The African School of Economics (ASE) was one of the schools invited to participate at GAB School Awards Education Fair. The event, which celebrated its third edition, congregated representatives from the most prestigious private schools of Benin, took place last August 11, 12 and 13 in Cotonou. Besides having a stand where the ASE’s spokespeople offered detailed information about their programs, the fair counted with two seminars covering topics such as entrepreneurship and job search, and a gala dinner. ASE students Gaspard Dodo, Robinson Toguem, Glwadys Vidogbena and Marjolaine Godja were in charge of ASE representation and they all agreed that the event was a huge success and that it was a great platform to promote the school among those who did not know about the programs offered, especially the new programs in Development Studies, Public Administration and PhD in Economics that will start in September.

The gala dinner in honor of the 22 laureates started with a speech by the Minister of Higher Education, followed by Christian Affagnon CEO of GAB insurance and Guy-Faustin Agnero, president of the organizing committee of “GAB School Awards”. The gala was also an opportunity for the participating schools to introduce themselves; Professor Leonard Wantchekon talked on behalf of ASE and presented the programs currently offered by the school as well as the research activities carried out by IREEP, one of the research institutes hosted by the school.

Still of the gala.
