2/27/26, 10:55 AM Alef Education Expands AI Learning in UAE Private Schools
The deployment includes Alef Platform, the company’s core digital learning system, along with Arabic-
focused products Abjadiyat and Arabits in selected schools. Alef Platform is designed to combine
curriculum delivery, assessment, and exam preparation in one system, while linking students, teachers,
and parents through real-time academic data. Abjadiyat focuses on Arabic literacy for native speakers,
and Arabits is intended to support non-native speakers through interactive language instruction tailored
to skill level.
Performance Evidence
Alef is building its private-school expansion on performance data from its work in the UAE’s public
education system. According to the company, students classified under ESSA Tier 2 in Abu Dhabi
recorded a 12.1 percent improvement in final exam performance when using the Alef Platform, while
users of Alef Pathways showed a 5.67 percent academic gain. Those results are central to Alef’s case
that its model can deliver measurable impact across different school systems and learner profiles.
Strategic Significance
The expansion also aligns with wider national goals to modernize education, strengthen academic
outcomes, and prepare students for a more digital economy. By moving deeper into the private sector,
Alef is extending a model that has already gained traction in government schools and adapting it for a
broader range of curricula and institutional structures. The agreements suggest that private school
operators are increasingly willing to invest in AI-based tools that combine personalized learning with
actionable classroom data.
Founded in 2016 and listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange under the symbol ALEFEDT, Alef
Education says it now serves more than 1.8 million students and 80,000 educators across 18,000 schools
in the UAE, Indonesia, and Morocco. Its latest UAE partnerships underscore how regional education
providers are shifting from pilot-stage experimentation toward larger-scale digital adoption, particularly
in platforms that promise both personalization and measurable academic gains. For the private schools
involved, the rollout represents not only a technology upgrade, but also a bet that AI-supported
instruction can become a core part of mainstream K-12 learning.
