Education is the transmission of civilization

CETME Bahrain 2006 will be held under the patronage of H.E. Dr. Majeed Bin Ali Al Nuaimi, Minister of Education at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre (BIEC).

CETME 2006, the first of its kind exhibition in Bahrain is expected to boost the kingdom's aspiration to become the educational hub of the region and establish it as a platform for educational services. This unique exhibition will target prospective students preparing for higher education as well as working adults and professionals looking to make a difference.

With development has come a myriad range of choices. The alternatives are so vast that at times students find rather uphill to take the route best suited for them. Exhibitions like CETME 2006 will not only showcase various career options but will also help to guide them to select favorable careers and excel in their chosen paths.

Apart from students looking for higher education, the exhibition will also cater to working adults and professionals looking either to upgrade their skills or make a fresh start. The event will also provide both employers as well as employees with training programs and innovative techniques of upgrading the already existing course of training.

Numerous workshops with education experts are scheduled throughout the 3-day show and is organised in conjunction with the exhibition, generating a greater contribution to the successes. The event will serve as a channel to collect information on education, careers and training opportunities.

Undoubtedly the premier event of its kind, CETME 2006 will bring together numerous educational and business organisations under one roof. With increasing regional awareness and significance of education as well as career we owe a show like CETME 2006 to the people of Bahrain, the GCC and Middle East.

CETME 2006 will witness participation from Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Qatar, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Hungary and the United Kingdom. Further to this, there will be exclusive pavilions representing Switzerland, India, Singapore and Malaysia.

As an additional highlight, CETME 2006 will also reveal the world's largest Mortarboard for the first time ever. The Mortarboard is constructed by the Ministry of Education Technical School under the bi-lateral supervision and cooperation of the organisers to commemorate the debut of CETME 2006.
