Kaltura’s Israeli school pilot starts with grades 7–8 STEM

Kaltura says classroom use is underway after teacher training in a one‑year pilot across 20 schools serving approximately 2,000 students. Its [November 3 announcement](https://investors.kaltura.com/news‑releases/news‑release‑details/kaltura‑selected‑israels‑ministry‑education‑power‑personalized) places initial work in seventh- and eighth‑grade mathematics and science during 2026–2027, with Hebrew and Arabic available. Avatar conversations, practice and teacher progress dashboards describe the workflow; the release supplies no independent learning‑gain evaluation.

[English and other language studies](https://investors.kaltura.com/news‑releases/news‑release‑details/kaltura‑selected‑israels‑ministry‑education‑power‑personalized) are planned next. Extending across grades and subjects nationally is a programme goal. Administrators should distinguish this cohort from later expansion; the announcement does not establish public enrolment or student‑data retention terms.
