Almotahida Education Group

What Almotahida Education Group does

Almotahida Education Group, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Dubai, UAE, is a privately held education technology company that provides turnkey digital education solutions to K-12 schools, vocational institutions, lifelong learning centers, and public libraries, primarily across the Arab world and selected markets in South and Southeast Asia. Its core business is the authoring, electronic publishing, and distribution of Arabic-language digital educational content — including interactive curriculum, encyclopedic libraries, assessment platforms, and professional training programs — aligned with Ministry of Education standards across multiple jurisdictions. The company monetizes primarily through institutional subscription platforms (Hawwaz, AskZad, Tebian, SchooPedia), supplemented by professional services for teacher training and curriculum delivery.

The product portfolio is anchored by Kalemon (an Arabic language learning platform for native and non-native speakers, K-12, winner of the Mohammed bin Rashid Award for Arabic Language), Hawwaz (a digital training and diploma platform with university partnerships), AskZad (an Arabic academic digital library launched in 1997, serving 100+ universities), SchooPedia (a K-12 encyclopedic platform with 70,000+ video tutorials), and Tebian (an assessment platform with 2M+ questions and AI-powered performance analytics). Adjacent offerings include Bareq, Kalemon Blended School, the Arabic for Life Dictionary (multilingual editions), and VR/AR/MR Labs for immersive learning, developed with partners such as Victoria Productions Inc. and Veative. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise field sales to ministries and schools, channel partnerships (e.g., B12 platform integration), app-store distribution (SchooPedia on Google Play), and event-driven demand generation (Tebian Olympiads, Arabic News Anchor competitions, GESS and LEAP trade shows).

Operationally, Almotahida maintains six regional offices (Amman, Cairo, Dubai, Riyadh, Noida, Petaling Jaya), serves customers in 20+ countries, employs 101–250 staff, and reports 80+ completed projects since inception. It is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding rounds, and its legal entities span UAE (Almotahida Education Group FZ LLC), Jordan, and Egypt (Almotahida Production Company). The business model is recurring-subscription-weighted with services overlay, content licensing, and diploma-program revenue-sharing with partner universities.
