Paddy Jansen, COO of Globeducate said:

“We are coming up to a full year since we started working in Cyprus and we have been overwhelmed with the welcome we have had – not only from our partners PASCAL Education but also the Cypriot and international Community in the country.  We now have schools in 10 countries and are looking forward to working with our new colleagues in Cyprus. We chose to invest in PASCAL Education as during our conversations with the management team of PASCAL Education it quickly transpired that we had many shared values and goals. It has been a dynamic and important step in the future growth for both organisations.”
