Ruangguru

Solution Summary

In Indonesia, 24 percent of students drop out of high school, and most dropouts are unemployed or limited to work in the informal sector. Formal sector work is often impossible, since almost all jobs require a high school graduation certificate. Through a digital bootcamp, Ruangguru gives dropped-out youth the resources they need to pass their exams and earn their graduation certificate.

The digital bootcamp provides access to test-prep materials, a dedicated tutor for each subject, and a learning consultant to help students strategize a learning path and plan life after graduation. Students use a group-chat based mentoring system and can access the solution anytime, anywhere.
