Why The EdTour?
We are excited to welcome you to our home! EdPrograms has experience in managing over 25+ U.S. university recruitment tours in Pakistan since 2012. Join us this Spring for the EdTour – South Asia as we take you on a multi-city tour of Pakistan followed by UAE and Bangladesh.
Be ready to explore the educational landscapes of the three countries by meeting students, parents, and high school counselors.
Our tours offer a mix of school/university visits and Counselor Socials – our exclusive counselor-only networking events. Our YieldEd events give you an opportunity to meet with accepted students and their parents in all cities. Mini College Fairs in some countries will be organized in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy and EducationUSA.
EdTour is run by a group of foodies, so come prepared for a culinary journey across these three countries.
