As artificial intelligence continues to reshape education, international schools are moving quickly to explore its potential—but without a shared benchmark, it remains difficult to assess what true AI readiness looks like across the sector.

The Global AI Readiness Study brings together leading organisations across international education, including Â鶹´«Ã½, Eblana Learning, and Faria Education Group, to build a clearer, data-informed picture of how schools are approaching AI across governance, policy, staff capability, and risk management.

This free 30-minute webinar introduces the study and explores why rigorous, sector-wide research is critical at this stage of AI adoption. Featuring Sami Yosef alongside other education leaders, the session will unpack what the benchmarking survey covers, why participation from 500+ schools matters, and how your school can contribute in just 10 minutes.

By taking part, schools will not only support a global effort to better understand AI readiness, but also gain access to valuable insights and resources—including an AI Strategy course and the opportunity to engage with the study’s full findings.

Join us to be part of a collaborative, sector-wide effort to responsibly shape the future of AI in international education.
