What is Madrasa?

Madrasa (meaning school in Arabic) is the largest e-learning project in the Arab world, providing more than 5,000 educational videos to 50 million students for free across the region.

How does Madrasa work?

The platform can be accessed on www.madrasa.org and through Android and iOS systems, giving students from KG to grade 12 a chance to navigate through translated math and science material of high academic quality.

On the website, a search engine on the homepage allows students to look for what they would like to learn on the platform for the day.

Alternatively, they have the option to pick from five different channels, which include general science, math, biology, chemistry and physics.

They are then directed to several branches of math and science from which they can choose from.

What is the $1,000 for 1,000 days initiative?

As part of the launch of the platform, a competition was also rolled out for students, which will give away $1 million worth of rewards.

Arab students have a chance to win $1,000 for answering one question a day for 1,000 days.

They can participate through the website and once they submit the correct answer they are eligible to enter a draw.

All students have to do is register on the website, read the question of the day, watch its related video, and then submit their answers to enter the raffle draw.

The competition gives away $1 million (Dh3.67 million) worth of awards.
