Abu Dhabi's ADEK Revolutionizes Education with AI-Powered Teaching Methods and Virtual Tutoring
Published on 4.5.25
The 'AI for Teachers' programme has equipped educators with innovative teaching methods, such as using AI to create engaging content like jokes and nursery rhymes, and streamlining administrative tasks. This initiative aims to enhance teaching skills, as stated by Dr Ahmed Al Shoaibi, Executive Director of the Higher Education Sector at Abu Dhabi's Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK).
Research from Johns Hopkins University supports this approach, finding that high-quality virtual tutoring is nearly as effective as in-person tutoring. This suggests that AI can increase access to education for students who may not have had equal opportunities otherwise.
Abu Dhabi's ADEK has been at the forefront of integrating AI in education, and its efforts are yielding positive results. The department's focus on leveraging AI to improve teaching methods is a significant step towards enhancing educational outcomes in the region.
