<p id="eyz768rgnQxz">GEMS Education, one of the oldest and largest private K-12 education providers, today unveiled GR8 School, a global-first model combining hyper-personalised AI-powered learning with specially trained teachers (human mentors) and real-world expertise. Drawing on almost seven decades of educational experience, more than 10,000 educators and school leaders, and pathways that have taken GEMS graduates to more than 2,000 universities across 71 countries, including all eight Ivy League universities in the US and all 24 Russell Group universities and colleges in the UK, GEMS brings significant scale, experience and educational expertise to the new model.</p>
<p id="eEmJhTaGsiDu">Since its origin in 1959, GEMS has pioneered education in the UAE, from offering international curricula across schools at a range of price points to developing new models such as GEMS School of Research and Innovation (SRI). More than 500,000 GEMS alumni have gone on to become unicorn founders, entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, scientists, academics, creatives and leaders across industries, with graduates progressing to the world’s leading universities. Its mission has remained constant: <em>to see the potential in every child and evolve education to help them realise it. </em></p>
<p id="eK13GN-A_oYf">GR8 is the latest expression of that legacy of innovation and educational firsts. It will initially operate as a “school within a school”, creating a distinct pathway within existing school communities.</p>
<p id="eWQ_bcfzApF6">The 8 October unveiling comes as Dubai’s leadership explores new approaches to education and how future school models can respond to changing student needs and the world of work.</p>
<p id="e8GGVg7bbQJ5"><strong>What makes GR8 School a pioneering education model?</strong></p>
<p id="eKTGYMoU4d2K">The GR8 School will bring together three connected parts of a student’s education:</p>
<p id="exE3mVnQWFAm"><strong>Hyper-personalised learning: </strong>Students use AI-powered learning that allows them to work through core academic material at their own pace, rather than every student following a fixed timetable. The learning system will continually assess a student’s progress, identifying what they have mastered, where they need additional support, and where they are ready to be challenged further.</p>
<p id="eiKEXCLvKIQT"><strong>World-class teachers (Human Mentors): </strong>Real-time data provided by the adaptive learning systems empower teachers to be able to spend most of their time on high-impact 1:1 support instead of teaching an entire class at the same time, as well as on delivering all practical aspects of the curriculum. Teachers will remain responsible for academic rigour while also providing the inspiration, mentorship and human connection central to a child’s growth.</p>
<p id="exnQl8OHscL4"><strong>Real-world pathways: </strong>Working backwards from each student’s interests and possible future ambitions, GR8 will connect students with relevant specialists, industry experts, practitioners, projects and experiences that help turn what they learn into what they can do. Alongside academic study, the model will place deliberate emphasis on critical thinking, communication, teamwork, financial literacy, and practical life skills, while creating direct pathways from education to further study, entrepreneurship and future employment.</p>
<p id="eq1gECB-vNES">Together, these people will form the <strong>GR8 Learning Collective</strong> – a wider human team of teachers, specialists, practitioners bringing industry and experts closer to students.</p>
<p id="eiqcnH2EEm5n"><strong>A different learning day:</strong> The GR8 model is being designed around a more flexible use of time. Students will combine asynchronous, AI-enabled self-paced learning with approximately 90 minutes to two hours of synchronous, teacher-led learning, supported by real-world experts and globally recognised specialists. This will be complemented by a further two to three hours of enhanced enrichment programmes, creating more time for deeper specialist learning, projects, practical application, collaboration, creativity, sport, the arts and other areas of personal development.</p>
<p id="eezHdaZCcD68">Transformative education should meet the needs of the learners where they are and give families meaningful choice. GR8 is being developed to operate across different GEMS school segments and price points. While final fees will vary by school, market and model and will be confirmed closer to launch, current indicative annual fee ranges are approximately US$8,000–10,000 for affordable offerings and US$20,000–40,000 for premium offerings.</p>
<p id="egx_Np6DySyc">GR8 builds on principles already embedded across GEMS – personalised support, strong teacher-student relationships, character, critical thinking and learning beyond the classroom – as well as existing enrichment programmes and opportunities, bringing them together in a more focused and structured model.</p>
<p id="eBC5dnARiLHm">It will offer families a distinctive new choice, designed for students who may thrive in a more personalised, flexible and independently driven learning environment.</p>
<p id="e6CpXD0Cxrzd"><strong><em>The visionary behind the model, Sunny Varkey, Chairman and Founder of GEMS Education, said:</em></strong></p>
<p id="eZRmcA38cpfQ"><em>“For almost seven decades, we have evolved continually because the world our children are growing into keeps evolving. Throughout that journey one thing has never changed: the teacher has remained at the heart of a child’s learning and growth. A teacher provides inspiration, encouragement, judgement and human connection. That relationship remains fundamental.</em></p>
<p id="eT4HdmR61t-4"><em>“Today, artificial intelligence is changing how we learn and work, but the answer cannot simply be to put more technology into classrooms. We have to ask a bigger question: if we were designing education for young people today, knowing how rapidly the world around them is changing, what would we do differently?</em></p>
<p id="efqNRsg40WL_"><em>“GR8 is our answer to that question. It starts with the individual child and asks what combination of technology, great teachers, industry experts and real-industry experiences will help that young person achieve academically and discover what they could become.</em></p>
<p id="e1YIRNYQMwPy"><em>“GR8 is not for everyone, nor is it intended to be. No single model of education is right for every child. We are making this pathway available to all our families, but we expect it will appeal to a select group of students who are ready for greater independence, personalisation and ownership of their learning. For the right student, we believe it can be transformative.</em></p>
<p id="e82s905QfIiT"><em>“Technology can help us understand and personalise how a child learns. But education is, and will always remain, deeply human. Our ambition with GR8 is to bring many worlds together around the learner.</em></p>
<p id="eQrtcwVx_GZr"><em>“We want young people to leave school with excellent qualifications, but also with something more: the confidence to apply what they know, the judgement to think for themselves, and the skills, experiences and relationships that can help them turn their potential into possibility.”</em></p>
<p id="eDPi_6YL7mRu">The first GR8 School will soft launch in January 2027, with GEMS using the interim period to continue developing and testing the systems behind the model, including its learning technology, academic model, teacher and guide roles, and network of specialist and industry expertise, with further details to be announced closer to launch.</p>

<p id="eONzuYBFvSl">The launch comes as the UAE accelerates its AI agenda, with a target of becoming a global leader in AI by 2031, while the broader GCC is committing significant investment towards AI-led economic transformation. As businesses move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, the demand is growing for senior leaders who can translate AI investments into strategic decisions, business outcomes and organisational change.</p>
<p id="eOqM1I2FiOc">Ranked #23 globally, #1 in Asia, and #1 in India for Executive Education as per the Financial Times Executive Education Open Rankings 2026, IIM Ahmedabad brings its full academic rigour and legacy to the Gulf at a moment when AI-ready leadership has become a boardroom priority.</p>
<p id="ecc2KF-bYn6">Spanning 6 terms, the programme combines in-person weekend classes with a 7-day immersive residency at IIM Ahmedabad&#8217;s Ahmedabad campus and an international immersion, followed by a faculty-supervised Executive Capstone Project to make it extremely industry-aligned. The curriculum places participants in consequential, real-world decision-making situations, developing the cross-functional judgment and enterprise-wide perspective required to lead at scale. Programme completion also opens the door to the IIM Ahmedabad alumni network of leaders across industries, functions, and geographies, with active Association Chapters across the UAE, India, and international locations.</p>
<p id="enVBfAvfv7P">Commenting on the launch, <strong>Professor Sunil Sharma, Dean, IIM Ahmedabad – Dubai Campus</strong> said <em>“The Gulf is witnessing one of the most consequential economic transformations of our time and the demand for leaders who can drive that transformation, has never been more acute. We designed this programme to address what we call the executive blind spot; senior leaders are expected to acquire new capabilities but cannot step away from the leadership responsibilities they have worked hard to earn. This programme is built exactly for that &#8211; to provide the full rigour of IIM Ahmedabad&#8217;s academic tradition, in-person learning, peer interactions, and an AI-integrated curriculum, structured around their professional lives. We are confident it will equip seasoned professionals with the strategic depth, cross-functional judgment, and AI-ready perspective that organisations across the Gulf will increasingly demand in near and long term.’’</em></p>
<p id="e3PNklfyzR3v">Per the WEF’s data, 41% of UAE workers&#8217; core skills set to change by 2030. The programme&#8217;s AI-integrated curriculum and case-based pedagogy are designed to develop exactly the kind of adaptive, strategic leadership the region demands. This marks the third offering from IIM Ahmedabad’s Dubai Campus, expanding the Institute’s growing portfolio of programmes designed to build management and leadership capabilities among professionals in the UAE.</p>
<p id="eLslBqKCb8Bt"><em>‘’At this stage of a career, senior leaders are not building a network from scratch, they are adding to one strategically. What this programme also offers is a curated cohort of accomplished peers and access to the IIM Ahmedabad alumni community, a network that compounds differently when it is built at the level where boardroom decisions are made and business landscapes are navigated,&#8221;</em> <strong>he </strong>added.</p>
<p id="emnDaZOMUYMf">The Executive MBA is supported by global education company Emeritus to drive awareness and outreach, while the on-campus academic delivery and faculty operations are led by IIM Ahmedabad Dubai Campus.</p>
<p id="erDpYFQL9Fcc">The strategic expansion is deliberate, deepening IIM Ahmedabad&#8217;s institutional commitment to one of the world&#8217;s most strategically significant business economies and its ambition to become a global AI-first knowledge hub.</p>
<p id="e3IPNBpi9CaF">Applications are now open. Candidates must have a minimum of 6 (six) years of post-graduation experience, including 3 (three) years in a managerial or leadership role, and are required to submit IIMA Admission Test, GMAT Focus, Executive Assessment, or GRE scores. Admissions follow a rigorous multi-stage selection process.</p>

<p>The book was unveiled by Colonel Abdullah Salim Al Suwaidi, Director, Hemaya School Office, Dubai Police, who attended the opening of BON’s 42nd branch at Dubai Hills as Chief Guest. He congratulated British Orchard Nursery and the wider community on the occasion and expressed his appreciation for initiatives that bring together education, community engagement and the UAE’s values.</p>
<p>The occasion also commemorated the UAE’s month-long celebration of Emirati Women’s Day, recognising the contribution of Emirati women and the important role mothers and grandmother&#8217;s play in passing culture, traditions and values from one generation to the next.</p>
<p>Designed specifically for young learners, the book introduces children to the UAE’s heritage, Islamic studies, culture, traditions, Arabic and national identity in an age-appropriate way. It aims to help them understand not only the symbols and customs they see around them, but also the values of respect, tolerance, community and belonging that underpin them.</p>
<p>The launch was attended by representatives from Dubai Police, Dubai Health, Dubai Municipality and Dubai Women Association, alongside educators and members of the wider Emaar community at Dubai Hills.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Vandana Gandhi, CEO and Founder of British Orchard Nursery,</strong> said: “Children begin absorbing values and developing a sense of identity and belonging much earlier than we sometimes realise. If the UAE is the country in which they are growing up, we want them to know its story and develop a connection with UAE culture and values from their earliest years.</p>
<p>“I am born and raised in the UAE and my values have been shaped by the rich culture and values.The UAE Heritage and Values Book has been created specifically for young children, making heritage simple, visual and relatable. We want them to understand not only the traditions and symbols they see around them, but also the values and meaning behind them.”</p>
<p>The initiative has relevance in the UAE, where children from many different nationalities grow up together. The preschool years provide an important opportunity to build an understanding of the country they call home and nurture respect for its culture and values from an early age.</p>
<p>The launch also coincided with the UAE’s extended month-long celebration of Emirati Women’s Day, recognising the role Emirati women play within families and communities while contributing to the country’s development across government, business, education, healthcare and other sectors.</p>
<p>Dr. Gandhi added: “Women have always played an important role in passing culture, traditions and values from one generation to the next. Emirati women today continue that role while making an important contribution across every sphere of national life. It was therefore particularly meaningful for us to celebrate their contribution as we launched an initiative centered on heritage, identity and values.”</p>
<p>BON’s partnerships with the many UAE government organizations like DEWA, RTA, DM, Dubai Police etc have also enabled it to support employees and working mothers by providing early-years education and childcare for their children at the Government building workplace.</p>
<p><strong>Huda Alshehhi, Principal Administrative Officer at Dubai Health Authority</strong>, said: “Congratulations to British Orchard Nursery on the opening of the new Dubai Hills branch. We are proud of our partnership and wish you continued success and many more achievements. We appreciate your ongoing support for Dubai Health families and your valuable role in nurturing our children and supporting their development.”</p>
<p>The opening of the Dubai Hills branch takes British Orchard Nursery’s network to 42 branches across the UAE, further expanding its reach while continuing its focus on early education that combines project-based learning with cultural awareness, values and a sense of belonging.</p>
<p>BON has also developed long-standing partnerships with government entities at its local branches. Earlier this year, its Dubai Municipality branch marked its 15th year celebration for the young preschoolers, attended by H.E. Engr. Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality.</p>
<p>Established to support the children of Dubai Municipality employees, the partnership has seen more than 1000 young learners graduate over the years. During the ceremony, H.E. Engr. Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita toured the nursery, interacted with children and educators, and praised its learning environment and contribution to early childhood development.</p>
<p>The 20-year anniversary milestone reflects BON’s wider approach of working with women across the UAE, GCC , UK and India via the parenting, teacher training and UK diploma centre, supporting women gain jobs and vocational skills in the education sector and empowering women to support children and families while making quality early-years education more accessible to all.</p>

The strategic partnership marks one of the educational platform’s largest implementations to date and aligns with GEMS’ dedication to spearheading innovation in the education sector.</p>
<p id="eoR_aEVqE5m">BravoBravo combines Arabic learning content, interactive activities, assessment, and teacher support to develop the four core language skills – reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The platform features more than 1,000 books, 150,000 comprehension questions, and 170,000 audio clips. It also offers AI-supported evaluation of writing, oral reading, and speaking.</p>
<p id="eL3gbY5QIpD">Arabic classrooms at GEMS bring together students of over 175 nationalities with different levels of vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence. The partnership will enable educators to respond to these differences through age-appropriate, culturally aligned content, ongoing assessment, and targeted practice. A central differentiator is the BravoBravo AI Teacher Assistant that helps teachers prepare lesson plans, assign levelled reading, design activities, create assessments, and deliver remedial support.</p>
<p id="e0f54tNq2MZ">Students can read, listen, write, speak, complete assignments, and receive feedback within the same application. Interactive activities and gamification encourage continued practice at school and at home.</p>
<p id="eH0vvTGGP6T">Zeid Fahoum, Co-Founder and CEO of BravoBravo, said: “BravoBravo was created inside a school, and its evolution has always been shaped by the needs of teachers and students. The unique proposition has been specially designed to appeal to the digitally native generation. We look forward to bringing our award-winning platform to more learners through our partnership with GEMS.”</p>
<p id="exkN3ifQS77">Dino Varkey, GEMS Group CEO, said: “At GEMS, we are committed to developing strong Arabic skills among our students and building a meaningful connection with the language as well as the culture and heritage it carries. Our partnership with BravoBravo supports that commitment by equipping teachers with state-of-the-art resources, powered by the latest technologies, that make learning more engaging.”</p>
<p id="e4uiH6M-WXC">The partnership will provide insight into Arabic learning at classroom, school, and group levels. Teachers will be able to track individual and class performance, while school and group leaders can review progress across grades and participating schools. These insights will help educators identify recurring learning gaps, understand engagement patterns, and make informed decisions about teaching and support.</p>
<p id="edAt1gxS-PrU">The implementation also creates an opportunity to better understand Arabic learning across GEMS’ diverse student population. Baseline and follow-up assessments, platform data, and teacher feedback could inform future case studies on student progress and differentiated teaching.</p>
<p id="eCCHpDCUO7e-">Created within a school environment and now used by more than 500 schools, BravoBravo continues to evolve through feedback from students, teachers, and administrators, alongside input from psychologists and educators.</p>

<div id="clipboard-lead" class="col-lg-6 wp-preview__content fs-3" dir="auto">For UAE schools, the challenge is no longer whether AI literacy belongs in education, but how to implement it in a way that is coherent, safe and measurable from KG to Grade 12. The UAE framework sets a clear direction: students should progressively move from understanding AI to questioning, evaluating, designing and using it responsibly. Turning that ambition into school reality requires more than introducing new tools—it means aligning curriculum, teacher readiness, governance, assessment and practical student experiences into one connected learning journey.</div>
</div>

<div class="separator my-15"></div>
<section id="content-section">
<div class="wp-preview__content" dir="auto">
<div class="wp-preview__content">
<p>For UAE schools, AI literacy is moving rapidly from experimentation to a structured educational requirement. The UAE Ministry of Education has established a National AI Literacy Curriculum Framework from Kindergarten to Grade 12, covering AI concepts, data and algorithms, ethics, societal impact and real-world applications.</p>
<p>For school directors, Heads of Digital Learning, IT leaders and academic teams, the challenge is now operational: <strong>How can the UAE framework be translated into a coherent, safe and measurable KG–12 programme?</strong></p>
<p>The answer requires more than introducing AI tools or adding a few lessons on generative AI. Schools need to connect <strong>curriculum, teachers, technology, governance, assessment and evidence of student progression.</strong></p>
<h2>Start with the framework, not the tools</h2>
<p>The first decision should not be which chatbot students will use, but <strong>what students are expected to learn</strong>.</p>
<p>The UAE framework aims to build foundational AI literacy for all students, move learners progressively from understanding toward application, and prepare them for AI-enabled higher education and careers. It also emphasizes human oversight, ethical and safe AI use, cultural relevance and responsible decision-making.</p>
<p>School leaders should therefore ask:</p>
<ul>
<li>What should a Grade 4 student understand about AI?</li>
<li>What should a Grade 8 student be able to evaluate?</li>
<li>What should a Grade 12 student be able to design and govern responsibly?</li>
</ul>
<p>Technology should support those outcomes rather than determine them.</p>
<h2>Build one coherent KG–12 progression</h2>
<p>One of the biggest risks is implementing AI literacy as disconnected activities: robotics in one grade, ChatGPT in another and prompt engineering later, without progression.</p>
<p>A more coherent journey is:</p>
<p><strong>KG–Grade 2: Discover AI</strong><br />
Smart tools, instructions, patterns, humans versus machines and safe technology use.</p>
<p><strong>Grades 3–4: Understand AI</strong><br />
Data, rules, predictions, machine learning, privacy and human oversight.</p>
<p><strong>Grades 5–6: Understand how AI learns</strong><br />
Algorithms, training data, classification, neural networks, accuracy, bias and applications.</p>
<p><strong>Grades 7–8: Question and evaluate AI</strong><br />
Generative AI, misinformation, data quality, fairness, deepfakes, privacy and responsible use.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 9: Use and challenge LLMs</strong><br />
Prompting, context, hallucinations, verification, bias and academic integrity.</p>
<p><strong>Grades 10–11: Compare and design AI systems</strong><br />
Deep learning, model comparison, human-AI collaboration, explainability, accessibility and accountability.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 12: Design and govern AI responsibly</strong><br />
Governance, regulation, auditing, societal impact and advanced AI-enabled solutions.</p>
<p>The overall journey becomes:</p>
<p><strong>Discover → Understand → Use → Question → Evaluate → Design → Govern</strong></p>
<p>This gives students continuity rather than restarting AI education every year.</p>
<h2>Adapt implementation to the UAE school system</h2>
<p>Implementation is not identical across all UAE schools.</p>
<p>Within the Ministry of Education system, <strong>Artificial Intelligence and Technology</strong> is already treated as a formal subject, including assessed provision for Grades 5–12 during the 2025–26 academic year.</p>
<p>ADEK&#8217;s AI Literacy initiative for more than 170 Abu Dhabi private schools uses a dedicated year-long curriculum, while allowing schools to deliver the required outcomes through existing subjects, a hybrid model or a standalone programme.</p>
<p>The strategic direction is therefore clear: <strong>AI literacy should become a structured K–12 capability</strong>, but implementation should reflect each school&#8217;s regulator, curriculum and operating model.</p>
<h2>Prepare teachers before scaling to students</h2>
<p>Technology is often the easiest part. Teachers also need the confidence to guide students through questions such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why can an AI model hallucinate?</li>
<li>How does context influence an answer?</li>
<li>What makes a source trustworthy?</li>
<li>How can bias enter an AI system?</li>
<li>What information should never be shared with AI?</li>
<li>When is AI assistance acceptable?</li>
<li>When must human judgment remain in control?</li>
</ul>
<p>Teachers do not need to become machine-learning engineers. They need enough AI literacy to facilitate experimentation, verification and critical discussion.</p>
<p>ADEK&#8217;s implementation also reflects this principle through professional development for teachers, heads of department and designated AI leads. Teacher enablement should therefore be part of the rollout from the beginning.</p>
<h2>Treat governance as part of AI literacy</h2>
<p>AI literacy and AI governance cannot be separated.</p>
<p>If students interact with AI, schools need clear policies around:</p>
<ul>
<li>approved AI services and models;</li>
<li>age-appropriate access;</li>
<li>student data and privacy;</li>
<li>trusted information sources;</li>
<li>human oversight;</li>
<li>academic integrity;</li>
<li>AI-assisted student work.</li>
</ul>
<p>ADEK&#8217;s framework addresses issues including data protection, student privacy, cognitive agency, human oversight, content safety, cultural alignment and algorithmic fairness.</p>
<p>Governance should therefore not be treated simply as an IT compliance issue. <strong>Understanding when and how AI should be used is itself part of AI literacy.</strong></p>
<h2>Move students from AI usage to AI literacy</h2>
<p>A student may be very good at generating an essay, image or summary with AI and still have limited AI literacy.</p>
<p>AI literacy begins when learners ask:</p>
<p><strong>Why did the model produce this answer?<br />
Should I trust it?<br />
What evidence supports it?<br />
Would another model respond differently?<br />
Did the context influence the result?<br />
Could there be bias?<br />
Should AI be making this decision at all?</strong></p>
<p>That is why students need practical experimentation alongside classroom instruction.</p>
<p>They should experience hallucinations rather than only define them, compare outputs from different models, test how changes in context affect answers, and distinguish between general model knowledge and responses grounded in trusted sources.</p>
<h2>Build assessment from the beginning</h2>
<p>If AI literacy is a genuine curriculum, schools need evidence that students are progressing.</p>
<p>ADEK has introduced an <strong>AI Growth Test twice yearly for Grades 4–12</strong> within its private-school initiative.</p>
<p>At school level, assessment should similarly evolve from simple knowledge toward applied judgment:</p>
<p><strong>I know what AI is → I can explain it → I can use it → I can question it → I can evaluate it → I can create with it → I can make responsible decisions about it.</strong></p>
<p>Assessment can therefore combine knowledge checks, scenarios, categorization, comparisons, decision-making activities, projects and graded evaluations rather than relying only on recall.</p>
<h2>How Mexty can support implementation</h2>
<p><a title="Mexty" href="https://mexty.ai/" rel="dofollow">Mexty </a>has developed <strong>editable AI Literacy curriculum templates from KG to Grade 12</strong> to help schools translate the UAE framework into operational learning paths.</p>
<p>The emphasis on <strong>editable</strong> is important. Schools can adapt content to their own curriculum and context, modify examples and sequencing, incorporate internal policies, change activities and customize assessments rather than adopting a rigid programme.</p>
<p>Within one environment, schools can organize:</p>
<p><strong>Learning Paths → Courses → Interactive Activities → AI Experiments → Evaluations</strong></p>
<p>Students can undertake controlled experiments such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>comparing answers from different AI models;</li>
<li>changing prompts and context;</li>
<li>investigating hallucinations;</li>
<li>analysing bias;</li>
<li>comparing general AI answers with responses grounded in trusted sources.</li>
</ul>
<p><a title="Mexty's Evaluation " href="https://workspace.mexty.ai/lms/chat" rel="dofollow">Mexty&#8217;s Evaluation </a>module can also support graded assessments using quizzes, decision paths, categorization, visual recognition, question banks and confidence checks.</p>
<p>Mexty&#8217;s role is not to replace the UAE framework, school leadership or teachers. It provides the <strong>learning infrastructure and editable curriculum foundation through which AI literacy can be adapted, delivered and assessed.</strong></p>
<h2>Implement in phases</h2>
<p>Schools do not need to transform their entire KG–12 programme at once.</p>
<p>A controlled rollout can follow:</p>
<p><strong>Prepare → Pilot → Measure → Refine → Scale</strong></p>
<p>Start with selected grades. Prepare teachers and governance policies. Deliver a defined learning sequence. Measure student outcomes and teacher experience. Refine the model, then expand.</p>
<p>This makes implementation manageable while creating evidence before wider deployment.</p>
<h2>From national framework to school reality</h2>
<p>The UAE has already established the direction: AI literacy should be <strong>progressive, ethical, human-centred, practical and connected to real-world challenges</strong>.</p>
<p>The responsibility for school leaders is now to turn that direction into a sustainable operating model connecting:</p>
<p><strong>Framework → Curriculum → Teachers → Technology → Student Experience → Assessment → Evidence</strong></p>
<p>The real measure of success will not be how many AI tools a school adopts. It will be whether students progressively learn to <strong>understand AI, use it, question it, evaluate it and ultimately make responsible decisions about it.</strong></p>
<p>That is the difference between simply introducing AI into a school and building genuine AI literacy.</p>

<p>Implemented across Arcadia British School and Arcadia Global School in Dubai, the programme enables students to explore future pathways and work towards their ambitions from the moment they start secondary school. It supports the KHDA’s comprehensive FutuReady Framework, which is designed to transform academic and career guidance across private schools and higher education institutions, in line with Dubai&#8217;s Economic Agenda (<a href="https://www.dubaidet.gov.ae/"><u>D33</u></a>) and the Education 33 Strategy.</p>
<p><strong><b>Navin Valrani, CEO of Arcadia Education, says:</b></strong> “Arcadia Aspirations is about starting the conversation early and making sure future readiness is part of everyday education. Most <a href="https://www.uaetoday.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UAE</a> schools treat college counseling as a service, but Arcadia will make it a system &#8211; one that is woven through every year and creates a clear path from potential to purpose. By giving students seven years to understand themselves, explore possibilities and build meaningful experiences, we can help them make confident and informed choices about their futures.”</p>
<p>Unlike traditional university or career counselling, Arcadia Aspirations is embedded directly into the curriculum, with students participating in a weekly 40-minute session within their existing pastoral and character education timetable, supported by form tutors and specialist counsellors. The programme includes dedicated time for test preparation, essays, mentorship and internships, as well as off-site bootcamps.</p>
<p>The seven-year pathway will include defined milestones and age-appropriate support, from early personality, interest and skills profiling and career exploration to subject guidance, extracurricular development, work experience, entrepreneurship tracks and capstone projects. As students approach graduation, the programme will provide tailored guidance on university applications across the UK, Europe, US, Australia and other international destinations.</p>
<p>Arcadia Aspirations is strategically led by Sarah Hales, who brings extensive experience in international student recruitment and university engagement across a diverse range of markets. She previously led the University of Cambridge’s undergraduate and postgraduate engagement and recruitment activities across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.  In her new role, she will design the full curriculum, guide all counsellors across both schools, run university fairs and workshops, facilitate MOUs with top global universities, and manage all external partnerships.</p>
<p>Five dedicated KHDA-accredited counsellors across both schools will provide hands-on guidance to students on campus, supported by specially-trained members of the senior leadership team, teachers and coordinators. Parents will also be encouraged to work alongside students, teachers and counsellors as individual interests, skills and ambitions develop.</p>
<p><strong><b>Sarah Hales, Head of Arcadia Aspirations, says:</b></strong> “Every student has a different combination of interests, strengths and ambitions. Our role is to help them discover what those are and turn them into opportunities. By bringing teachers, counsellors and parents together around one continuous journey, Arcadia Aspirations gives students the time, guidance and experiences they need to shape their own futures.”</p>
<p>Arcadia Aspirations builds on the schools’ existing successful university outcomes, with the founding cohort of Arcadia British School achieving a 100 per cent first-choice university placement rate this year. Students have progressed to formidable international universities, including Warwick, Loughborough and Boston College.</p>

<p>The relaunch strengthens StudyIn’s local presence in the <a href="https://www.uaetoday.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UAE</a>, combining on-the-ground guidance with the organisation’s global reach, multi-destination expertise and network of 500+ global academic institution partners.</p>
<p>As students and families increasingly consider a broader range of countries, universities and programmes when planning international study, StudyIn supports students in exploring opportunities across major study destinations including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the UAE, Europe and Asia.</p>
<p>The Dubai office will provide personalised support to students and families throughout their international education journey, from exploring university and course options through to applications and preparing for overseas study.</p>
<p>Ravi Chand, who brings more than 25 years of experience in the international education sector, has been appointed Country Director, StudyIn UAE, to lead the operation. Ravi is also the founder of UniPlus Education and brings extensive experience of the UAE international education market.</p>
<p>“Students today are looking beyond a single destination when considering international education. They are comparing universities, courses, career opportunities and study experiences across different countries before making their decisions,” said Ravi Chand, Country Director, StudyIn UAE.</p>
<p>“Re-establishing StudyIn’s presence in Dubai enables us to combine strong local market knowledge with StudyIn’s international reach and university network, giving students and families greater choice and trusted guidance as they navigate their international education journey.”</p>
<p>Ajay Tyagi, Head of Franchise, StudyIn, said: “The UAE is an important and highly diverse international education market. Strengthening our presence here allows us to bring StudyIn’s global university network and multi-destination expertise closer to students and families across the region.</p>
<p>“Our focus is to provide students with informed, personalised guidance while building strong connections with schools, universities and education partners across the UAE.”</p>
<p>The launch was attended by Simon Green, Director of Examinations, British Council UAE, as guest of honour. Simon Green said: “We are pleased to be part of this occasion and to see initiatives that support students in exploring international education. The UAE has strong connections with universities and education institutions around the world, and such initiatives contribute to the wider international education ecosystem.”</p>

Sharma, who has taught and mentored students for over 18 years, developed BOUNCE, a proprietary six-step methodology (Brainstorming, Organising, Understanding, Nuancing, Consolidating, and becoming Exam Ready), used across the company&#8217;s faculty, including IB examiners and IGCSE specialists. At its core, BOUNCE teaches students to apply what they already know to suit exam requirements, rather than simply accumulating more content.</p>
<p id="eeWUOzZTDd7">Sunita sees BOUNCE as teaching a life skill, not just an exam skill. &#8220;We now have countless opinions out there, and AI can generate endless content to support any one of them,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The real skill isn&#8217;t finding information anymore, it&#8217;s learning to break down a complex problem and discern what aligns with what we want to achieve. Our teaching extends beyond exam technique, it&#8217;s lifelong learning.”</p>
<p id="eQ7QrcCW-Pn">Young Scholarz&#8217;s presence at the Dubai fair aims at establishing partnerships with UAE schools and university counsellors, supporting students from Grade 9 to Grade 12 in a role complementary to school programmes. &#8220;It takes a village to raise a child,&#8221; said Sunita Sharma. &#8220;Our goal is true collaboration with educators, so that together we help each student reach the university that is genuinely right for them.&#8221;</p>
<p id="e0d7Pw6sYiq">Widely regarded as one of Singapore&#8217;s leading tuition providers, the company has been founder-led since inception, and built on 18 years of trust within the Singapore education community. That trust has been earned largely through word of mouth, with families referring other families, and alumni remaining connected to Young Scholarz long after their own exams are behind them.</p>
<p id="ebP_FNXIREI">Singapore and the UAE share a natural affinity that makes this expansion a logical fit. Both are nations built on ambition, progress and a growth mindset, societies that prize hard work, entrepreneurship and continual improvement, and where families place real value on education as the foundation for opportunity. Family mobility is a defining feature of Singapore&#8217;s own expat population, with many moving frequently between countries and curricula. Young Scholarz has built particular expertise in helping students navigate these transitions, including moving from Indian CBSE or local O Level systems into the IB, a skill set that speaks directly to the UAE&#8217;s own large and mobile expat community, where families face similar curriculum shifts as children move between schools, systems and countries.</p>
<p id="eG6ZJv4MrWS">The company will be present at the UAE Global Education Fair on 2 to 3 October at Millennium Plaza Downtown Hotel, Dubai, with separate meetings scheduled with schools and university counsellors across the visit.</p>
