# Top 50 Education Administration Programs companies in the Middle East

Tamtam tracks 142 Education Administration Programs companies headquartered in the Middle East. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by GEMS Education, Doğa Okulları and Jordan University of Science and Technology. Their median headcount is 883. Half of them were founded in 1996 or later. The most common headquarters are Istanbul (21), Ankara (4) and Dubai (3).

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.

## 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.
