A global conversation about AI and education.
edTalks brings together teachers, school leaders, parents and curious learners from around the world to talk honestly about how artificial intelligence is changing learning — the promise, the worry and the practical reality of the classroom.
Meet your host
Hatem Radwan
Education Strategy Director · K–12 Education Leader · Teacher Developer · EdTech Strategist
Hatem is an education and education-technology leader with more than 18 years of experience across classroom teaching, school leadership, teacher development, educational technology, wellbeing and large-scale education strategy.
His work spans the Middle East, Africa and Asia, helping ministries, government agencies, education authorities and institutional partners turn technology into measurable improvements in teaching and learning.
“As an educator, I've always believed in the strength of our message — to the world, and to the universe.”
The journey
From classroom to system-level transformation
Hatem began as a Biology teacher before moving into departmental leadership, educational technology, positive education, teacher development and education strategy. His career includes leadership roles at Dubai International School, Al Ittihad Private School, NetDragon Websoft and NDX.
That progression gives him a view of education at every level — from the reality of an individual classroom to professional learning, school leadership, technology implementation and government strategy.
Education strategy
Technology shaped around learning
Hatem works at the intersection of pedagogy, technology and policy. He believes digital transformation succeeds only when technology connects with curriculum, teacher capability, student needs, implementation strategy and measurable educational outcomes.
AI in education
Teacher empowerment, not replacement
Hatem explores how AI can support lesson preparation, content development, assessment, differentiation and professional learning while confronting teacher readiness, student safety, equity, data governance and responsible use.
Human-centred education
Keep relationships at the centre
His background in wellbeing and social-emotional learning shapes a simple principle: technology should give teachers more time for judgement, empathy, mentorship and meaningful human interaction — not push those qualities aside.
Teacher development
Transformation happens in the classroom
Practical classroom experience grounds Hatem's work with teachers. The focus is not only how to operate new tools, but how to integrate them thoughtfully into teaching practice and improve learning.
Why edTalks
Better education systems, with teachers and human learning at the centre.
Through edTalks, Hatem brings together classroom experience, education leadership, technology strategy and international perspectives. Every conversation asks not only what new technology can do, but how we should use it to build better education systems.
