Abu Dhabi: The UAE's ambition to become a global hub for artificial intelligence is currently in the classroom. Ednas, a UAE-based education technology company, is launching the country's first fully resource AI literacy curriculum for schools. Covering Key Stages 1-3 (1-9 years), the program will provide the school with everything it needs to teach AI right away, using complete lesson plans, activities and classroom resources designed to be simple, practical and ready to deliver AI education from day one.
Developed together with teachers and AI experts, the curriculum benchmarked against international standards, including PISA 2029, arrives as the UAE accelerates its AI education orders in all schools. The first pilot is currently underway at Haley Berry Astana, the renowned British Haley Berry School Network, providing valuable insights ahead of the deployment and regional expansion across the UAE in the coming months.
Liam Stewart, managing director of EDNAS, said: “The UAE has set a bold vision to lead the world in AI education, and schools need practical ways to realize that vision. As an educator, I have seen how challenging it can be to move from ambition to action without the right support. Here, to meet the needs of teachers and students across the region.”
The development began in 2025 with classroom-ready content from Key Stages 1-3 (1-9 years) and followed by CPD-certified teacher training in 2026, building long-term expertise. By 2027, accreditation services will help schools be prepared to provide world-class AI education. From the second year, Arabic resources will also be introduced, ensuring bilingual delivery across the region.
At its heart, Ednas is about removing complexity and making it easy to deliver AI education. Equipped with reliable and practical tools for teachers, gives students the skills, critical thinking and ethical awareness they need to thrive in an AI-driven future. What begins in the UAE is designed to grow across the region, shaping a generation ready to understand, question and guide in a world transformed by technology.
