History

Ayman Sadiq founded 10 Minute School in mid-2014 as a YouTube channel.[4][5][6] Largely self-sponsored in the beginning, 10 Minute School did not initially have a website and solely reached students through educational infographics.[7] It started creating video tutorials for Mathematics and English and eventually started taking live classes on Facebook.[8] 10 Minute School went on to cover the entire academic syllabus from Class 1 to Class 12, university admission subjects covering topics from public and private university examinations and extensive software and skills training.[6]

While one of the major challenges for an organization back then was to find a suitable sponsor to fund its operational activities, it later came to be supported by telecom operator Robi Axiata Limited and the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology.[9]

Content

As of September 2020, the website has produced 19440+ video lessons, 1114+ SmartBooks, 49530+ quizzes and 1300+ blogs.[10][11][12]

Starting in the last few days of July 2020, 10 Minute School got into internet controversy due to content considered to be against Islam by many Bangladeshi Muslims. Later in a video, Aymaan Sadiq apologised for the content, and claimed that all the controversial content had been deleted by the school from all its platforms.

Some people claim that 10-minute school conducts excessive content reproduction.
