EducationInvestor Global’s webinar series continued with a live one-on-one interview with Shaun Robison, chief executive of BBD Education.

Robison, whose education consultancy is based in Dubai, discussed how organisations across the Middle East have responded to the Covid-19 crisis, with a particular focus on the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia – the two largest education markets in the GCC. In conversation with Josh O’Neill, editor of EducationInvestor Global, Robison considered what lessons have been learnt since the pandemic began and how they can be applied by education providers across the world. He also looked towards the post-pandemic future, illuminating potential changes across markets that are largely privatised and heavily reliant on private investment and international participation
