Co-founder and General Manager of Nafham, Mostafa Farahat, said the website registers approximately 500,000 users monthly during the school year.
Farahat added that the company is targeting increasing the number to one million users by the end of 2015.
He also said that the website will add vocational training videos to help youth acquire the qualifications for the requirements of the labour market.
Nafham will conduct partnerships with a number of large factories, where it will film tours in the factories, using them to create educational videos. This helps in qualifying the youth for working in these factories, in a number of different jobs.
Farahat believes that providing the vocational training videos will be the website’s first step towards presenting tutorials for the industrial and commercial education curricula.
He mentioned that the number of people contributing to the education process through Nafham amounted to around 500, and include students, teachers, and parents, while the target is to double the number in 2016.
Nafham is a company that sprang out of the business incubator, Flat6Labs, in 2013. The website presents tutorials for the curricula of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Kuwait, and Algeria.
