Abu Dhabi’s Alef Education has signed a contract with Saudi Arabia’s Knowledge Towers School, a leading educational institution in Riyadh, to deliver personalised learning experiences through AI-powered solutions.
This was part of Alef Education’s participation at the first Learn KSA conference, which was held in Riyadh, from 6-7 October. During the conference, the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange-listed company highlighted the transformative power of AI-driven solutions in reshaping the education landscape.
Alef Education’s participation at the Learn KSA conference underscores its commitment to equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age, aligning with the Saudi Vision 2030 goals and its Human Capital Development Plan.
The inaugural Learn KSA conference aimed to provide a platform that unites the world’s brightest minds in education, fostering collaboration and inspiring positive change. It brought together educators, industry leaders, and policymakers to explore innovative strategies to enhance educational outcomes.
During the two-day event, Alef Education showcased its innovative solutions, which leverage AI, machine learning, and big data to enhance personalised learning experiences.
The edtech company also unveiled Miqyas Al Dhad, an innovative data-driven framework designed to improve the literacy skills of Arabic speakers. This first-of-its-kind Arabic language measurement framework is a partnership between Alef Education and MetaMetrics, the US-based developer of the renowned Lexile Framework for Reading.
Will Lock, Alef Education’s Chief Growth Officer, took part in two panel discussions – ‘Global Journey, Local Roots’, where he explored the integration of technology into education and how it equips students with essential skills, and ‘Does Artificial Intelligence Pass the Test? Assessment in the Age of AI’, in which the panel discussed how AI-powered solutions, including products developed by Alef Education, are transforming the assessment process and personalising learning experiences to meet the modern needs of students and educators.
Lock commented: “We are delighted to have participated in Learn KSA to foster dialogue on the future of education in the region. By showcasing innovative solutions and engaging in meaningful discussions at such events, we aim to inspire stakeholders to embrace digital tools that enhance classroom experiences and prepare learners for the challenges of tomorrow.”
Eyad Darawsheh, General Manager of Miqyas Al Dhad, hosted a workshop ‘Enhancing Arabic Literacy: A Data-Driven Framework for Educators and Policymakers – Miqyas Al Dhad.’ He explained the development of the framework, potential future applications, and its ability to transform Arabic literacy across the Arab world.
The initiative aims to assist education leaders, policymakers, curriculum and assessment developers, teachers and publishers make informed, data-driven decisions to improve Arabic literacy.
