iSchool, a leading Egyptian edtech platform and C3 alumni, has announced a strategic partnership with Egypt’s Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) to provide advanced technology and AI education to the children of the Authority’s employees. The initiative aims to equip the next generation with essential future-ready skills, ranging from artificial intelligence and web development to game design and cybersecurity.
Empowering the Next Generation of Tech Leaders
The collaboration focuses on offering personalized online classes for students aged 6 to 18, ensuring they engage with emerging technologies confidently and responsibly. By providing access to iSchool’s accredited STEAM curriculum, the partnership seeks to bridge the digital skills gap and prepare youth for high-demand careers in the global digital economy. The program includes live, gamified sessions led by expert instructors, allowing students to transition from basic coding to complex project portfolios.
Strategic Alignment with National Digital Goals
This initiative aligns with the broader mission of the Financial Regulatory Authority, led by Chairman Dr. Mohamed Farid Saleh, to foster technical and financial literacy across the Egyptian workforce and their families. It complements recent national efforts, such as the FRA’s “smart regulation” digital payment network and the Ministry of Education’s protocols to integrate tech-driven financial inclusion. By investing in the digital proficiency of employees’ families, the FRA is reinforcing its commitment to a knowledge-based economy and sustainable institutional growth.
Scalable Impact in the MENA Edtech Space
Founded in 2018, iSchool has rapidly grown into a dominant force in the MENA region’s edtech sector, boasting over 131,000 graduates across 20 countries. Having recently raised $4.5 million in a funding round led by VentureWave Capital and supported by regional VCs like Oraseya Capital, the company is aggressively expanding its footprint. The partnership with a key government regulator like the FRA demonstrates the platform’s capacity to manage national-level initiatives and its role as a critical partner in Egypt’s digital transformation journey.
