Tahrir Academy

Tahrir Academy (Arabic: أكاديمية التحرير) is a non-profit online collaborative learning platform[1] that aims to build the biggest Arabic video library[2] to provide educational content to the 13- to 18-year-old Egyptian youth demographic[3]

The website features more than 400 educational videos[4] classified into courses in three main categories: Natural Sciences and well-being; which they name "Life", Human Sciences and Languages "Humans", and Mathematics and Technology "Numbers". The available courses cover subjects ranging from Physics, Astronomy, Arabic grammar, in addition to experiments for elementary and secondary school students which they don’t get the chance to actually perform these experiments in school.[5]

During its first year, Tahrir Academy achieved more than 2.5 million views on YouTube[6] through producing educational videos based on crowdsourcing knowledge from their pool of volunteers and experts who help provide content, revise and produce it in an unconventional, attractive way.[7] Today Tahrir Academy delivered lessons through achieving more than 4.5 million views[8] making them from the top educational channels in MENA on YouTube.[9]
