Alef Education is expanding its digital education footprint to reach 1.5 million students in Indonesia.

Abu Dhabi-headquartered Alef Education has partnered with Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs to extend its free pilot programme, a statement from the company said.

The platform has added the Arabic language as a course of study and broadened its content, covering grades 7 to 12.

“Ultimately, we hope that tools like the Alef Platform will support our objective to improve the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) score and numeric literacy for madrasah students under MoRA,” H. Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, Indonesia’s Minister of Religious Affairs said.

Alef’s digital math lessons are aligned with the Indonesian curriculum standards and utilise the GASING method to support student achievement. Meanwhile, Arabic language classes are entertaining and interactive and promote reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.

The Alef Platform, also supports teachers with delivering engaging, gamified content that aligns specifically to their curriculum, assisting in grading and student management. The platform generates real-time data to relay relevant and timely feedback to students and teachers that help enable this transformative process and has been a critical part of the platform’s success.

Its centralised dashboard leverages machine learning and big data to provide actionable data, and intelligent and accurate recommendations to ministries to enable the improvement of learning outcomes amongst students.
