Thkee does not publish a few courses in some topic areas or may publish only under a certain criterion. Subject matter may be excluded due to concerns that it is already considered either to be harmful or offensive to students, or because it is otherwise inconsistent with the values and spirit of Thkee.
We highly recommend that you reach out to the Trust & Safety team before building a course on any of the following topics to ensure it will be eligible for publication. Please include as much detail as possible.
It is the instructor's responsibility to ensure their course follows the letter and the spirit of the policy when submitting to the Quality Review Process. However, extensive coaching on how to build or update a course is not available even if the Trust & Safety Team will guide the instructors around the smaller fixes.

Sensitive or Otherwise Inappropriate Topics or Language
Thkee as a global learning platform with enrolled learners ranging from casual hobbyists to professional enterprise customers, we must always take into consideration many sensitivities when evaluating a content.
We will examine not only the kind of topic under discussion, but also how those topics are presented. When providing instruction on a sensitive subject matter, ensure that all the associated course materials treat that subject with care. Ensure to avoid any language and imagery which is inflammatory, offensive, or otherwise insensitive.
Content for Young People
Thkee is not currently set up to support underage learners. Persons under the age of consent (for example, 13 years old in Saudi Arabia or 16 years old in Ireland) may not be able to use the services offered by us. Those under 18 but above the age of consent may use the services only if a parent or a guardian opens their account, handles any enrollments, and manages their account usage.
And as such, please make sure that any subject matter oriented towards young students is clearly marketed to parents and guardians who will be supervising their learning journey. See Section 4 of Thkee’s Terms of Use to learn more.

Thkee deserve the right to add and to modify this list at any point in time. If you see a topic that you believe should not be on the platform, please do not hesitate to raise it for review by clicking the "Report Abuse" at the bottom of the appropriate course landing page.
