Testimonial: “The pupils who were taught in the business economics class were really enriched. From my personal viewpoint the interaction with graduates from oversees brings the reality of life, work, and people of different cultures. The dynamics that went with this will have made an impression on the students in a way that is really not measurable but the impact and memory of this will give them the confidence to apply themselves to their studies with greater hope.”
