dubai — A new artificial intelligen­ce (AI)-powered platform is set to supplement school education with live and inclusive learning opportunit­ies for students, not only in the UAE but across the world.

Launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah, Online Learning World (OLW) comes after extensive market research which revealed that the percentage of students taking private classes rose through the grades. In Grade 12, around 37 per cent of all Emirati and 35 per cent of all non-Emirati students sought online learning.

“This is a phenomenal platform that empowers the students seeking support to learn complex subjects in a simple and efficient manner. This is also revolution­ary because it is on-demand – thereby empowering students and parents to select specific and tailored tutoring and plan their learning days,” said Amreesh Chandra, president of OLW.

OLW aims to break down complicate­d chapters into simple and interestin­g lesson plans which clarify and enhance concept-based learning as per a specific board’s curriculum. Subjects like Maths,

English, Science, Coding, Arabic, Hindi and French, will be taught in a fun and interactiv­e way with masterclas­ses for wellbeing, including fitness, culinary, life skills and other short certificat­e courses also being high on the agenda.

“We have partnered with prestigiou­s learning institutio­ns including the St Paul’s School in Gorakhpur - India, Tabbie Math and GoLearn.Guru in the UK and is supported by Project Out of School Children, which aims to take quality education to every child and create infrastruc­ture and resources to start a literacy revolution,” said Chandra.

It is a new age after-school tutoring platform which is dedicated to building 21st-century skills in children, said Sanjay Srivastava, CEO of OLW. “The vision is to ensure success and wellbeing of each child by supplement­ing school education through teachers empowered with AI-based teaching and learning platforms.”
