Inside the GCC International Schools Market: Intelligence & Supplier Strategies

About

The GCC is one of the most commercially significant regions in international education, with more than 1,800 international schools teaching close to two million students and generating over US$14 billion in annual fee income.

Join this webinar to hear from Danielle Fanton, Head of Commercial Sales at ISC Research, who will open with a data-led overview of the market across the region, covering trends in enrolment and demand, and the growing influence of major school groups. She will then be joined by a panel of school leaders to discuss procurement priorities, regulatory considerations, and how school groups in particular select and work with suppliers.

The discussion is tailored for organisations already active in the GCC or interested in entering it, and the session will deliver intelligence to inform your business development and partnership strategies.
