Presenting the Education for Life+ (EFL+) programme at MENA Innovation 2019, Shadi Bakhour <\/strong>said: \u201cThere is a surge in the Middle East education sector with governments placing emphasis on the introduction of new programmes to help drive efficiencies. We have studied the region\u2019s education market closely and MENA Innovation 2019 is an ideal platform for us to introduce the Education for Life+ (EFL+) programme. For Canon Middle East, education will continue to be an important area of growth and we will invest in creating and developing new programmes to support the vision and growth of local governments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation for Life+ (EFL+) is also extended to the development of life skills amongst the region\u2019s youth, enabling their continued development and professional growth\u201d; he further added.<\/p>\n

As per recent reports, the total number of students in GCC education sector is projected to reach 14.5 million in 2022, (from 12.9 million in 2017) owing to the rise in population of school and college age students.<\/p>\n
