within one of the most exciting education markets.
Alef Education’s participation at the Learn KSA conference highlights its commitment to equipping students
with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age aligning with the Saudi Vision 2030 goals and its
Human Capital Development Plan. Building on this vision, Alef Education signed a contract with Knowledge
Towers School, a leading educational institution in Riyadh, to deliver personalised student learning
experiences through AI-powered solutions. Alef Education’s Saudi Arabia based team is dedicated to building
successful partnerships in the Kingdom, further strengthening and expanding its presence across the region.
The Learn KSA conference aimed to provide a platform that unites the world’s brightest minds in education,
fostering collaboration and inspiring positive change. The inaugural event took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
one of the largest education markets in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. It brought together
educators, industry leaders, and policymakers to explore innovative strategies to enhance educational
outcomes through integrating advanced technologies.
The EdTech company also showcased its innovative solutions that leverage AI, machine learning, and big
data to enhance personalised learning experiences during the two-day event. In addition, Alef Education
unveiled Miqyas Al Dhad, an innovative data-driven framework designed to improve the literacy skills of
Arabic speakers across the Arab world. This first-of-its-kind Arabic language measurement framework is a
partnership between Alef Education and MetaMetrics®, the US-based developer of the renowned Lexile®
Framework for Reading.
Chief Growth Officer Will Lock took part in two panel discussions as part of the company’s participation in the
event. The first was entitled ‘Global Journey, Local Roots’, where he explored the integration of technology
into education and how it equips students with essential skills, helping them thrive in an increasingly
globalised world. The second dialogue, entitled ‘Does Artificial Intelligence Pass the Test? Assessment in the
Age of AI’ explored how AI-powered solutions, including products developed by Alef Education, are
transforming the assessment process by improving the accuracy of assessments, providing real-time
feedback, and personalising learning experiences to better meet the needs of students and educators.
Will Lock said, “We are delighted to have participated in Learn KSA to foster dialogue on the future of
education in the region. By showcasing innovative solutions and engaging in meaningful discussions at such
events, we aim to inspire stakeholders to embrace digital tools that enhance classroom experiences and
prepare learners for the challenges of tomorrow.”
Learn KSA also featured a workshop by Eyad Darawsheh, General Manager of Miqyas Al Dhad, entitled
‘Enhancing Arabic Literacy: A Data-Driven Framework for Educators and Policymakers – Miqyas Al Dhad.’
