of Nigerian students in academics, sports, and leadership.
Participating UK schools include Aldro Preparatory School, Bromsgrove School, Cardiff Sixth Form College, Concord College, Glenalmond College, Lancing College, Malvern St James Girls’ School, and Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate, among others.
This event is a testament to the fruitful partnership between Nigerian families and the UK’s renowned educational institutions, fostering a bright future for Nigerian students.
The Students Forum Nigeria serves as the ultimate hub for Nigerian students, fostering academic growth, social engagement, and knowledge sharing.
