(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Gems Education has become the first company in the UAE to become a Global Growth Company "Partner" as part of the World Economic Forum and is one of just 23 partner companies worldwide. There are only three GGC partner companies in the Middle East.
Gems Education is the only kindergarten-to-Grade 12 private education provider in the world to be a member of the World Economic Forum.
The head of membership at the World Economic Forum, Rodolfo Lara, said: "The World Economic Forum is delighted to have Gems Education as a partner of our Community of Global Growth Companies, among the most dynamic growing companies in the world. As an innovator in the field of education they have proven how the private sector can raise standards and contribute to society as a whole. Given their leading role in K-12 education, we believe that they will make a valuable contribution to the community."
Gems Education founder and chairman Sunny Varkey said: "We are incredibly proud and honoured to become a Global Growth Company partner as part of the World Economic Forum. As a Dubai born brand, which is exporting high quality education to the world, our success would not have been possible had it not been for the support and vision from the UAE government.
We look forward to contributing, in a meaningful way, to discussions relating to the future of education so that every child has an equal opportunity to receive a quality education no matter what their economic, religious or cultural circumstances."
Becoming a GGC partner now means Gems will be invited to attend the World Economic Forum's marquis annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
