Egypt's iSchool buys software firm Rubikal to expand beyond edtech

Egyptian edtech company iSchool has snapped up software engineering firm Rubikal in a deal that signals its ambition to evolve from a coding school into something closer to a full technology platform for K-12 education. The terms of the transaction were not made public, but the structure of the deal makes the strategic intent clear. Rubikal's entire engineering team, including 21 software engineers and both co-founders, is being absorbed into iSchool's operations. The acquisition is hardly an out of the blue move. Rubikal has been working alongside iSchool as an external engineering partner for the past three years, quietly building and scaling much of the technology that powers its learning platform.
