The IBO Director General, Olli-Pekka Heinonen, visited GPIS and EIS-Zayed on Sunday, November 3rd 2024, commending the school's dedication to student empowerment and its impactful IB program implementation.

"It was also inspiring to witness, albeit briefly, the implementation of IB programmes at EIS-Zayed, which you encouraged and supported to ensure IB education is accessible to all those who can benefit from it. This commitment to IB education was also evident in how the parental community at both schools identified the effect this education has had and continues to have on their children." - Olli-Pekka Heinonen, IBO DG
