A two-component program launches in Dubai private schools: AI Literacy for Grades 6–8 with cross-subject curriculum, teacher development, and assessments; and AI Enrichment for High School students, a four-week online and one-week in-person hybrid, featuring mentorship, team capstones, and pitch-style presentations for 40–100 participants per session.

The initiative runs through February 2030 and will roll out in phases, starting with pilot schools and teacher training before broader deployment.

This is a multi-year collaboration among DP World Foundation, KHDA, and MIT RAISE to scale AI literacy education across Dubai’s private schools by February 2030.
