I was extremely happy when the bursary committee accepted my application to grant me the bursary that enabled me to attend the 2015 UKFIET conference that was held at Oxford University. My participation on the conference helped me get the following:
- I was able to see in person distinguished and prominent scientists and professors who I known by their publications and I had a chance to talk to them in person and exchange ideas;
- Many papers were presented and I was able to get many ideas, experiences from people around the world; I got more in depth understanding on informal education, livelihoods and development.
- It was indeed a pleasure and privilege for me to present a paper in one of the world class universities in front of prominent professors, professionals, and different individuals who have enormous experience in field of education, research and development;
I have to take this opportunity to acknowledge the organizing committee for giving me the opportunity to participate on the conference and special thank goes to Sarah Jeffery for wonderful support to facilitate my trip and whole stay in Oxford.
