The event is also to allow parents and students not to waste so much time on deciding which programme choice and institutions available.

Ms. Owusu said the programme was targeted at both private and public senior high schools.

Ms. Valerie Dakubo, a Science Two student of the Archbishop Porter Girl's Senior High School, said the exposure to Higher Education Fair had informed her about the various career opportunities.
