The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) launched 'Rayah' a revolutionary online platform that puts parents in the spotlight of their children's learning. Unveiled at ADEK's presence in the 45th edition of GITEX Global, hosted between October 13 and 17 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Rayah embodies ADEK's vision for improving the parent experience in education by transitioning away from passive notifications to live, contextualized interaction that facilitates each child's development within an ecosystem ready for the future.
Unveiled at the Abu Dhabi Government pavilion in the presence of high-ranking officials, the platform is the first of its kind in the region. Rayah will revolutionize the way parents engage with their child's schooling through one integrated digital portal that offers access to trusted educational information and the ability to participate directly in a child's learning experience.
Parents on Rayah are able to track attendance, grades, and overall school performance in real time, receive early alerts when there are any changes, and facilitate intervention before issues with their academic performance become severe. Parents are also able to track standardized tests, compare achievement between schools, and compare their child's progress region-wise, curriculum-wise, and school fee category-wise, providing a clear view of their performance compared to others.

Apart from academic tracking, Rayah also helps parents make better choices in school selection. The platform delivers reliable performance reports, including ADEK policy compliance, Irtiqaa results, and the National Identity Mark, giving a clear insight into the quality of the school for better-informed decision-making. Families are also given timely updates on school calendars and events, helping to bring schools and parents closer together, and establishing a more cohesive education community.
Furthermore, Rayah provides access to child development, parenting, and family learning activity resources that promote home–school interaction and balanced growth. The platform enhances the value beyond academics by offering access to family programs, educational events, cultural activities, and special offers, making the learning experience holistic.
What makes Rayah unique is its capacity to provide customized support. Through the assessment of each child's learning profile, the platform creates actionable insights specific to their individual progress. It breaks down intricate academic information into parent-centric insights, enabling families to make informed decisions and facilitate their children's learning at every turn. Marwan Othman, Acting Support Services Sector Executive Director of ADEK, was keen to stress that "Rayah is based on a straightforward premise: when parents are empowered and informed, children thrive".
We’ve designed a platform that takes the stress out of navigating schools and academic data and turns it into a supportive, personalized experience for every family. The platform is now available for download via the App Store, marking a significant step in enhancing parental engagement and fostering educational success across Abu Dhabi.
