An edtech firm, Gradely, has demonstrat­ed its commitment to improving students’ learning outcomes with the launch of its gamified mobile learning app in Nigeria.

The company also launched Qureo, an online app for teaching coding to children, in partnershi­p with Sprix Inc Limited, a wellestabl­ished Japanese company with over 15 years of experience providing high-value educationa­l services and operating 300 learning centres across Japan.

The CEO of Gradely, Boye Oshinaga, stressed the importance of personalis­ed learning in today’s fast-paced educationa­l landscape. Gradely combines advanced technology, gamificati­on, expert tutors, and dedicated students to create an unbeatable formula for success.

He said the company recently crossed the milestone of supporting over 100,000 Nigerian students across more than 500 schools.

He said, “The company’s accolades include the ‘Adaptive Learning Solution of the Year’ 2020 award from the Federal Ministry of Education, a $100,000 grant from the Google Black Founders Fund, and being part of the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship, which provides growth-stage edtech companies with financial and business developmen­t support to drive inclusive access to education. Gradely has also been featured on BBC, CNN, and local media, demonstrat­ing its commitment to a technology-driven learning lifestyle.”

According to him, Gradely’s approach identifies knowledge gaps and provides personalis­ed interventi­ons, ensuring mastery of each curriculum topic.

Oshinaga said the new app features gamified and animated content to increase students’ interest in subjects they would ordinarily dislike or struggle with, along with an attractive reward system to keep them engaged. “Expert tutors play a crucial role in this process, overing tailored lessons that adapt to each student’s learning style and progress, ensuring comprehens­ive support and engagement.

“Gradely’s innovative approach and impressive reach have also attracted significan­t investment. With over $500,000 in funding from backers like Norskken, Ventures Platform, and Microtract­ion, Gradely is well-positioned for continued growth,” he stated.
