PowerSchool Expands with Arabic Version for Global Reach

PowerSchool, a leading provider of cloud-based education software, announced the launch of its translated and localized products for the United Arab Emirates, GCC, and the broader Middle East. These products will enable educators in the region to streamline critical administrative, classroom, and communication workflows by leveraging newly embedded Arabic translations, right-to-left interface displays, Hijri calendar overlays, and more.

Enhanced Accessibility for All

Administrators can now access PowerSchool’s world-renowned Student Information System to log student records and craft reports in their native language. Teachers can better promote personalized learning for their students with Schoology Learning in Arabic. Additionally, Arabic-speaking parents will be able to access digital school forms in their preferred language through PowerSchool’s Enrollment Express and Ecollect Forms solutions.

Aiming to Increase Collaboration and Promote Equity

By providing these products in Arabic, PowerSchool aims to increase collaboration between schools and families, elevate student achievement, save valuable time, and promote equity and access in schools where Arabic is spoken. PowerBuddy, PowerSchool’s AI-powered assistant, is also being developed with multi-language capability, with plans to launch in the Middle East soon.

Benefits of Localized Educational Tools

These newly localized products equip educators with the tools to: engage with technology for learning more intuitively, develop students' collaboration skills in their primary language, eliminate the burden of manual translation, which can interfere with the learning process, and also ensure educational institutions prioritize equity and inclusion for more students and families.

Commitment to the Region and New Initiatives

Following the opening of their newest office in Dubai, U.A.E. last year, PowerSchool’s investment in localized Arabic products signals their commitment to the region. This includes the release of a Middle East version of their 2024 Education Focus Report, highlighting major trends in education throughout the region based on educator interviews and feedback.

Global Impact of PowerSchool Solutions

PowerSchool is empowering more than 55 million students globally with intuitive solutions that elevate security, centralize access to comprehensive data, and enhance student performance through AI-driven, personalized education.
