Since November 2021, Renaissance has been working with the UAE Ministry of Education to improve English literacy standards amongst the country’s public school students through the implementation of the myON digital platform across the UAE’s public primary and secondary schools. Meanwhile, GL Education has extensive experience and deep expertise in helping schools and school groups in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates meet these obligations, providing assessments that enable them to carry out National Agenda testing, as well as training for teachers across the country.
The acquisition of GL Education supports Renaissance’s mission to accelerate students’ growth and learning on an international scale through a suite of integrated solutions. Together with GL Education, Renaissance can reach and impact more students and teachers, delivering personalised teaching solutions that deliver differentiated insights.
