Riyadh: The education sector is undergoing a rapid transformation through the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, both in classrooms and in the development of educational competencies, helping build more precise and effective professional pathways. The National Institute for Educational Professional Development (NIEPD) is spearheading a qualitative transformation in the educational professional development system by leveraging AI and data analytics to create a more personalized development experience tailored to each teacher's needs. These efforts enhance the quality of teaching practices and improve their impact in schools.

It provides personalized professional recommendations, suggests individual development pathways, and generates leadership reports that support decision-making and improve the efficiency of investments in the development of educational personnel.

AI is also being integrated into the institute's educational leadership and talent management system, where advanced assessment tools and analytics are used to develop individualized professional growth plans and identify promising leaders. These efforts prepare them to lead schools in the future while ensuring the sustainability of leadership competencies across the education sector.
