Have you heard of the School app? I bet you have. Well, even if this is your first time hearing about it, I’ll say that you have some pretty decent luck. Why?
Because the School app is a K12 learning application that helps students in primary and secondary school deepen their knowledge in core subjects like Math, Science and English!, and no, it is not boring. On the contrary, the platform is actually quite fun, engaging and entertaining. What could be better than a learning app that’s fun? Exactly, you can’t think of anything that beats it.
Now that you have a sneak-peek into what Schoola is, let us dive in deeper and see what it is all about.
Launched on the 1st of July, 2020, the Schoola app quickly gained ground as more schools in the northern part of Nigeria became aware of its many benefits and potential to improve the educational system of arewa.
Is the launch of the Schoola app an act of providence? Well, you can certainly say that as its availability to the market couldn’t have come at a better time than when schools were closed and education was halted due to the worldwide pandemic that is Covid-19.
Schoola app helped students who were also greatly affected by the pandemic to quickly get up to speed and close the gap that was created after being left out of academia for months.
One of the app’s co-founders, Mr Abdul Bature, described Schoola as “a gamified blended learning platform, that is curriculum agnostic and multilingual, allowing all schools to create and share customized content with learners”. He further went on to explain that the platform supports physical and remote assessments and rewards the students for doing schoolwork, encouraging them to learn.
Let’s face it, each and every one of us loves to be rewarded when we do something good. We could say that there’s a touch of psychology in the engineering of the app. I mean, students literally get rewarded for doing school work. If that isn’t an awesome way of motivating students, I don’t know what is!
The schoola app was developed in order to address a very important issue here in arewa. The educational system and overall standard of schools and students have been on a gradual decline over the years, and so innovative entrepreneurs like the Schoola team put together their brains and cooked up this wonderful application.
It is indeed true that not every hero wears a cape. Some sit behind a computer system to make positive changes in their community!
This might come as a surprise to some of our readers but the co-founders of this application are all under the age of 30. Yeah, you read that right, they’re all youngsters with a passion for academia and IT.
A bold technical team at IT Central Kaduna that is led by Nasiru Mustapha, Abdullahi Bature and three others were responsible for the development of this game-changing app.
The team comprises Nasir Mustapha, CEO, a seasoned python engineer who has industry-level skills-building solutions for other startups and companies like Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Abdulalim Ladan, CTO, who builds the mobile applications and Abdul Bature, COO, who contributes to the product, marketing and strategy.
Other members of the current management team are Hajara Bako and Amatullah Macido, both certified educators, who are in charge of deployments and communication respectively.
These are our capeless heroes!
According to one a member of the Schoola team of engineers, Gen Zs are digital natives, who have hardly lived a day of their lives without the Internet or using a gadget. They live in the social media generation and expect content to be fun, engaging and interactive. Schoola has proven to be the right tool that helps schools improve learning outcomes. It allows them to run a parallel- offline and online school keeping learners engaged with school content all the time.
The new learner is distracted all the time, therefore learning has to be fun and engaging at all times!
In the early days of school resumption, Schoola was shared with 50 schools right here in arewa, and what was discovered after its use?
Underperformance and Poor grades by the students especially where it was launched. This was a bittersweet result as you can imagine.
It was bitter primarily due to the poor results obtained by students, is it the educational system at fault, or is it something else entirely? Regardless of what factor is responsible for this, the Schoola team is ever more determined to bring solutions to the table in order to increase the levels of schools and students in the northern part of Nigeria.
On the other hand, it was sweet because The Schoola app served a very powerful second function, which was to highlight the level of performance of the students. No matter how you look at it, Schoola has been a success thus far, and if numbers truly don’t lie, its success projection will see the app climb even higher up the ladder in the not so distant future.
This one here is for the tech enthusiasts, I am quite sure you’re itching to know how the gears turn in the background, allow me to scratch your itch.
A dedicated web interface is available for teachers to create lessons or populate assessment questions. When shared with students, this content turns into a fun, engaging and interactive way for their students to learn.
Students get rewards for completing assignments, tests or any form of the quiz they take on the platform. The Duel & Tournament features to ensure they love to do school work after school and serve as a booster to their performance levels- practice makes perfect!
For teachers, an AI was embedded to help them generate content faster and help with marking subjective quizzes. This increases efficiency and creates more time for research on how they can better educate the new learner.
The school interface is very user-friendly and direct seeing as its target audience is major students between the ages of 12-17. The whole goal is to make learning easier and to keep the student interested. An easy way of achieving that is by making a very user-friendly interface that will Moy serve to drive the students away.
The sections on the app include:
There are some additional display features like Quiz Count which displays the total number of quizzes a particular student has taken. Then there’s the Points display which shows the total amount of points scored by students through quiz and assignment completion.
You might be thinking “Isn’t it a little too early to talk about Achievements and the likes? It only launched in 2020!”
You’ll be surprised to know that Schoola has indeed made some buzz, and not just in the northern part of Nigeria, the buzz goes beyond that.
