The UAE Minister of Education, His Excellency Dr Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, paid a visit to the Microsoft stand at the ongoing Global Educational Supplies and Solutions exhibition and conference (GESS Dubai 2022) at the Dubai World Trade Centre on Tuesday (DWTC).

Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi met with Microsoft representatives and was briefed on the company’s most recent education-focused technologies, including HoloLens 2 and Reading Progress, a free tool built into Microsoft Teams that supports and tracks reading fluency. The stand also featured the most recent Minecraft: Education Edition, which has become an indispensable teaching tool in classrooms across the region in recent years, and now includes features that support collaboration, assessment, coding, and more.

A select group of partners, including Classera, Creative Technology Solutions (CTS), Gamalearn, Hevolus Innovation, and Human Logic, will join Microsoft at the 2022 edition of GESS Dubai. Microsoft is collaborating closely with these partners to launch a new solution that will support the region’s digital transformation of teaching and learning.
