Queen Rania visited Sweifieh Secondary School in Amman

On March 6, 2019, Queen Rania of Jordan launched online educational platform Edraak’s mathematics curricula for kindergarten to grade five (K-5) at Sweifieh Secondary School for Girls. The platform makes comprehensive mathematics materials available for free to students of all ages on the Edraak K-12 platform. The platform’s now completed K-12 mathematics materials include over 1,200 instructional videos and 7,500 exercises that range in difficulty, and apply motivational gamification strategies.

Queen Rania then met with former Tawjihi students who completed mathematics, English, chemistry, and physics secondary stage courses on Edraak in previous years. The Queen also attended a training course, where Edraak experts instructed teachers on how to use the K-12 platform and create virtual classrooms.

Building on the success of Edraak’s Continuous Learning platform for adults, the Edraak K-12 platform caters to school-aged children throughout the Arab world. The platform provides students and in addition their teachers and parents, with digital open educational resources (OERs) in Arabic. The platform makes free, high-quality education accessible to millions of children across the region, including those who are out of school due to conflict or displacement.
