From September, students from the United Arab Emirates will benefit from the programming learning platform created by the Wrocław-Rzeszów startup ChallengeRocket. For now, the project will be piloted in several schools.

Polish scientists managed to beat nearly 600 competitors from around the world and enter into cooperation with the Dubai Future Foundation founded by sheikhs and the governmental agency KHDA, which is responsible for the development of private education in Dubai. The creators of the platform are pointing out that private schools today in the United Arab Emirates constitute over 50 percent of the market, and according to estimates by the Boston Consulting Group in 2023 it will be soon over 60 percent.

Acceleration director at Dubai Future Foundation Saeed Al Falasi believes that the proposal of the Polish startup is a proof of the great possibilities of using modern technologies in the teaching process. – The joint initiative of the Dubai Future Foundation, KHDA and ChallengeRocket proves how much importance we attach to accelerating the development of our education system.
