Gradely Partners Firm, Launches Remedial School
Funmi Ogundare
Gradely, Nigeria’s first personalised learning platform has announced its partnership with an educational institution, Ehizua Hub.
The hub provides equal access to information and knowledge by empowering individuals through skill-based training and creating access to jobs to create ‘Top Graders Remedial School’, promoting high-quality learning across Africa for as low as N500 per day.
Briefing journalists in Lagos, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gradely, Mr. Boye Oshinuga, said his organisation was bringing digital learning closer to people via the remedial school.
“It is also low-cost and provides a viable alternative to expensive tutorial centres. It is adaptive and personalised, meaning more efficiently in improving weak subject areas,” said Oshinuga. “We are partnering with innovators, educators and sometimes educational institutions like Ehizua hub to do it.”
The hub plans to cater for 100 students in each remedial school, “and we can do up to 10 per local government areas and have 100 schools set up with partners across multiple local governments across various sections of the country.”
Oshinuga added that its vision is to improve learning outcomes for 20 million students by 2030 significantly.
”The remedial school is a room occupied with 20 internet-enabled computers where children can easily access the Gradely app every day at just N500,” he stated. “It is specifically for children who have learning difficulties that need to be remedied as they prepare for entrance exams such as SSCE, post UTME, and common entrance. It is equally for children that attend low-cost private schools, or are home-schooled due to financial struggles and therefore don’t have proper access to quality education.”
According to the Co-founder and Growth Lead at Gradely, Seyi Adelaju, EdTech solutions are a powerful means to learn, especially for Nigerians with limited access to quality education.
The Chairman of the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area, Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, promised to re-route over 500 students for this cause.
