• Panama becomes the 100th country to use


• Promethean’s global distribution has doubled in three years

Dubai - Promethean, a world leader in the rapidly growing global market for interactive educational technology, today announced that, following the installation of its ActivClassroom products in Panama, the total number of countries deploying Promethean technology has reached 100. This is double the number compared to only three years ago and reflects both the pace with which educational systems are introducing interactive learning technology and the rapid global growth of Promethean.

Promethean's ActivClassroom helps bring learning to life and improve engagement and interaction between teachers and students, thereby helping raise learning standards. The ActivClassroom comprises interactive whiteboards (ActivBoard), Learner Response Systems (ActiVote and ActivExpression) and a suite of specialised teaching software (ActivInspire).
 
To date, over 500,000 Promethean ActivBoards have been purchased by schools, bringing the number of students worldwide now being taught with the aid of Promethean technology to over 12 million.   In addition, in 2009 alone, over a million students were introduced to Promethean’s Learner Response Systems, making the Company the largest provider of these systems in the K-12 market during the year[1].

Majeed Sharaf, Vice President Middle East, Promethean, commented: “Today’s announcement is a reflection of the speed with which educational technology is being introduced into classrooms and transforming teaching across the world. Our broad geographical reach means that we are well placed to capitalise on further opportunities in this rapidly growing global market.”
