Alef Education has expanded its footprint in the UAE’s private education market through new

agreements with five school groups that will bring its artificial intelligence-driven learning tools to more
than 33,000 students. The Abu Dhabi-based education technology company said the rollout will span 28
campuses, marking one of its largest private-sector expansions in the country to date. The move
strengthens Alef’s position beyond public education and signals growing demand among private

operators for data-led classroom technology.

Scope of the Agreements

The partnerships cover Al Shola Schools Group, Al Hikma Schools Group, International Community
Schools, Victoria International Schools, and Athena Group. Under the agreements, these operators will

implement a mix of Alef’s digital learning products, supported by teacher training and live performance
insights designed to help schools track progress more closely. The initiative is aimed at improving

teaching consistency and student outcomes while giving educators faster visibility into learning gaps.

School Group Breakdown

Athena Group will account for the largest share of the rollout, with more than 12,500 students across
nine schools set to use the company’s platforms. Al Shola Group will introduce the solutions to more
than 6,700 students in five schools, while Al Hikma Group will deploy the technology across four

schools for nearly 5,700 students. International Community Schools will extend the services to more
than 5,000 students across six schools, and Victoria International Schools will provide access to about
3,000 students.
