Getex Equipment and Technology was born out of a market need to keep abreast of the latest developments in learning delivery tools. The expo serves as a meeting point for investors and buyers to parley with equipment and service providers.
According to Godinho, educators and learners are realising the benefits of deploying technological solutions as a means of improving the standard of instruction, ensuring higher student participation in the learning process and reducing operational and infrastructure costs.
As a result, more investments are being made in technological tools and methods that will enhance education delivery, knowledge management and control processes in their institutions.
Getex Education Equipment and Supply is providing a unique forum for manufacturers and dealers in education technology and equipment to interact with the region's education providers, professionals and buyers.
Getex Education Equipment and Technology is also hosting the Getex ISTE Global Conference on Technology. The conference programe is under the direction of US based International Society for Technology in Education. The Getex ISTE global forum offers an opportunity for educators, school leaders, and policy makers to interact with and learn from education researchers, thought leaders and expert practitioners from the Gulf region and around the world.
"Technology is transforming the educational landscape, offering new opportunities and challenges for educators and learners alike. It is a powerful tool for facilitating the acquisition, distribution and exchange of information in brand new ways.
"Technology-using educators can generate rich content that can be delivered and interrogated through multiple channels. ISTE believes that the Middle East is on the cusp of widespread changes in ICT-mediated education delivery, and is delighted at the prospect of holding the event in a region where technology uptake cycles and implementation times are highly compressed," said Don Knezek, CEO, ISTE.
The Global Forum on Technology and Innovation in Education will combine two and a half days of intense learning and productive professional networking for delegates and educators across the GCC and beyond, and will explore the increasing role of technology in the educational sector.
