The assistant is designed to support teachers and boost their productivity.
The Ministry of Education on Monday launched the “Siraj” intelligent educational assistant, one of the initiatives of the National Council for Future Technology, in a trial phase. The AI-powered tool is designed to enhance the learning experience for students and support teachers in their daily work.
Minister of Education, Dr. Azmi Mahafzah, said that “Siraj” enables students and teachers to access accurate, curriculum-based answers and interactions, with clear references for each response. The assistant, he noted, will be available across all grade levels during the pilot phase.
More than 16,000 teachers and 55,000 students have already used “Siraj” during the development phase, generating over 350,000 interactions. Students can use it to ask questions, review lessons, develop analytical skills, access study plans, and receive instant, reference-backed answers aligned with their academic level.
Dr. Mahafzah emphasized that the tool aims to improve students’ academic performance by enhancing self-learning, providing quick review before exams, and reducing the burden on parents by offering ongoing support both inside and outside the classroom.
The project will be further developed based on feedback from the trial, alongside studies to assess its impact on educational outcomes. Teachers and students will contribute by continuously evaluating the accuracy and relevance of responses to ensure alignment with curricula and improve content quality.
The minister also clarified that “Siraj” is not a substitute for teachers but rather a tool to increase their productivity—helping them save time preparing content, design strategies tailored to student needs, and enhance classroom interaction with suitable examples, questions, and activities. Teachers can also use it to prepare lessons, explain complex concepts in simplified ways, create assessments, and design worksheets and educational materials.
Requiring no technical expertise, the assistant is as simple to use as a search engine, with a user-friendly Arabic interface.
The tool was developed by the National Council for Future Technology using solutions from Replit, a global leader in software development platforms that enables users to build applications through natural language without coding experience.
