The 9th All-Kazakhstan International Education Fair will be held in February 2012 in Almaty, Astana, Atyrau and a new location Aktau.

Many institutions from countries around the world participated in the AKIEF-2010 and more than 2,500 visitors attended the fairs in the first two cities of Kazakhstan alone.

There has been a growing interest in Kazakhstan for postgraduate, business, and economic programmes. Almaty traditionally is a good market for economics and business management programmes, whilst Astana attracts a different audience of students who have an interest in Law and Political programmes. Rapid economic and social development of Kazakhstan has resulted in an acute need for personnel with advanced western education. This is an important contributing factor to the popularisation of overseas education, particularly in the English-speaking countries.

An average annual GDP growth of over 9% over the last five or six years significantly raised creditworthiness and financial capacity of the population allowing parents to educate their children in commercial universities and colleges. As prices for higher education in Kazakhstan rapidly approach Western levels many parents begin to look overseas at educational destinations for their children.

This Educational Fair will provide an excellent opportunity for all participants to tap into Kazakhstan's student market and gain access to a large number of potential applicants. Kazakhstan awaits you in 2011!
