Mada has launched two platforms on its website that support access to information from available sources in the education, culture and society sectors.

The first platform, which is dedicated for supporting comprehensive digital education, helps support distance education as an initiative that guarantees the comprehensiveness of education for all students, especially those with disabilities, and contains programs and open educational resources.

The second platform, culture and society support, contributes to enabling everyone to access information from available digital sources and services as an initiative aimed at enabling access for people with functional restrictions (persons with disabilities and elderly people) to the available electronic resources and services that an individual needs on a daily basis, such as government services, purchasing services, health services.

“The launch of these two platforms on the center’s website reflects our belief in our mission through which we seek to unleash the potentiality of all persons with disabilities and older people, through capacity-building and support for the development of digital platforms, noting that the two platforms were allocated in accordance with best practices and international standards to support access to information, digital resources and services available in the education, culture and society sectors” said Maha Al Mansouri CEO of Mada Center Maha.
