The annual event in Colombo will be the 12th such event and it is expected to attract 52 institutions. "This offers visitors a lot of choice and options. There will be representatives from England, Scotland and Wales and between them they will be offering diplomas, undergraduate and postgraduate programs" Education Services Manager said. Over 1,500 students choose UK as the destination for their higher education to obtain a world-class qualification.
