AI as a Core Skill
In a landmark decision, the UAE Cabinet has approved the integration of Artificial Intelligence as a mandatory subject across all stages of government education—from kindergarten to Grade 12—starting this academic year. This bold move, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, reflects the country’s long-term vision: preparing children for a future driven by data, ethics, and intelligent systems.
This initiative is a signal to educators, technologists, and parents that AI isn’t a distant concept. It’s a foundational skill, as essential as reading or math.
From Policy to Practice
Now, with AI becoming part of the national curriculum, the potential to include neurodiverse learners in this digital revolution is immense. It means reimagining how children with autism and learning difficulties engage with content, interact with devices, and develop essential skills through accessible technology.
Enara’s Mission, Reinforced
At Enara, we believe this national vision aligns closely with our mission: using AI to make early intervention more inclusive and effective for children with learning challenges. While AI is just entering mainstream classrooms, Enara has already been harnessing its power to support skill development through home-based therapy reinforcement.
Our AI-powered learning platform uses interactive, responsive games and activities to help therapists create personalized programs for neurodiverse children—supporting the mastery of essential skills at the right developmental stages.
Making SEN Central to the AI Conversation
As the UAE builds a future-ready curriculum, we see a unique opportunity to embed special education needs (SEN) into this AI transformation. In the near future, AI won’t just be something students learn. It will be a tool they use to learn better, especially those who need tailored support.
By equipping all students—including those with additional learning needs—with AI literacy, the UAE is shaping a future where inclusion is not an afterthought but a fundamental design principle.
And Enara is proud to be part of this vision.
