These companies are primarily large educational institutions and organizations in the Middle East, focusing on K-12 education, higher education, and related administrative programs. The list includes universities, ministries of education, and private school networks. Most of these entities are well-established, with several founded in the mid to late 20th century.
GEMS Education provides K-12 private education, while Jordan University of Science and Technology offers diverse undergraduate and graduate programs. The Israeli Ministry of Education oversees the education system in Israel, and the Lebanese University is Lebanon's sole public higher learning institution. A common pattern is the strong presence of Turkish educational organizations, with Istanbul being a frequent headquarters city.

Tamtam finds the decision-makers at every company on a list like this one, with verified emails, phone numbers and the buying signals that tell you when to reach out.
How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
