Oracle Academy participated this year in GESS Dubai 2024, and was proud to be honored with the GESS Award for the best higher education resource of the year.
As one of the leading platforms in education, for 17 years, GESS Dubai has been the focal point for education in the Middle East, showcasing cutting-edge products and innovative solutions for today’s teaching. With its extensive conference program, interactive workshops, and prestigious awards ceremony, the event provides unmatched opportunities for professional development, networking, and celebrating excellence in education worldwide.
Oracle Academy believes that technology can be a powerful equalizer. The recognition award was presented to Oracle Academy in appreciation of its continuous effort in fostering technology for education in the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East region. Ola Ramadan, the Oracle Academy Program Manager for the Middle East, said, “This award reflects the program’s dedication to transforming education through technology and recognizes the innovative approach of combining technology with education to create a more inclusive and forward-thinking learning environment for students across the Middle East.”
Oracle Academy had a stand in the three-day exhibition, and staff had the chance to interact one-on-one with educators from around the world. These personal conversations were invaluable, allowing us to address specific questions, share experiences, and explore how Oracle Academy’s free resources could support their teaching goals.
It was exciting to showcase how Oracle’s tools, such as Oracle APEX for app development, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for hands-on learning, and other educational resources, can enhance the learning experience and help students all around the world to gain the skills they need for the technology careers of today and the future.
Senior Director Oracle Academy EMEA, Danny Gooris, stated, “The award highlights the success of Oracle’s philanthropic education initiative, Oracle Academy, which has provided students and educators with valuable education and tools in areas such as database, cloud, programming, and AI technology. By offering practical knowledge and resources, Oracle Academy helps students gain skills that are in demand and prepares them for future careers. Oracle Academy continues Oracle’s strong commitment to education, which spans more than 25 years and is a part of the organization’s legacy.”
