Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Opens GETEX 2025 Education Exhibition In Dubai
The Education and Training Exhibition (GETEX 2025) was inaugurated by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This event is recognised as the UAE's most attended education and training exhibition this year. It serves as a prominent platform for education and professional development, uniting local and international academic institutions. The exhibition will continue until 2nd May.
GETEX 2025 offers a comprehensive platform for students and parents to interact with representatives from over 30 countries. Attendees can gather detailed information about universities and programs, receive career counselling, explore international education destinations, understand student visa requirements, and even apply for university admission on the spot.
Sheikh Nahyan highlighted that GETEX 2025 plays a crucial role in empowering students to shape their academic and professional futures. He stated that the exhibition embodies the UAE’s vision of investing in human capital, promoting lifelong learning, and providing an advanced educational environment aligned with global transformations in education and modern technologies.
He further noted that these efforts are part of the UAE’s national agenda under President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's leadership. The aim is to build a knowledge-based society and equip future generations with essential tools for tomorrow. The UAE remains committed to supporting education and preparing a generation capable of advancing national progress through knowledge.
In light of significant changes in global education policies—particularly stricter international student visa regulations in traditional destinations like the UK, US, Australia, and Canada—GETEX highlights alternative study opportunities in Europe, CIS countries, Malaysia, India, and Pakistan. The event offers a diverse mix of conventional, non-traditional, and future-focused academic programs.
The UAE is emerging as a major beneficiary of this global shift due to its flexible university admission policies. Its internationally-aligned quality standards, advanced technology integration in both public and private sectors, outstanding public safety record, and excellent global connectivity make it an increasingly attractive destination for international students.
Exhibition Highlights
Sheikh Nahyan expressed satisfaction with the wide variety of academic and career options showcased at this year’s exhibition. These include traditional disciplines, applied programs, and future-oriented pathways aligned with the evolving job market. This reflects the UAE’s growing status as a global education hub driven by flexible policies, high-quality academic institutions, and a strong commitment to innovation.
GETEX 2025 runs over three days from 30th April to 2nd May in Zabeel Hall 6 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. Entry is free of charge. The event has successfully adapted to the evolving global education landscape over its 41 editions.
"We deeply appreciate the efforts invested in organising this vital exhibition," Sheikh Nahyan continued. "We look forward to it serving as a source of inspiration for every young man and woman striving for excellence in an ever-changing world."
