The K-12 education market in the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region is anticipated to thrive over the forecast period. Governments of the GCC union are taking initiatives such as mandating students to purchase laptops or desktops, in an attempt to emerge as the prominent educational hubs globally. 

The regional population has rapidly embraced EdTech tools, while it also highlights the disparity in the adoption of these tools between privileged and economically backward countries having limited access to some of the latest technologies.

To overcome this, regional entrepreneurs are focusing on transforming education by integrating technology into their solutions to make them relevant, accessible, and digital for the younger generation of learners.
