EduMESS, a school management software, has announced a commercial launch into the Nigerian market.
According to the firm, it is set to digitise 500 schools in 2023.
In a statement, the co-founder, Chike Okoli, said, “During the Pandemic, our pilot schools used EduMESS Virtual Classroom features to continue learning while at home.
“We are going to power learning in 500 more schools across the country within the next 12 months and we are expanding into the 36 states of the federation.
“With over 60 per cent of Africa’s population between the age of 3 to 25 and a 2.37 per cent growth rate, education has become a critical part of our life. Technology is needed at every stage to power learning across the board. EduMESS is positioned to empower that across Africa.”
He expressed the belief that EduMESS would make a significant impact on the country’s educational sector.
“I strongly believe in how much impact we can make in the learning experience in Africa. That is why I am obsessed with making sure that we empower, schools, teachers, students, and parents to actively participate in the learning and have fun while doing it.”
According to him, the firm wants to power e-learning solutions and ensure schools in regions or periods where schools are shut, can continue to offer education services.
Okoli noted, “In southeast Nigeria, where there is sit-at-home order due to insecurities, EduMESS has helped schools to continue learning even at home. It is typical for schools to be closed during elections for fear of insecurities. Our mission is to provide solutions to all educational difficulties and to improve the educational system,” Okoli noted.
The firm added that since its pre-launch, it has serviced 60 schools, 15091 students, 72 administrators, 1542 teachers, and 2905 parents.
