Abwaab Acquires Eduact To Expand Tech-Enabled Education Platform Across MENA

Abwaab has acquired Eduact, an Egyptian teacher-focused SaaS and blended-learning platform, expanding its education technology footprint across the Middle East and North Africa

Abwaab currently operates across six MENA markets and described the transaction as part of a strategy of partnering with complementary teams rather than developing every capability internally

Eduact provides independent teachers and smaller learning centers with technology to manage video content, grading, payments and workflows spanning offline and online education

Abwaab plans to combine Eduact’s relationships with teachers and learning centers in Egypt with its own technology and regional distribution platform

The strategy is intended to make digital tools available to teachers and students beyond major cities, including communities in smaller towns and villages

Abwaab’s broader platform combines teacher-led learning, AI-powered assessment technology and university admissions support and serves millions of students, teachers and institutions across the region

KEY QUOTES:

“We’ve always believed that transforming education in the Arab world isn’t about one company doing everything, it’s about finding the best teams solving real problems on the ground, and building with them. Eduact has spent years earning the trust of teachers and learning centers across Egypt, building tools that genuinely make their lives easier. Rather than compete with that, we wanted to build on it.”

Hamdi Tabbaa, Co-Founder and CEO of Abwaab

“There are incredible teachers doing great work in towns and villages that most edtech platforms never reach. Our job is to give them the same tools and reach that top teachers in major cities already have, so a great teacher’s impact isn’t limited by geography.”

Adham Hamed, Co-Founder and CEO of Eduact
