Three Ways PowerSchool Can Make a Positive Impact on Education
All students, regardless of their native language, deserve equitable access to the tools they need to succeed. That’s why PowerSchool is excited to announce the launch of PowerSchool in Arabic, a new feature integrated into several of its industry-leading products, including PowerSchool SIS, PowerSchool Schoology Learning, PowerSchool Enrolment Express, and PowerSchool Ecollect Forms.
This significant update includes comprehensive translation and localisation features tailored to Arabic-speaking users. From right-to-left user interface orientation to incorporating the Hijri calendar, PowerSchool in Arabic has been designed to provide a seamless experience for educators, students, and families across the Middle East.
“At PowerSchool, we’re committed to supporting educational excellence worldwide. Our recent expansion with a Dubai-based organisation demonstrates our dedication to meeting the unique needs of the Middle Eastern educational community,” explained Mohammed Essam, PowerSchool Lead, ESOL Education.
PowerSchool’s commitment to providing Arabic localisation reflects an understanding of its diverse user base and its commitment to inclusivity. This investment can lead to closer collaboration with educational institutions in the Middle East, fostering innovation and progress in the education sector.
Let’s explore three ways PowerSchool in Arabic can positively impact education in the Middle East.
- Increase Collaboration to Elevate Student Achievement
“Collaboration among educators, students, and families is vital for student success,” says Lamis Khedr, Middle School Secretary, AIS Abu Dhabi. “PowerSchool in Arabic facilitates communication by providing tools for families to engage with their child’s education, monitor progress, and update information conveniently. Research shows that parent and family involvement can improve attendance and grades, making PowerSchool in Arabic a valuable asset for boosting student success.
“The seamless integration of language and functionality has streamlined our daily workflow, making tasks more efficient and accessible.”
2. Save Valuable Time for Teachers and Staff
Manual translation tasks can consume valuable resources for schools—not only the funds required to hire individuals fluent in multiple languages but also the time it takes to translate back and forth, over and over again.
With PowerSchool in Arabic, educators can eliminate these tasks, allowing them to focus more on personalised instruction. By automating translation processes, PowerSchool empowers educators to allocate their time more efficiently.
3. Promote Equity and Access for Every Student
PowerSchool in Arabic empowers educators to ensure that every student receives personalised, high-quality resources to achieve their full academic potential. It also ensures that language barriers do not get in the way of students’ access to essential learning tools. With over 200 million Arabic speakers worldwide, this update extends the reach of PowerSchool’s platform, empowering more students and families to engage in their education effectively.
“This is also great for us…it signals PowerSchool’s commitment to implementing our region’s requirements and taking our needs into consideration in the company’s overall plans,” said Mira El Nady, IT Application Developer, AIS Egypt.
