Madrasati Platform: Sign-In, Classes, Assignments, Exams 2026

Madrasati is Saudi Arabia's digital learning interface, run by the Ministry of Education. Launched in August 2020 for remote learning during COVID-19, after schools reopened it evolved into a daily complement: assignments, short quizzes, resources, and make-up classes for absent students. Official URL: schools.madrasati.sa.

Madrasati is built on Microsoft Teams for Education

The platform isn't a standalone app — it's an education interface on top of Microsoft 365 Education. Every user has an official account in the form:

• Student: <ID-number>@madrasati.sa
• Teacher: <name or employee number>@madrasati.sa
• Guardian: signs in from the Noor account directly, routed to Madrasati when needed.

This means technical issues sometimes originate in Teams itself rather than Madrasati.

First-time student sign-in

| Step | Detail | |---|---| | 1 | Class teacher or school provides the initial password (visible to the guardian in Noor) | | 2 | Open schools.madrasati.sa — routed to Microsoft | | 3 | Enter email: id-number@madrasati.sa | | 4 | Enter the initial password | | 5 | System requires immediate change — choose a strong password | | 6 | Add a recovery email and phone number |

Once signed in you see: your schedule, Assignments, Files, Classes as Teams, and your personal files on OneDrive (1 TB free).

Daily use

Attending virtual classes

• At class time, a "Join" link appears in the class tab.
• Required: camera sometimes on, mic muted by default, correct full name.
• Absence is auto-logged if you don't join within the first 10 minutes.

Submitting assignments

• Assignments appear under Assignments for each subject.
• You can upload: PDF, Word, image, short video.
• After upload, a "Turn in" button appears — the submission counts only after you press it.
• Teacher grades and returns the file with comments and a score.

Short quizzes

• Also via Assignments, or as Forms links.
• Timed (typically 5-20 minutes).
• Answers lock automatically at time expiry.

Madrasati for guardians

Guardians don't need a madrasati.sa email. They enter from Noor → "Madrasati" tab, and see:

• Open and submitted assignments for the child.
• Grade for each assignment.
• Upcoming classes and absences.
• Weekly reports of student performance.

Common technical issues

| Issue | Cause | Fix | |---|---|---| | "Incorrect password" | Not changed after first login or update forgotten | Use microsoftonline.com/forgotpassword | | "Account not found" | Not activated in Noor or new student | Contact school principal | | Class not visible | Not yet assigned or summer/holiday | Ask the teacher | | Audio not working in class | Browser settings | Use Teams app instead of browser | | Exam timer frozen | Internet issue | Do not close the page, contact teacher immediately |

Tips for guardians

• A fixed study spot: even a small corner with a device.
• Check assignments on Sunday: before the week starts.
• Don't do assignments for your child: the system detects writing patterns across years.
• Weekly check-in beats daily: one solid day per week is enough for a serious guardian.

For Expatriate Parents in Saudi Arabia

If you're an expat parent whose children are enrolled in Saudi public schools (allowed under specific bilateral agreements) or in international schools that mirror the Saudi curriculum, Madrasati works for your children the same way. Key points:

• Language switching: the platform interface is Arabic by default. Microsoft Teams itself has full English support — switch your Teams language from settings if you or your child prefers English notifications.
• Communication with teachers: teachers respond in Arabic. Use Teams' built-in translation feature (right-click a message → Translate) to bridge the gap, or install Google Translate as a Teams add-in.
• Cross-culture context: some assignments assume Saudi cultural context (Islamic studies, Saudi history). International-school children in Saudi curriculum tracks receive these lessons too — help your child engage with them thoughtfully.
• Data privacy under Saudi PDPL: SDAIA's Personal Data Protection Law applies regardless of nationality. Your child's data is protected under the same rules as Saudi students.

Madrasati vs Other Saudi Ed Platforms

The Ministry of Education runs several complementary platforms. Understanding each avoids confusion:

| Platform | Role | Who uses it daily | |---|---|---| | Madrasati | Classes, assignments, quizzes | Student and teacher daily | | Noor System | Registration, transcripts, transfers | Guardian a few times per term | | iEN Portal | Enrichment content library | Student optionally for review | | Sanad | Special education support | Families of students with disabilities |

Madrasati is the assessment hub; Noor is the record hub; iEN is the learning library. Each covers a different piece — you generally need at least Madrasati and Noor active.

Data Retention and Post-Graduation

Once your child graduates from a Saudi school, their Madrasati data persists in the Ministry's records but the account itself may be deactivated for daily use. Records (grades, assignments submitted, teacher feedback) remain accessible through Mowaad for verification purposes — useful when applying to universities that request academic history verification. This retention is governed by SDAIA's PDPL Executive Regulations which mandate specific retention periods for educational records.
