Learning Expo 2010 is being held from Tuesday to Friday between 8.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. at the Hilton Malta Spinola Suite and foyer. It will enable all those wishing to pursue their education, from 5th Form students to graduates, and adults considering a return to studying, with a view of the wealth of learning opportunities available. Entrance is free.
The expo will include interactive stands featuring audiovisual material and professional guidance counsellors prepared to answer questions and point those seeking advice in the right direction.
Educational organisations will present a variety of real life career options for people to choose from, whether in terms of a profession, a skill or a craft.
A spokesman for the Education Ministry, which is organising the event, said "Learning Expo 2010 is not about just gathering information but also about preparing teachers and students to get the maximum benefit from this experience."
