Think Canada Fair, Africa’s largest educational fair promoting Canadian education, has announced a national essay competition for senior high school and sixth-form college students across Nigeria and Ghana.
This initiative aims to provide a platform for young minds to shape the future of education while showcasing their creative approaches to contemporary issues.
Participants have the opportunity to win up to $1,500 in scholarships and other exciting prizes.
The 2024 Essay Competition invites final year and penultimate high school students, sixth-form college students, and recent graduates (Graduation Year 2023) to participate.
This year’s theme, “Future Trends in Education Industry: Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainability,” encourages students to delve into topics such as the impact of technology on education and art, sustainability, corporate responsibility, and strategies for supporting students’ mental health and well-being.
“We believe that Canada’s diversity is its greatest strength,” said Eunice Baba, Event Coordinator of Think Canada Fair. “This essay competition is an opportunity for students to express their views on how multiculturalism shapes our national identity and to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about our country’s future.”
On the registration process, Eunice noted, “Essays must be submitted through the Think Canada Fair website by August 19, 2024. Entries should be no longer than 1,000 words and will be judged based on originality, coherence, adherence to the theme, and overall writing quality by a panel of esteemed educators, writers, and community leaders.”
Think Canada Fair has been organising educational fairs in major cities in Nigeria and Ghana since 2014, where Canadian high schools, colleges, and universities engage with students and parents interested in studying abroad in Canada. This essay competition further enhances their commitment to fostering educational excellence and multicultural dialogue in the region.
