UAE launches new e-learning platform for students in remote areas

WAM

The newly launched e-learning platform will support learning for Arab students living in villages, remote areas and refugee camps with no internet access.

Titled 'Madrasa’, the e-platform will provide 5,000 free Arabised videos in science, maths, biology, chemistry and physics to students from kindergarten to Grade 12 through four innovative offline solutions.

After greenlighting the initiative, His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, highlighted that the initiative is the "first phase to cover remote areas across the Arab World".
