EdTour – Virtual Edition – Fall 2025

EdTour – Virtual Edition was organised initially due to the travel restrictions that were in place during COVID-19. Since its inception, it has evolved into a highly successful event that allows students to engage with various university representatives while enjoying the comfort of their homes. The EdTour – Virtual Edition (Fall 2025) aims to provide a productive and engaging event for participating institutions who wish to recruit or explore the student body across 28 countries virtually. With our increasing presence across multiple continents, EdTour-Virtual Edition can be your opportunity to globalize and diversify your student community.  

With the success of seven past EdTour Virtual editions where we had the participation from 70+ higher education institutions, with a one day event planned for undergraduate and another day event for graduate recruitment. We will be replicating the same format and expect more students and HEIs to be part of the Fall 2025 edition.

Each participating higher education institution (HEI) will have its virtual booth for students to join in small groups throughout the event. All sessions and activities will be live. HEIs and students have the option to share their video, audio, or they can just text to interact.

As we continue to conduct on – site EdTours, we have successfully explored different regions and expanded our reach beyond previous boundaries. This has enabled us to anticipate a diverse range of participants for EdTour – VE, including individuals from regions like South Asia, North Africa, East Africa, MENA, Central Asia and beyond.

Considering such enlightening facts about these regions will surely help you in understanding the important nature of this event:

• Africa, with its staggering population of 1.2 billion, stands as the second most populous continent.
• 60% of the African population is under the age of 25, with a projection of a 42% global youth population by 2030.
• North Africa alone has 30 million students eligible for university both undergraduate and graduate.
• South Asia being the most populous continent with close to 1.5 billion people has half of its population under the age of 25.
• South Asia is the top region for international students with over 100 million university eligible students interested in studying abroad.
