where learning sparks opportunity

Celebrating a few early adopters isn’t enough. True impact comes when every teacher feels confident using the tools of tomorrow. For school leaders, the real work isn’t choosing software — it’s building strategy, culture, and system-wide confidence.

That’s why EDNAS was created: to empower teachers with the tools and resources they need to deliver new and evolving topics like AI with clarity and confidence. Rooted in real-world practice, our curriculum was co-designed with educators and AI experts to go beyond theory — bringing hands-on projects, practical insights, and emerging tools directly into the classroom.

Who are WE?

EDNAS is a UAE-based company committed to equipping K–12 students with the skills needed to thrive in an AI-powered world.

Aligned with the UAE Ministry of Education’s 2025 mandate for AI and digital literacy, EDNAS provides curriculum-first, age-appropriate, and localised content that empowers young learners to become creators, not just consumers of technology.

We believe AI education should be accessible, ethical, and engaging. Yet most schools lack the support or confidence to teach it.

EDNAS bridges that gap — offering practical, age-appropriate content designed in line with international benchmarks like PISA 2029.
