On Wednesday,Her Majesty visited Sweifieh Secondary School for Girls, to launch the online educational platform Edraak’s mathematics curricula for students from kindergarten to grade five (K-5). This new platform is making comprehensive mathematics materials available for free to school learners of all ages on the Edraak K-12 platform.

Her Majesty was joined by Minister of Education and Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Walid Maani, Edraak CEO, Shireen Yacoub, and the school’s principal, Laila Shobaki, for a focus group discussion with teachers, students, and parents who have benefited from the K-12 platform.

The Queen asked the students about the impact the platform has had on their performance and grades. Parents and teachers also shared their experiences with the K-12 platform with Her Majesty, explaining how it has allowed them to support children’s learning journeys.

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

The introduction of K-5 mathematics materials follows the Queen Rania Foundation for Education and Development’s (QRF) successful launch of the Edraak K-12 platform in September 2018, which saw the release of mathematics materials for grades six to 12. 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.

According to Her Majesty's website, The platform’s mathematical content was created following research conducted by Edraak on how to appeal to young learners in a relatable, easy, and seamless manner.


 Based on Edraak’s findings that Arab children between first and third grades spend much of their time watching cartoons, its team incorporated several cartoon characters into its mathematical stream to assist children as they solve problems. However, for Arab fourth graders, who typically experience an educational decline during this transitional year, Edraak designed a puppet named Kurkum to serve as a fun and engaging bridge between teachers and students.

 Speaking at the event, Yacoub highlighted Edraak’s efforts to provide free, high-quality education that caters to the needs of school learners across the Arab world. “This achievement would not have been possible without the collaborations and efforts of various experts from QRF, Queen Rania Teacher Academy, and Google.org,” Yacoub said, adding that Edraak aspires to forge new partnerships to expand the platform’s scope and cover other subjects.

 Yacoub also thanked Edraak’s partners in the local telecommunications sector – namely Zain Jordan, Orange Jordan, and Umniah – who allowed access to the K-12 platform using minimum internet data, making it accessible to those living in remote and disadvantaged areas, including refugees.
