Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is accelerating one of the world’s most ambitious education transformations. What began as a long-term national aspiration has become a rapid, measurable shift toward AI-powered, collaborative, and digitally connected learning environments. Today, classroom technology decisions, especially around interactive displays and digital learning ecosystems, directly influence how well schools can align with national goals, support teachers, and prepare students for a knowledge-driven economy.

This article combines the latest Vision 2030 developments with practical guidance for school leaders, IT managers, and procurement teams evaluating next-generation classroom technology, and shows how BenQ’s education solutions are built to deliver on every dimension of this transformation.

Saudi Arabia’s education modernization is being shaped by several major national initiatives that have gained significant momentum through 2025–2026.

Saudi Arabia is now embedding AI education starting from Grade 4, making it one of the first countries globally to integrate AI at scale across all public schools.

• Over 6 million students are being prepared with AI literacy.
• Teachers are being trained to use AI for lesson planning, assessment, and personalized learning.
• The national approach emphasizes learning through AI, not just learning about it.

Delivering on this vision requires classroom technology that supports AI-enhanced teaching from the display itself, not just streamed from the cloud.

The BenQ Board RP05 Pro - BenQ’s latest and most advanced interactive display, is powered by Android 15 and a dedicated 10 TOPS Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the only true NPU available in large-format interactive displays. This means AI runs directly on the board: faster, more responsive, and fully private without transmitting student data to external servers. The RP05 comes with BenQ AI, a built-in suite of smart teaching tools designed to make every lesson more engaging, efficient, and intuitive:

• Ask AI — Teachers and students get instant answers on the spot, directly on the display. No browser switching or extra apps required, keeping the lesson flowing without interruption.
• Lasso Search — Simply circle any image on the board to instantly surface curated, relevant information about it. A powerful tool for inquiry-based learning that encourages curiosity and real-time discovery.
• EZMath — Converts handwritten formulas, shapes, and diagrams into neat, legible digital content in real time, and even performs mathematical calculations. Ideal for STEM lessons where precision and speed matter.
• Circle to Artify — Transforms student notes and sketches into polished artwork across three distinct styles, making creative subjects more immersive and giving students a new way to express learning visually.
• AI Guardian — Automatically blocks inappropriate images or videos shared from student devices before they appear on screen, keeping the classroom focused and safe.
• Text Translation & Text-to-Speech — Supports 59 languages with instant on-screen translation, and converts text to natural-sounding speech, valuable for inclusive classrooms and students with reading challenges.

All BenQ AI features are built with full data privacy: BenQ AI never stores or collects personal data, and information is only processed when requested, giving schools the confidence to embrace AI-enhanced teaching without compromising student safety.

The Saudi Academic Framework for AI Qualifications standardizes AI degrees and certifications across higher education, with global tech partners helping scale AI skills to reach 1 million learners by 2030.

Vision 2030 updates highlight unprecedented infrastructure expansion:

• 120 new schools opened in 2025 through private-sector partnerships
• 1,069 new private schools supported
• 75 construction projects worth SAR 920M
• 15,000+ school buildings received major maintenance
• 1,400 buildings renovated

This modernization demands classroom technology that is durable, centrally manageable, and future-ready, capable of scaling across hundreds of campuses simultaneously.

BenQ’s Device Management System (DMS) and Account Management System (AMS) allow IT teams to configure, deploy, update, and monitor every BenQ Board across a school group from a single dashboard, remotely and at scale. This directly addresses the operational challenge of managing technology across Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding school infrastructure.

Saudi Arabia is forming strategic partnerships with global EdTech leaders to accelerate classroom transformation at scale. BenQ has emerged as a key partner in this effort, celebrating five consecutive years as the #1 interactive display brand in the Middle East, with over 50,000 display installations across classrooms and educational institutions, and more than 1,000 post-installation teacher training sessions conducted across the region.

BenQ’s partnerships extend beyond hardware. MagicSchool, the leading AI platform empowering over 2 million teachers globally, is now available directly on BenQ Boards, enabling AI-assisted lesson planning, adaptive learning pathways, and personalized instruction from the interactive display itself. Within Saudi Arabia, institutions such as Al Awael School have already deployed BenQ solutions as part of their commitment to future-relevant education that goes beyond traditional teaching methods.

These partnerships reinforce the Kingdom’s goal of building globally competitive digital talent and directly support Vision 2030’s mandate to equip every classroom with intelligent, future-ready learning tools.

As Vision 2030 accelerates digital adoption, interactive displays are no longer standalone teaching tools; they are central hubs for AI-enabled learning, cloud collaboration, and digital content delivery. Schools now expect classroom technology to deliver:

• Native Arabic-language support
• Integration with Madrasati, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams
• Centralized remote management for multi-campus deployments
• Long-term security, OS updates, and platform reliability
• Compatibility with AI-driven learning tools and cloud ecosystems

These are no longer optional features; they are essential for alignment with national education goals.

Arabic-first functionality is critical for Saudi educators. Interactive displays must support right-to-left writing, localized interfaces, and seamless Arabic annotation, without requiring workarounds or additional software.

The BenQ Board RP05 Pro and RM04 Master series feature a fully localized Arabic UI and right-to-left writing support within EZWrite 6, BenQ’s interactive whiteboarding software. Teachers can create, annotate, and share lesson content naturally in Arabic while maintaining a streamlined classroom workflow. Both boards also integrate smoothly with Madrasati, ensuring alignment with the Kingdom’s national digital learning ecosystem.

Effective classroom technology in Saudi Arabia must do more than support Arabic language, it must respect and reflect the daily rhythms of Islamic school life.

BenQ’s X-Sign Broadcast includes a Prayer Time integration developed specifically for Islamic schools, allowing institutions to automatically display reminders for the five daily prayers across all connected BenQ Boards and smart projectors. School administrators can schedule and broadcast Prayer Time reminders centrally, ensuring consistency across every classroom and campus without disrupting ongoing lessons. This reflects BenQ’s commitment to global innovation with local sensitivity, ensuring technology supports cultural identity as well as educational progress.

With many Saudi schools operating on Google Workspace for Education or Microsoft 365, platform compatibility is essential. Displays that cannot fully support these ecosystems create unnecessary complexity for teachers and IT teams alike.

The BenQ Board RP05 Pro is EDLA-certified, offering direct access to Google Play, native Google Classroom and Google Meet support, and full Google Workspace integration. Running on Android 15, the platform delivers enhanced security, long-term compatibility, and future scalability. For international schools and digitally advanced institutions expanding across the Kingdom, EDLA certification has become a key procurement requirement.

As school groups expand and digital transformation accelerates, centralized management is crucial. IT teams need to maintain consistency and security across hundreds of classrooms without adding administrative burden.

BenQ’s Device Management System (DMS) and Account Management System (AMS) allow IT teams to:

• Configure and deploy devices remotely
• Push updates and security settings centrally
• Sync user accounts with Google Workspace
• Monitor device health and usage from a unified dashboard

This reduces IT workload and ensures consistent performance across campuses, critical for a Kingdom investing in hundreds of new schools simultaneously.

Saudi Arabia’s climate and school usage patterns require displays that can withstand heavy daily use, high ambient light, and dust exposure, while keeping students healthy and comfortable throughout the learning day.

BenQ’s ClassroomCare® technologies include:

• Eyesafe® Certified 2.0 with RPF®50 blue light protection
• TÜV-certified germ-resistant screens
• IP5X dust-resistant design for enhanced durability in regional environments

These features support student well-being and ensure long-term reliability, critical for large-scale deployments across Saudi Arabia’s diverse school environments.

Saudi Arabia’s education transformation is accelerating faster than ever. Schools are now prioritizing technologies that support AI-driven learning, collaboration and interactivity, digital literacy, cloud-based teaching workflows, and scalable IT management.

Choosing the right interactive display is no longer about hardware specifications; it is about selecting a platform that aligns with Vision 2030, supports teachers at every level, and delivers long-term value for students and institutions alike.

BenQ’s education solutions, from the AI-powered RP05 Pro with its on-device NPU, to the EDLA-certified RM04 Master, centralized DMS/AMS management tools, culturally designed X-Sign Broadcast with Prayer Time, and the MagicSchool AI integration, are built to help schools across Saudi Arabia create future-ready classrooms that meet the demands of modern learning and the Kingdom’s national digital transformation goals.
