EducationCity voted Global Education Supplier of the Year at the prestigious GESS Education Awards 2014

EducationCity, leading provider of e-learning resources for primary schools, is celebrating having scooped the Global Education Supplier of the Year Award at the prestigious Gulf Educational Supplies & Solutions Education Awards (GESS Education Awards) 2014 in Dubai.

In their inaugural year and hosted during the Gulf Educational Supplies and Solutions (GESS) show, the Middle East’s premiere educational exhibition, the GESS Education Awards have been set up to recognise outstanding educators and educational suppliers and solutions providers. The aim of these new awards is to be recognised throughout the sector as the accolade of excellence and to raise educational product and service standards throughout the industry.

"Winning the Global Education Supplier of the Year Award at GESS is huge for EducationCity,” said Richard Whalley, Managing Director of EducationCity. “GESS is the biggest education show in the Middle East, and this award is in recognition of all aspects of our product and company. It is a great accolade to win and we look forward to working with our international partners as we continue to grow and help children and teachers around the world."

EducationCity is already used by over 15,500 schools in over 60 countries worldwide, with over four million of its activities accessed every week. Its interactive and engaging tools and curriculum-mapped content are intuitive, easy to use and ideal for lesson planning.

The product has exciting times ahead too, as it has recently unveiled a major upgrade plan due for September 2014. This will be free for all customers and includes a refreshed look and feel, a sleeker, more modern platform, accessibility via mobile devices to allow teachers and students to access EducationCity anytime, anywhere, as well as new content.

EducationCity is also a finalist in the ERA Awards 2014 in the Exporter of the Year category and winner of the Bett Awards 2014 Exhibition Stand of the Year. At Bett 2014 it was also a finalist in the ICT Exporter of the Year and International Digital Education Resource categories.
