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.
