Disharee

Tagline

An Ed-Tech initiative strives to change the future of education and improve learning outcome by enhancing cutting edge technologies

Pitch us on your solution

In Bangladesh, more than 50% of students from primary level dropped out till secondary completion. Whereas only 25-30% students can reach up to university education. Because the education they receive is not able to connect their thinking of future studies, whether they use it or not. It's a common belief among the Bangladeshi students that things they are learning now; won't be useful for their future study or professional life.

Disharee is an Ed-tech platform based on storytelling concept will improve learning process easier and try to connect dots of student's future learning through VR technology.

Our solution will use AI to fetch data from software installed on educational institutions around Bangladesh, analyse those data to improve performance of students and send personalised reports to them directly. That's how Disharee will make education more enjoyable and it will reduce drop-out rates of students on primary level.

Film your elevator pitch

What is the problem you are solving?

About 4-5 Lac students give secondary exam; and 30% of them dropped out till higher secondary completion. The reason behind this problem that students can't sustain their understanding of learning by time. Our education system is vastly based on memorization rather than visualization. Teachers have been failed to help students to visualize their learning on classroom. Science students face this problem deliberately without knowing what will be the future implementation of their learning.

This problem lies in root level; to search this we have to go back to primary level. Teachers aren't trained enough although currently govt. arranged digital multimedia system on schools, but these things are not enough to help students to understand clearly. At the end of the day all are memorizing complex topics to pass exams.

To solve the problem, Disharee will contribute some factors like- to assist teachers teaching students via our offline software where system will show simplified & visualized explanation of every complex topics, our online software will provide students to get personalized process to do their homework; send reports to improve learning outcomes. We'll implement 'Freemium model' for Disharee as students and educators can purchase contents based on their taste and needs.

Who are you serving?

Our target customer is basically the students (primary to secondary level) of Bangladesh. Besides, we will serve educational institutions too. As you know our vision is to improve learning outcomes of students and give them a meaningful future of their current learning; that is why we will directly work with students to improve their performance and reduce drop-out rates.

We have already ran an online survey participated by students from divisional level. From the survey we came to know that about 68% of students believe that their current learning won't be beneficial in future. About 57% students aimlessly decide to take Science or other subjects for their higher studies whereas many students have dreamt about to be a mathematician or a scientist. From this we understand that teachers as well as current education system can't fulfill their need and dream. What if a solution or advance system can motivate them to improve themselves for future. That's the genesis of Disharee.

Primarily, we have been developing animated content for students which will give visualized learning process. To address their needs better, we will develop VR based solution later to help them visualize future outcomes of their learning virtually.

What is your solution?

Disharee will have both offline and online software solution. Our primary mission is to provide offline software solution to educational institution on divisional level of Bangladesh. For Dhaka and other mega cities, we will have online platform where both parties can meet; i.e. independent content developers will provide animated contents maintaining prescribed standard to our platform and it will be visible to students and educators. So, from this platform content developers can earn money as well as students or educators can order & purchase our contents as per their requirements. We will offer schools to purchase our offline solution in future.

Primarily, our goal is to make these contents in Bengali targeting primary and secondary level Bangladeshi students. We will be focusing only STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) subjects on our contents to make topics more enjoyable to them as if they connect their learning with future.

Besides, Disharee will have a VR mobile application which will provide students a personalised learning process whereas students can participate classes virtually. Here, we will use an AI persona (like Siri or Cortana) to make their learning process easier; that AI will help them to connect their understandings with the future implementation. Disharee is a Bengali word means light bearer. This AI will be called Disharee; which will work as a light bearer for students from different levels of education.

This is how we believe that our solution will bring positive change and change the future of our education system making student's learning enjoyable & understandable and reducing drop-out rates on primary & secondary level education of Bangladesh.
