Alef Education has placed a strong emphasis on securing contract extensions with key clients.
The recent three-year contract extension with ADEK provides significant revenue visibility until
2033, provisioning for a minimum of 80,000 students with a fixed fee per student. In addition
to these efforts, Alef Education is actively exploring opportunities to expand its offerings
beyond the current grades served. The goal is to increase its student base by providing its core
platform to a broader range of educational levels.

contracts in the last quarter of 2024: one with Al Ain Football Club for AED 3.8 million and
another with Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority for AED 5.1 million over the life of their
contracts. The Company also expanded into Morocco, supporting the Education Reform Plan
2022-2026, where it signed a contract to deliver an innovative Arabic language program to
50,000 students and 2,500 teachers across 300 schools. In addition, an MOU was signed with
Egyptian publishing house Nahdet Misr—one of the largest in the region—to collaborate across
several key regions in the GCC, Levant and North Africa.

share linguistic, cultural, and pedagogical similarities to its core UAE market. The Company’s
business development teams are also actively pursuing opportunities in Egypt and Saudi
Arabia, positioning Alef Education for further rapid expansion in these key markets.
