Tahsil is an interactive platform developed by OHK that leverages human capital from 28 Arabic-speaking countries to address imbalances in the region's educator resources. Tahsil is designed to connect education changemakers, who are crucial for improving education, with initiatives that require their skills and expertise. The platform is built on a CRM infrastructure that places a changemaker at the center of the education value chain, managing them as resources that can be mobilized effectively.

Through Tahsil, educator trainers can create skill profiles that showcase their expertise and track record. These profiles enable OHK to effectively match them as valuable human capital for relevant initiatives, ranging from country-wide to community-specific, to offer solutions for improving basic education. The platform's dynamic database and diverse skills-base ensure that they are connected with initiatives that align with their expertise, including training programs, curriculum development, teacher mentorship, and resources for professional development. By facilitating connections between basic education changemakers and initiatives, Tahsil is helping to improve education outcomes across the region. International development initiatives and funding organizations, in particular, can quickly and impactfully mobilize the basic education experts they need to be successful.

"Tahsil" means "collection" or "acquisition" in Arabic. It is an apt name for a database that is focused on acquiring, organizing, and disseminating talent and knowledge among educators. It embodies the platform's goal of gathering and leveraging the best resources and talent to enhance education and create more opportunities for teacher capacity building and teaching effectiveness.
