Islamabad The Roots Ivy International School and College, DHA-1 Campus, in collaboration with IIEU EuroAsia Institute, held a seminar to encourage students to study in Germany, says a press release. The event was open not only to the Roots students and their parents but also to public. Khadija Mushtaq, CEO of the Roots Ivy International School and College, inaugurated the event by welcoming the guests. She shared the vision and philosophy of global education. She highlighted the success of last year’s undergraduate and summer school programmes in Germany. She extended her gratitude to the speakers, Andrew Geddes, director of the IIEU EuroAsia Institute, and his wife. Andrew Geddes introduced Germany as a centre of tradition, modernity and innovation. He gave the attendees an insight into the student and professional life in Germany, giving details of various educational institutes and the courses they offer. He said “Studying in Germany will not only enable students to gain education and skills but also acquire invaluable professional experience offered by most universities in the form of field placements and internships.” He informed students that German universities offer an extensive range of programmes apart from traditional engineering, medicine and dentistry courses. Students can pursue their education in Germany without having to pay any tuition fee, given that they learn the German language. Andrew Geddes informed guests that German taxpayers are required to pay for the education of all students in most German universities and the government aims to have 350,000 students on board from all over the world by 2020. The Roots Ivy International College offers an extensive German language course to all students enabling them to qualify to study in prestigious German universities. Numerous students from Roots Ivy International College have mastered the German language in the O/A levels programmes and are now currently studying in Germany. Thirty-six Rootsians enrolled in top German universities in 2014 and over sixty students went for the summer school programme in July last year.
