UAE top choice for UK education suppliers

Dubai - The UAE has overtaken the US and Saudi Arabia as the country that UK education suppliers are most interested in exporting to, said British Educational Suppliers Association (Besa) announced today.
The findings come as 83 UK education suppliers have confirmed to exhibit at the Gess Dubai 2019, a leading education conference and exhibition in the region. It is expected that visitors from 92 countries and over 550 brands representing local and international education suppliers will take part in the expo.
The export market, especially within the MENA region, continues to increase in importance and be a major focus for UK companies.
The 2019 UK pavilion is the largest by country and will feature the latest British educational resources and services ranging from learning platforms, assessment software, Steam resources to furniture, school uniforms, EdTech and general education resources.
"Governments, policy-makers and decision-takers in the Middle East increasingly look to the Gess Dubai education exhibition as the place to meet and discuss the latest trends, topics and issues in education in the region. UK suppliers offer quality resources and services that can help address the key challenges and opportunities facing schools in the GCC area," said Caroline Wright, director-general of Besa.
