The programme introduces mathematical concepts to children through proactive learning resources such as books and tablets. To implement the programme, Qudra will collaborate with schools where Cambridge Mathpro-programmes can be integrated with classroom teaching.
The founder of Qudra, Khadija is a winner of Zubair SEC’s Direct Support Programme for the year 2017. As part of Zubair SEC’s efforts to promote social impact through business and support young social entrepreneurs, Khadija’s company Qudra was selected for the Direct Support Programme’s Social Entrepreneurship Seat for the clear social development mission at the core of the business model.

Cambridge Mathpro-Programmes will be a new course that Qudra will be adding to the list of services it offers.
Speaking of the agreement, Khadija said, “Introducing this programme is a major milestone for Qudra. Zubair SEC advisers met with the original creators of this programme in India. The Cambridge Mathpro-Programmes has been developed in India after many years of research.
“Through this programme, teachers will be able to ignite a joy among children for learning math. The programme will help children better comprehend the basic mathematical concepts. I am sure schools in Oman will benefit immensely from this programme if they decide to introduce it.”
