Toronto Film School appoints Carpa Education as official Representative for Nigeria

Carpa Education has been appointed an official representative of Toronto Film School and Yorkville University in Nigeria. This will allow Nigerian Students to apply, get accepted, and study online in the interim, pending when the lock-down is lifted. Once it’s safe to engage in international travel, students would then be allowed to apply for visas and travel to Canada for on-campus education.

International education, foreign travel, and tourism have drastically reduced student mobility in recent months however this hasn’t deterred parents from seeking high-quality education for their wards. Due to apparent uncertainty occasioned by the recent lock-downs, parents have resorted to online education as a means of keeping their recently graduated high school wards meaningfully engaged during the lock-down.

Due to the recent boom in the Nigerian movie industry, leading to notable blockbusters such as “Omo Ghetto the saga” and “The Wedding Party” and compounded by the recently recorded partnership between Netflix and key players in the Nigerian movie industry, these have led to an upsurge in demand for media related careers such as acting, script writing, stage plays etc. This makes Canadian Education an obvious choice due to its flexibility and relative ease of acceptance of Nigerians.
