Dubai, UAE - Soar, an Arc Skills product for schools, has been nominated for two global education awards in the categories of Startup Company of the Year and Innovation Products.
Soar is an international school programme for children in kindergarten up to grade 12 that nurtures up to forty-seven life and career-based values, behaviours, skills, and competencies.
The programme has helped over 3,000 children since its launch in 2016 across nine different countries, including UAE, America, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and India.
"Over the course of three years, we have heard from teachers and parents across the world about the remarkable impact Soar has had in children's confidence, self-awareness and social abilities. To be recognised by GESS for two awards is a remarkable testament to our commitment in enhancing both the educational curriculum and the lives of students," said Mithun Kamath, CEO and Board Director of Arc Skills.
The GESS Awards highlights and rewards the quality and diversity of educational products, resources, services and people, as well as the best educational establishments and the most dedicated members of the teaching profession. The awards are broken down into two sections those for Suppliers and/or distributors, and those for Teachers, Schools and Educational Professionals. Finalists are selected by a diverse group of experienced judges and, from that group of finalists, one winner from each category is awarded.
Honorees will be announced on February 27, 2019, at the prestigious Global Educational Supplies and Solutions (GESS) Education Awards event in Dubai, UAE. For more information about the GESS Awards, visit www.gessawards.com.
