Augmented learning
Technology is pushing schools to shake up their offering. Ledetta Asfa-Wossen spoke to Guillermo Delso Segovia, learning and business manager at SEK Education Group, about personalised learning, robotics, interactive set-ups and integrated programmes that reflect the changing world of work.
SEK Education Group has several international schools across Europe and the Middle East catering to families and students across the globe. Tell us a bit about your role. I specialise in leading business intelligence projects. I work closely with cross-functional teams to define project objectives, scope and deliverables, ensuring they align with SEK’s strategic goals. One aspect that has made this role particularly fascinating is the integration of AI. AI is transforming the field, making it more dynamic and exciting. I’m enthusiastic about the impact we can make on our students with this technology.
How long has SEK Education Group been going and who do you serve? The SEK Education Group was founded in 1892. We currently manage schools in seven countries – Spain, France, Ireland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman – in addition to our recently launched IB Global Online School, which is one of only four schools in the world authorised to offer the IB online. Four of our schools offer boarding options and we accommodate more than 300 international students. In total, SEK schools cater to more than 7,000 students worldwide, from more than 80 nationalities. Regionally, our four schools in the Gulf are accommodating over 1,500 students from more than 70
nationalities and we’re expecting to grow to more than 3,000 students in the next two years.
How are you using technologies in SEK
Education Group’s schools to improve your education offering? Technology and innovation are vibrant at SEK International Schools. We combine the most up-to- date learning resources and the latest technology in our classrooms, including iPads, robotics and smart boards, using our innovative intelligent classroom methodology to deliver state-of-the-art, student-centred education. Our first principle is that any student can learn
anywhere and at any time. The second is that any student should have access to the tools and content necessary for their learning. The third is that any student should have continuous contact with all their classmates to develop real collaborative work. And finally, every student should have tools on which to reflect on their learning process and the results of it. The role of technology in this process is key. That’s
why we created MySEK – a digital ecosystem with several personalised applications for all members of our educational community. This ecosystem contains tools for video conferencing; collaborative work; educational challenges and projects that can be used by both students and teachers. It gives students immediate
