education is a fundamental human right

Summary
AKASUKI FOUNDATION will provide a quality digital learning facility for more than 20.000 primary school-age students. While the world becomes increasingly competitive, children in rural areas risk getting left behind by not receiving the quality education they deserve. By providing digital books, interactive learning games, online courses and qualified teachers from all over the world, we hope to improve the learning habits of children, stimulating a sense of curiosity and intellectual development.

Challenge
Many of the public schools surrounding the Yogyakarta area have very little funding. In fact, most of the children only attend school half-days due to the lack of teachers and space. Besides that, not one school in the area provide up to date books to read for the children, let alone a library! Since school hours are limited, the children need a space to learn and develop mentally from a very young age. It is proven that high-quality preschool greatly impacts children living in or near poverty.

Solution
Over the last couple of decades, the education industry has undergone a huge transformation. With the arrival of apps, learning has become easily accessible, which makes it much more interesting for students of all ages. Educational apps now bridge the communication gap between not only parents and teachers, but also kids and teachers. Childhood is important for learning. And because children become smarter and smarter, there is great need to introduce different, advanced learning means and methods.
AKASUKI FOUNDATION will provide a digital learning app with the concept name TEACH ME.

The TEACH ME app allows parents, students, and teachers to interact with each other. For instance, students can communicate with their teachers regarding their educational needs, and parents can stay up to date with their children's progress; this engages kids, as they can get the required attention in order to get a better education. This app enriches the classroom experience without replacing it, and at the same time it provides positive reinforcement and communication among teachers, learners, and parents.

Long-Term Impact
This project aims to improve the quality of education available for children in the community.  It will improve the literacy of children, youth and adults in the surrounding area, enhancing their ability and comfort to use every digital aspect a child needs to survive in this overload of digital information. Let realise an equal world for everyone.
