Branislav Nolin, a Grammar School student who spent 10 months in the USA as an exchange FLEX student organised an interesting presentation for Class 8 students on 3 October.
First, he introduced the FLEX programme funded by the US Department of State, explained the criteria and methods of appying and testing. He also shared a few tips on how to complete the application.
Then, he talked about his host family and friends he met in the USA, his school, the town he lived in, voluntary work and his trip around the USA.
A classroom full of students showed interest in the American laws, school subjects, and after school activities.
This was an excellent opportunity for Class 8 students to find out more about the American way of life and education system from a person who has recently experienced it. Several of them expressed their willingness to apply for the Scholarship in the next round.
