Findadmission introduces ‘News Feed’ to help admission seekers

Findadmission, Africa’s leading online platform for students seeking admissions abroad, has launched a News Feed that enhances information dissemination about tertiary institutions across the world.
The News Feed, which is similar to Facebook and LinkedIn News Feed, is a one-stop-shop for all African students aiming to further their education in other countries.

Many students from across Africa long for education abroad but have been going about it the wrong way due to lack of right information, hence, many have missed admission, while only a few are able to get into their desired schools.

According to the 2016 UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the number of African students seeking higher education abroad grew from 343,370 (in 2006) to 427,311 (in 2014) constituting about 24% growth in students’ mobility abroad. From 2013 to 2014 alone, it rose by 9%. This trend shows that more and more Africans are seeking admission abroad every year.
Through the Findadmission News Feed, Universities from different countries around the world will be able to post information, updates and news about their institution while students from Africa will be able to comment, like or share the post among themselves.

Findadmission, which has been the bridge between teeming African students and schools in the US, UK, Canada and every other part of the world added the new feature to ensure that African students can interact with their choice schools before application to increase their chances of admission.

Speaking on the new feature, Findadmission’s founder and President, Folabi Obembe, said information to be posted by institutions would include and not limited to: Information about their school; Admission requirements; Scholarship opportunities; News on African students doing well in their institution; and information about their visit to Africa. According to him, representatives of some of the institutions abroad do come to African countries but the students don’t get to know about it.

“This is a new feature added to Findadmission platform to ensure students in Africa have unfettered access to the wealth of study opportunities available worldwide and also have the opportunity to network with admission officers in different institutions around the world on their palm,” he said.
Obembe noted that Findadmission is not a social media platform but a platform that allow students from Africa to submit an application to institutions around the world that ensures that the universities they want also want them, giving them 95% more chance of acceptance.

“We added these features because we realise that is already been used on Facebook but due to the fact that Facebook is overcrowded with so many information, it becomes very difficult for prospective students to gain access to such information. Having a News feed that is dedicated to studying abroad is very important as it gives more targeted information to those that need it most” Obembe said.
