Dr Ahmed Al-Athari, the Director General of PAAET, said: “Technology is a critical component in ensuring that we deliver the highest quality educational experience to our students, while enabling them, and their teachers, to connect at their convenience. Microsoft offers the best solution for our needs with Office 365, which will empower our faculty, students and staff with greater access to essential functions.”

Charles Nahas, Microsoft Kuwait’s General Manager, said: “Microsoft is committed to supporting the education sector, and Office 365 is proving to be very beneficial for both students and faculty. As a technology enabler, Microsoft works with educational institutions to provide the technology tools that can transform the experience. With the mix of applications and tools in Office 365, PAAET students and faculty will find solutions that will help them be more efficient and effective in their roles”.

“Our engagement with the Authority has given us improved insights into the specific requirements of public organisations, and how technology can help create efficiencies. We believe that this solution set can be effectively translated into other usage scenarios with other organisations and authorities, directly contributing to the technological advancement of the public sector in Kuwait.” Nahas added.

Microsoft takes a holistic and long-term approach to supporting education and is working closely with governments, educators, parents, students and NGOs in Kuwait to open up access to technology that can improve the quality of teaching as well as the learning experience for students of all ages.
