On those lines, an education portal was launched which allows schools and educational institutes to continue tuition through online portals and broadcast channels.
Currently, the portal is being used by 146,498 students and over 18,000 teachers and includes 372 e-books, 1030 educational units, 587 e-lessons, 273 educational materials, 754 sample questions and exams, 30793 exercises, 6582 lessons by school teachers.
Assistant Undersecretary for Curricula and Educational Supervision Ahlam Al-Amer, confirmed that the Ministry has taken many measures, in particular, preparing and uploading numerous new lessons daily, educational materials, mock exams, activities, and short videos to assist the students.
The Ministry of Education has also partnered with the Ministry of Information Affairs to air the educational content from the 22nd of March as well as upload the video lessons onto YouTube for all students to be able to return to the content easily for revision.
