Ecosystem delivery (platforms & institutions)

The UAE complements its curriculum reform with a robust ecosystem of digital platforms and

institutions. Alef Education provides adaptive learning tools, Madrasa offers free Arabized STEM
content, and MBZUAI builds advanced talent pipelines. Together, these initiatives bridge K-12 and

higher education, ensuring that AI education is accessible, contextualized, and scalable, while

promoting innovation through public-private collaboration.

Outcome orientation

Rather than focusing only on inputs like devices or platforms, the UAE measures learning outcomes.
EdTech deployments are evaluated for measurable improvements in student performance, such as

narrowing gaps in mathematics and literacy. By emphasizing results, the UAE avoids “EdTech hype”

and builds a culture of evidence-based innovation, ensuring that AI integration genuinely enhances
teaching and learning quality.
