Alef, a privately held education technology company, has launched its technology-enabled education solution at a school in Abu Dhabi. More than 240 students began an education journey, which is a complete end-to-end mainstream form of formal classroom-based academic learning.
Saleh Al-Hashemi, Alef’s CEO, said: “Alef’s launch today is the start of a journey to bring about an overhaul of the status quo to usher in a new paradigm in education. Given the rate at which technology and industry continue to evolve, it is unclear what future workplaces will look like, let alone understand the skills required of their workforces.”
He added: “And as every sector of society undergoes some form of 21st century revolution, the education sector cannot, and should not, get left behind. The education sector feeds every part of industry and culture, and in a world where the image of the future changes so rapidly, education must be at the heart of our global technological journey.”
Alef is “an innovative and immersive multi-lingual learning-science framework with in-house hypermedia content powered by cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence.”
Its design adopts natural language processing, advanced data science, and technology-enhanced content to deliver a system that engages students and encourages self-learning.
Alef fundamentally evolves the role of the teacher in the 21st century classroom, shifting the education process from the familiar teacher-centered model to a learner-centered data-driven model.
Alef’s technology carefully synchronizes with a school’s curriculum enabling students to learn at their own pace and have access anywhere and anytime.
Alef said it is pioneering selected strategies in the interactions between every student and teacher to foster genuine empathy and create an inclusive learning environment. The company’s model recognizes the importance of change management at any school using the technology as being one of the most critical factors for its sustained success.
Alef’s team includes more than 300 leading technology and education experts, who collectively hold 20 PhDs and 25 masters degrees between them. Alef aims to have operations in other GCC countries, Egypt and India in the near future.
