How Classera's Learning Super Platform Helped Mawhiba Reach 94,323 Students and Claim a Global Record in Gifted Education

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | February 16, 2026

 

In an unprecedented national achievement for Saudi education, the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity - known as Mawhiba - has officially registered a new Guinness World Record for the largest number of participants in a cognitive abilities assessment within a single month. This milestone was reached through the 2026 National Gifted Student Identification Program, underscoring Saudi Arabia's growing commitment to discovering and nurturing exceptional talent across the Kingdom.

 

National Gifted Student Identification Program: The Gateway to Gifted Education in Saudi Arabia

The National Gifted Student Identification Program serves as the primary entry point for gifted and talented students seeking access to Mawhiba's full ecosystem of services and development opportunities. Designed to uncover extraordinary potential in the fields of science, technology, and innovation, the program is built on a comprehensive scientific methodology that ensures fairness, accuracy, and transparency throughout the identification process.

 

The program's core objectives include:

• Identifying gifted and high-ability students in STEM fields with precision and scientific rigor
• Establishing an integrated national framework for recognizing talent in alignment with the highest international standards
• Ensuring equity and transparency in student selection and directing participants toward appropriate development and enrichment programs

 

Edition 16: Record-Breaking Participation on a Global Scale

The 16th edition of the National Gifted Student Identification Program (2026) has set new benchmarks in scale, reach, and impact. Implemented in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Education and Training Evaluation Commission (represented by the National Center for Assessment), this edition saw a total of 94,323 male and female students participate, a figure that speaks to the program's growing national prominence.

 

In this edition alone, more than 34,000 gifted students were identified, bringing the cumulative total of discovered talents to over 278,000 since the program's launch. This achievement reflects not only the effectiveness of the program's methodology but also the power of strategic institutional partnerships in scaling educational outcomes.

 

Classera's Role: The Access That Made the Difference

Behind every record-breaking number is a story of strategic collaboration. The Guinness World Record achieved by Mawhiba was not a coincidence; it was the result of a purposeful EdTech partnership with Classera, the region's leading Learning Super Platform.

 

Classera played a pivotal role in amplifying the program's reach by promoting the National Gifted Student Identification Program to millions of students and parents across its platform. This wide-scale digital outreach drove unprecedented registration numbers, directly contributing to the record-setting participation that ultimately qualified Mawhiba for Guinness World Records recognition.

 

By leveraging its vast user base and deep integration within Saudi Arabia's educational ecosystem, Classera demonstrated that a well-positioned EdTech platform can be far more than a digital classroom; it can be a catalyst for national achievement.

 

A Record That Reflects the Power of Strategic Educational Partnerships

Officials from Mawhiba and its partner organizations confirmed that the Guinness World Record, combined with the participation of more than 94,000 students in the 2026 assessment cycle, reflects the maturity and effectiveness of the National Gifted Student Identification Program's ecosystem.

 

This landmark achievement is the culmination of coordinated efforts among the Ministry of Education, Mawhiba, and the Education and Training Evaluation Commission, institutions united by a shared vision: to discover, nurture, and develop the capabilities of gifted students while providing them with the environment they need to innovate, excel, and elevate Saudi Arabia's standing on the global scientific stage.

 

Classera continues its journey as a strategic technology partner within Saudi Arabia's educational landscape, reaffirming its mission with every milestone: the right learning platform doesn't just transfer knowledge, it opens doors of opportunity for talented minds across the world.
