7/1/25, 1:41 PM UAE: GEMS launches school education consultancy - Aletihad News Center

“GSM empowers partners to quickly deploy fit-for-purpose schools – be they British, American, International

Baccalaureate (IB), Indian or local curriculum – that meet the highest international standards while reflecting
community needs,” the statement said.

At a virtual event to mark the global launch, Robert Tarn CBE, Managing Director of GSM, said: “We’re working with

partners who want more than just good schools – they want schools that set benchmarks. GSM brings the full force of

the GEMS ecosystem to the table – from outstanding educators and global best practice to fully costed, turnkey
models.”

He added: “Our partners often have the vision, the site, and the capital – what they need is deep educational
expertise. That’s where GSM comes in. We’ve done the thinking, built the model, and can be ready to open a high-

impact school – with the right team, systems and students – in as little as 12 months.”

GSM offers adaptable solutions for both new schools and existing school enhancement projects. The model supports

a wide spectrum of needs—from premium institutions in capital cities to affordable schools in underserved
communities—while customising delivery to local cultural, regulatory, and financial contexts.

Sunny Varkey, Chairman and Founder of GEMS Education, said: “Every child deserves access to world-class
education, no matter where they are. GSM is how we share our legacy, our expertise, and our belief in education’s

power to change lives with partners who share our vision. Together, we will build schools that shape not only futures,

but nations.”

GEMS said GSM is already in advanced discussions across eight global markets, with interest continuing to grow.

The consultancy offers partners access to GEMS’ extensive recruitment network, teacher training platforms, digital
learning systems, and global procurement advantages.
