In conversation with Mounira Jamjoom of Aanaab

Aaanaab provides teachers with the opportunity to acquire Cambridge international credentials, as part of its partnership with the prestigious school.. We had an advisory company that focused on education development and found a significant problem in the education sector in all countries across the Arab world, which is the inadequate capabilities of the Arab teacher compared to the expat teacher.. As educators, we understand very well that the quality of an education system depends on the quality of its teachers.. We were faced with a problem: how can we upskill our teachers through professional development in a fast and scalable way through providing them high quality education.. When we launched a technical teacher course, we had 17,000 enrolments -which was an indication of how teachers are willing to be self-learners if they find quality content.. Most of the existing edtech products are primarily concerned with developing curriculum or good quality content tailored to teachers, but there was very little content that was focused on training the teacher as a human being.. Although there are edtech products in the market, investors do not really believe in edtech products and their scalability..
