In October 2018, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum launched Madrasa (www.madrasa.org), the Arab world’s biggest e-learning educational platform, which provides 5,000 free Arabized videos in general science, math, biology, chemistry, and physics to support learning for more than 50 million Arab students, from kindergarten to grade 12. In the first three months following its inception, over 1.5 million students joined the platform, generating over 4 million views. The platform is the outcome of the Translation Challenge, the biggest of its kind in the Arab world, which called on translators, researchers, and volunteers to translate 5,000 videos and 11 million words of educational content into Arabic to reach over 50 million Arab students.
