Microsoft extends education partnerships
Middle East: Wednesday, January 30 - 2008 at 08:47
During his visit to the Government Leaders Forum - Arabia in Abu Dhabi, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates announced a number of partnerships aimed at driving IT development in Arabian countries. These include strategic partnerships between the Mohammed Bin Rashid Foundation and Microsoft to promote IT research via a 'knowledge platform', and with the Dubai Cares organization to establish a further education programme for teachers and parents. Microsoft will also provide free email, messaging and online storage facilities to 650,000 high-school students in Oman in an arrangement similar to one the company recently set up with the Jordanian Universities Network.
