The Amman-founded edtech company betting that schools want one connected ecosystem - not ten disconnected apps.
Most schools run on a tangle of software - a system for grades, another for fees, a third for admissions, a spreadsheet for the clinic. Edunation's founding idea was subtraction: what if it were all one platform?
Edunation LTD, founded in Amman in 2013 by Firas Jabbour and Mahmud Gabareen, builds EdunationOS - a cloud-based platform that consolidates a school's academic, operational, financial and wellbeing systems into a single connected ecosystem. Rather than sell a single tool, the company assembles roughly sixteen modules that share one login, one database and one interface.
The platform is designed for how schools in its region actually look: multi-campus, multilingual and mid-migration between the physical classroom and the virtual one. EdunationOS supports more than one curriculum at a time and offers a fully bilingual interface across 24 languages - details that matter in markets where international and national curricula sit under one roof.
Its customers are K-12 schools, higher-education institutions and multi-campus school groups, mostly across the Middle East and North Africa. Named schools include Ahliyyah & Mutran and Cambridge High School in Jordan and Al Resala Bilingual School in Kuwait. When the pandemic forced classrooms online in 2020, Edunation's user base grew roughly 1,200% in a single year - and, crucially, many of those schools stayed once the crisis passed.
The problem it solves is quiet but real: the daily friction of running a school on disconnected systems. When admissions, learning, assessment, finance and wellbeing live in separate silos, staff spend their time reconciling data instead of using it. Edunation's pitch is fewer logins, fewer spreadsheets, and one place where a principal can actually see what is happening.

Edunation builds EdunationOS, a cloud-based platform that unifies a school's academic, administrative, financial and wellbeing systems into a single connected ecosystem for K-12 and higher-education institutions.
It was founded in 2013 in Amman, Jordan, by Firas Jabbour (CEO) and Mahmud Gabareen (CTO).
Edunation raised a $3 million round in June 2021 led by US-based VC Rubix, following earlier pre-seed (2014) and seed (2019) backing from angel investor Dr. Abdul Malek Al Jaber.
Primarily the Middle East and North Africa - including Jordan, Palestine, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE - with expansion plans toward Egypt, Oman and Bahrain.
Instead of a single tool, it offers around 16 integrated modules - covering learning, student information, assessment, finance, wellbeing and logistics - with multi-campus, multi-curriculum and 24-language support in one platform.
