Branded as Tmrw, the platform will be supported by 20,000 teachers and support staff from different nationalities.

Technology has transformed education ever since the pandemic turned online learning into a necessity from an alternative couple of years back, and prompted innovators as well as schools across the globe to adopt virtual communication solutions, apps and digital educational resources. Following the success of remote classrooms in countries like UAE where connectivity and devices were easily accessible, educational institutions have also started integrating tech to create hybrid spaces, which will be essential for social distancing in the new normal.

During the pandemic, students also got innovative and created AI mechanisms for teachers to measure the level of engagement in the class, even when they couldn’t look at students face-to-face, and this was accompanied by a software to flag cheating during online tests. With schools across the globe gradually opening doors for students to enter classes in the post-pandemic era, the mind behind UAE-based education management firm GEMS has introduced an operating system specifically designed to support digitised learning.

Branded as Tmrw, the platform will be supported by 20,000 teachers and support staff from different nationalities, equipped to deliver seven different curricula in 16 countries. Tmrw is a set of different modules, which includes systems for monitoring the curriculum, assessing students and tracking their progress on a regular basis, to empower teachers with data-driven insights.

Functions of Tmrw learning OS aren’t restricted to the classroom, since it also has modules for sports management, counselling and overall well-being of the students, for holistic development. Schools can also go beyond conventional teaching methods, to manage relations between students and their parents, while offering features for enhancing the health and safety of a child.

Created as an affordable solution to be used in any part of the world, Tmrw also conducts professional training for teachers, provides real-time data to policymakers, and advises schools on designing a curriculum, digital transformation and educational strategies.
