Holding equal importance for universities, this engagement allows them to gain a realistic understanding of the school’s environment and the calibre of its students.”

This has been helping our students with additional exposure and enough time to perform their own research and prepare for the choice of course and university. I also wish to congratulate the team of Future Pathways who have been at the core in making this happen in a seamless way.”
