It is CEO Mohamed Gamal’s belief that the goal of education is not to increase knowledge but to create opportunities for children to discover their own abilities and become the best people that they can be.

ABT Assessments has created several professional platforms to assist students in their learning with fun, interactive lessons. These activities take learners step-by-step then encourage them to practice the language themselves. The platforms offer short assessments to measure students’ progress and once they have passed, learners receive a certificate. The organisation delivers three assessments throughout the year to assess students’ skills and knowledge. There are three rounds of assessments that run for three months and commence in September, January, and April. After completion, schools receive detailed reports that allow them to see the exact level of student attainment to help them develop their curriculum. Within five to seven working days, each student receives a personalised report based on their progress, strengths, and points for improvement. Reports include the student’s mark sheet, an attainment report, progress throughout the academic year, a year-toyear report, and many other elements. The data is displayed in charts and shows an analysis based on internal and external benchmarks. Schools receive a combined progress report that provides skills analysis, gender analysis, and individual analysis. The document highlights students that fall above or below curriculum expectations for their country or globally. An overall progress report is generated based on the attainment for each year group and level. There is also a comparison report between schools based on to their curriculums and year groups. Questions such as multiple choice, matching, rearranging, and true/ false are assessed automatically, whereas writing and speaking questions are marked by ABT Assessments’ marking department. Its team assesses papers with fairness, accuracy, and consistency and follows a guideline for marking questions.
