What specific problem are you solving?
The Guinean education system faces three major problems:
1. Inadequate teaching staff. There is a critical shortage of teachers in rural and semi-urban areas.
2. Inadequate teaching materials. Students and teachers living in rural and semi-urban areas experience enormous difficulty obtaining teaching materials consistent with the national curriculum.
3. Overcrowded classes. The majority of Guinean students study in public schools. In these schools, classes average 100 students. Faced with this situation, teachers are forced to deliver the same instruction to all students, without taking into account each student's level.
To cope with this situation, parents often resort to hiring tutors to work at home. But instead of promoting understanding of lessons, this situation generally leaves children in a state of confusion, as they are caught in the middle of disagreements between the lessons given at school and those given at home.
What is your solution?
Magoé Education is an online review application that facilitates learning and course comprehension by creating a synergy of action between the various stakeholders in the education system. Administrative staff, teachers, students, and parents all have their own Space and can interact according to their preferences. From their phones, they can access their data in real time, in a secure environment, wherever they are, even without an internet connection.
We have integrated into Magoé Education a rich and varied set of courses that align with the national education curriculum. These courses are available in several formats: lesson sheets, interactive exercises, videos, audio, educational games, and cartoons. This content is accessible even without an internet connection.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Magoé Education is aimed at all stakeholders in the education system: students, teachers, school administrators, and parents. Its primary goal is to improve course comprehension and combat early school leaving.
Today, more than 4,000 students use Magoé Education every day. While using Magoé, it records everything a student does: from the number of correct answers to an exercise, to the time it takes to answer a question, to the items they move on the screen. A machine learning algorithm integrates all this data to provide a personalized learning experience for each student. And the more time a student spends on Magoé Education, the better it gets to know them and offers them tailored content.
All data collected on students is available to teachers, parents, and school administrators, allowing them to be better equipped to support students throughout their academic journey.
Once they reach high school, by analyzing all the learning data collected on the student from primary to secondary school, the application is able to suggest courses in which they have a better chance of having a good career.
