ITWORX Education has built this connected gateway solution which is getting deployed in many parts of the Middle East. In Fact, in Qatar alone you have 125,000 students and 15,000 teachers, who are really changing how content is delivered and more importantly how the effectiveness is measured. That means you are changing outcomes.”“Thanks for Hatem Sallam, for the company's pursuit in building education solutions that can have a broad impact on societies worldwide, and for being part of the Microsoft eco-system that is transforming this sector,” Nadella added.
