The Abu Dhabi Civil Defense Authority and Alef Education, a leading global education technology provider that empowers 21st-century learning, signed a general framework agreement to raise safety awareness among students in Abu Dhabi.
According to the agreement, a joint framework has been established between the two parties, governing the mutual procedures in a way that enhances safety and civil protection.

Leveraging Alef Platform’s pioneering education technology features, the programs will be delivered using effective learning techniques and interactive content such as educational and recreational activities. The program is tailored to suit the needs of different student age groups, enabling all age groups to benefit from the Alef Platform in Abu Dhabi.
