Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Standout Educational Technology Companies and Visionaries Shaping the Future of Learning
RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pearl Education, provider of the Student Support Platform used by districts and states to coordinate, monitor, and improve student support programs, today announced that it has been selected as the winner of the “Educational Support System of the Year” award in the 8th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program. The program is conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.
Pearl Education provides the operational and data infrastructure districts need to coordinate student support programs and better understand what is working for students. The Pearl Student Support Platform brings together program operations and actionable insights to help districts manage tutoring, intervention, supplemental instruction, summer learning, and other student support initiatives.
The platform helps districts streamline scheduling, attendance tracking, communication, and program coordination while creating a clearer view of participation, implementation, outcomes, and ROI across schools and providers. By bringing operational and program data together in one place, district leaders can identify where support is being delivered, monitor participation and implementation, and better understand which strategies are producing results.
Beyond technology, Pearl Education partners with districts and states to strengthen how student support programs are designed, implemented, and measured. The company’s team of former educators and program leaders helps organizations establish consistent program structures, reporting frameworks, and operational practices that support long-term accountability and continuous improvement.
“Pearl Education transforms how student support programs are coordinated, understood, and improved,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, EdTech Breakthrough. “Districts face increasing pressure to demonstrate impact while managing limited resources and growing accountability expectations. Pearl helps education leaders move beyond fragmented systems and disconnected reporting by creating a clearer understanding of participation, implementation, and outcomes. The result is stronger visibility into what is happening across programs and better information for making decisions that support student success.”
The EdTech Breakthrough Awards program returns for its 8th annual cycle with its largest and most competitive field yet, drawing a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries. The program is dedicated to recognizing breakthrough educational technology products and companies reshaping how the world learns—in classrooms, campuses, boardrooms, and beyond. Thousands of entries were evaluated across categories spanning student engagement, classroom management, school administration, adaptive learning, STEM education, corporate learning, career preparation, language learning, and more.
“Our approach is grounded in a simple belief: improving student support starts with making it visible,” said John Failla, CEO of Pearl Education. “When district leaders can clearly see participation, implementation, and outcomes across schools, programs, and providers, they can strengthen delivery, replicate what works, and make more informed decisions about future investments. We’re honored to receive this recognition from EdTech Breakthrough and proud to support districts and states as they build stronger, more connected student support systems.”
Pearl Education has supported over 800 districts and has powered more than 130 million minutes of student learning nationwide.
