Arabic literacy is in urgent need of reform. Across the Arab region, persistent issues of linguistic complexity, outdated curricula, inadequate teaching-learning pedagogies, gaps in teacher preparation, and social inequities hinder effective Arabic instruction.
To address some of these challenges, regional innovations supported by WISE via the WISE Prize and WISE EdTech Accelerator and others are demonstrating how well-designed EdTech tools can contribute to inclusive, scalable, and culturally grounded solutions.
This innovation brief spotlights leading initiatives such as Kamkalima, Iqrali.jo, and Bonocle, drawing on evidence-based practices to inform policy.
