11/12/24, 11:48 AM Alef Education drives significant student progress with the Alef AI Tutor
student usage and increased engagement per session. A quasi-experimental study also found that
students using the Alef AI Tutor achieved notable improvements, with a 22% growth in performance,
underscoring its effectiveness in fostering academic growth.

Launching the new academic year, the company organised the 3rd edition of the ‘Alef Education

Seminar—Teaching for Tomorrow,’ delivering professional development seminars to educators in Abu
Dhabi and Dubai. The seminars brought together more than 200 teachers, offering them comprehensive
training and workshops to improve their skills in integrating technology into their classrooms.

Highlights of the event included a workshop entitled ‘The Equation of Expression: Merging Literacy and

Mathematics,’ which focussed on integrating literacy principles into mathematics instruction through
subject-specific pedagogy. A workshop entitled ‘Cultivating Emotional Intelligence in the Classroom’
focused on enhancing teachers’ understanding of emotional intelligence and its five critical components.
Through engaging activities and practical examples, educators learnt how to recognise and nurture
these aspects of emotional intelligence in their students, creating an environment that supports their

social and emotional development. In addition, Alef Education also launched 50 new worksheets and 17
new ebooks to its Abjadiyat platform, emphasising its commitment to continuously improving
educational resources.

Geoffrey Alphonso, CEO of Alef Education, said, “Our commitment to improving learning outcomes not

only involves offering innovative solutions but also providing ongoing support and professional
development for teachers. We understand that educators are essential in integrating technology into the
classroom effectively. The seminars in Abu Dhabi and Dubai were designed to empower teachers with
the skills needed to utilise technology effectively, creating a rich and engaging environment for

students.”

Alongside this, a survey conducted by New Century Education (NCE), a progressive school operator
based in Abu Dhabi, revealed high satisfaction levels among students and teachers using the Alef
Platform during the 2023-24 academic year. Students rated the platform an average of 4.50 out of 5,

while teachers rated it 4.14 out of 5, underscoring the positive reception and impact of the platform on
teaching and learning. NCE schools also reported an average of 95.73% monthly active users of the Alef
Platform during the last academic year, with 4,898 students onboarded. Teachers from NCE expressed
satisfaction that real-time data from the Alef Platform on student activities and performance allows for
immediate feedback and support. The features help them address issues as they arise and celebrate

successes immediately, leading to a more responsive and dynamic learning environment.

Alef Education has continued to expand its presence in the UAE education sector, adding nearly 59,000
new private school students in the 2024-25 academic year. These achievements reflect the company’s
commitment to reshape the education landscape in the UAE through AI-powered, personalised learning

solutions.
