What is the name of the 1970s state educational television programme, produced by the Ministry of Education, that taught an entire generation to read and write by following a fictional village family?

Answer: Madrasat al-Hayah (School of Life) — Madrasat al-Hayah ('School of Life'), a serialized educational drama funded by UNESCO and the state, wove literacy lessons into the storylines of a rural family in the Delta — it was broadcast nationally in the 1970s and is credited with significantly reducing adult illiteracy by reaching women who could not attend formal classes.
