Gear Education’s Google for Education Cyprus impact
Press Release 11:40 - 02 February 2024
In late 2022, Gear Education, a first-of-its-kind education technology services company based in Cyprus, announced it had joined the Google Cloud Partner Advantage programme becoming the island’s first Google for Education partner. Today, Gear Education shares how Google for Education is making strides in Cyprus.
Google for Education is committed to ongoing innovation in teaching and learning. Part of that commitment is making sure every student and educator has access to tools that create more personal, collaborative, accessible, and safe teaching and learning experiences. Educational institutions can choose to use flexible, secure tools at no cost with Education Fundamentals, or enhanced capabilities with Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, or Education Plus.
Just last week, at the world’s largest education technology event held in London, Gear Education brought together Google for Education and the Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport, and Youth. The meeting was attended by Minister Dr Athena Michaelidou, Head of the European and International Affairs Bureau Dr Yiannis Savvides, Inspector of Primary Education Dr Georgia Pasiardis, Head of the Cypriot Educational Mission UK Maria Loi, along with executives at Google for Education. Google for Education along with local partner, Gear Education, presented the possibilities of teaching and learning with Google for Education and what this could look like for Cyprus education.
