EDNAS launches free AI Readiness Library to help schools move from AI policy to practice
EDNAS launches the AI Readiness Library — a free, monthly series of practical resources that help primary and secondary school leadership teams move from AI policy to everyday practice.
The first Edition, the AI Readiness Checklist, gives senior leadership teams a twenty-five-point self-assessment across five domains of operational readiness, with new Editions published monthly.
Abu Dhabi, UAE – 15 May 2026 – EDNAS, the AI literacy curriculum provider for primary and secondary schools, today launched the AI Readiness Library — a free resource series for school leadership teams, designed to help schools move from AI policy to everyday practice. New Editions will be published monthly.
Most schools now have an AI policy in place. Fewer have the operational habits — meeting cadence, evidence trails, parent visibility, staff confidence — that turn that policy into practice. With the new academic year twelve to sixteen weeks away, the Library gives leadership teams the structure to close that gap before September.
"Every school we worked with this year has been asking us the same questions about AI," said Liam Stewart, Managing Director of EDNAS and Head of Primary at Haileybury Astana. "How do we make our policy actually live in the school? What do parents see? What does the SLT review at each meeting? Most of the answers were buried in twenty different places — or not written down at all. We pulled them together into one place, free, for any school that wants them."
The Library opens with its first Edition, the AI Readiness Checklist — a self-assessment instrument for senior leadership teams covering five domains of operational readiness: a school's documented AI policy, how that position is communicated to its community, the cadence of its review, its day-to-day processes for filtering and incident response, and where it draws the line for staff and students.
Across the five domains it sets out twenty-five specific indicators a leadership team can assess against in a single sitting. It is jurisdiction-neutral by design, drawing on current guidance including Keeping Children Safe in Education in the UK, the UAE Ministry of Education's AI guidance, and US federal guidance on AI in education. Further Editions follow monthly — an AI Position Statement Template in June, and an AI Lesson Planning Framework in July.
The release comes as AI literacy moves from optional enrichment to expected practice. The UAE Ministry of Education has introduced AI into the national curriculum from primary. UK schools are being asked by inspection bodies about their approach. US districts are responding to state legislation. The Library is designed to travel, it works for a school in London, Dubai, Houston, or Singapore.
The AI Readiness Library is free and available now at ednas.academy/library, with new Editions published monthly.
