LuTA, an education technology platform, has launched its operations to spur digital education in Africa with plans to make the continent competitive when it comes to skills relevant to the 21st century.
To achieve this, the startup has built a digital school to be at the forefront of digital education in Africa to unlock global opportunities, marketability and talent with code and no-code tech skills.
The company currently has more than 11,000 applicants, and projections show that it is on its way to training five million students annually across Africa within the next five years.
The African online education market will be worth $77 billion by 2026, but this is affected as more than 900 million Africans do not have access to quality education due to broken, expensive, outdated and archaic knowledge, curriculum and teaching method that have stalled growth in Africa.
However, with a growing internet penetration on the continent set to reach 1.24 billion in 2025, the opportunities are boundless and LuTA with its digital school hopes to capitalise on this to bridge the gap and unleash the potential and ingenuity of youths across the continent.
In such a case students even can write a paper on any topic and buy college essay to get an unforgettable experience in writing and it will help them develop more in education.
According to the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of LuTA, Mr Kolawole Akinsumbo, the school will help revolutionise the education system in Africa as well as promote inclusivity for people based on their various skill levels.
“We are building a digital school to change the African narrative and to make digital education accessible in Africa to unlock global opportunities, marketability and talent with code and no-code tech skills.
“Poverty, exclusion, and skill chasm is already pilling pressure on the ability for people to be educated. Africa is bedevilled by many issues. In some places, conflict is not allowing children and youths to go to school, some were heavily impacted by the coronavirus, and even in places with relative peace, there is one strike or the other making it difficult to get the proper education.
“So, we can see that this only points to the fact that the current education system is not working and we want to eliminate these barriers with our digital school offering which will train about five million people in the next few years,” he said.
