core foundation and the growing momentum of our non-school B2B/B2G, private schools and

international initiatives. Alef Education maintained sector-leading profitability, while advancing key
strategic priorities such as the launch of Miqyas Al Dhad, the expansion of its Pathways and Arabic
assessment offerings, and the progress of its international portfolio in markets like Indonesia and

Senegal. Supported by a debt-free balance sheet, strong cash flows, and disciplined execution, Alef
Education is well positioned to scale its impact globally and continue redefining the K-12 learning
experience through AI-powered solutions.”
