Generation Alpha Kindergartens is one of the projects of the Education Development Fund, affiliated with the Egyptian Cabinet. It is a strategic step to prepare generations of Egyptian children with the tools of the future through a modern education model that builds skills, integrates technology, encourages creativity and motivates lifelong learning.
The project stems from Egypt Vision 2030, which puts investing in people and developing early education at the top of national priorities. Bringing virtual and augmented reality (AR/VR) into kindergartens supports the state's goals for digital transformation and the knowledge economy by turning the classroom into an interactive space built on thinking and exploration.
Partnership
The project continues the support that the Arab Gulf Programme for Development (AGFUND) has given since 2003 to the Early Childhood Development Center at the Educational City in 6th of October. In 2025 it was relaunched as "Generation Alpha Kindergartens" through a partnership between the Education Development Fund and the Arab Council for Childhood and Development, supported by AGFUND and in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Technical Education.
