Breaking Barriers to Education: The World’s First Ed-Tech Marketplace Launches Globally

January 12, 2022

Headquartered in New York, WooStudy, the world’s first AI-powered Ed-Tech Marketplace, has launched its global operations with presence now in Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Canada, and Bangladesh.

With over 10,000 active students from around the world and more joining in every day, WooStudy is the world’s first Ed-Tech platform, that matches and connects students with their best-fit schools directly for free, thus eliminating the admissions cost.

Arif Khan and Maryam Khan, the power duo, founded WooStudy in 2019, with the aim to remove barriers to education. Working with Fortune 500 companies coupled with a Master’s degree in Education the co-founders had a unique insight into the complications faced by students and schools pertaining to the admission processes. They were further joined in their mission by Dinesh Mittal, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in new business start-ups in Technology and Hospitality industries.

“Having experienced both ends of spectrum, we realized how difficult and expensive it is for students to apply to colleges internationally. Finding their best-fit is a laborious process requiring intensive research, not to mention the immense broker costs that makes studying abroad virtually inaccessible to most aspiring students”, said Ms. Khan when asked about the vision behind WooStudy.

The one-of-its-kind AI-enabled platform successfully raised $100K in its pre-seed round in February, 2021. WooStudy’s propriety algorithm leverages Big Data and AI to automate the entire admissions to placement process, making it the pioneering AI platform in the ed-tech industry. Now anyone, be it global educational institutes or aspiring students, can join our online community that directly connects best-suited students and universities as per their requirements, with a few simple clicks.

With the mission to make the entire recruitment process hassle-free for both students and educational institutions, WooStudy has partnered with more than 25 well-known international academic institutions and is on-boarding more reputable schools every day. University of Waterloo, CUNY, University of the Potomac, Rowan University are a few of WooStudy’s partner universities, who have connected with hundreds of prospective students to date.

A-levels: Warning over private and state school gap

September 22, 2015

The former schools catch-up tsar says he is worried about the gap in A-level results between state and private school pupils.

Sir Kevan Collins says he is concerned that the “educational legacy of Covid could be growing inequality”.

For independent school pupils in England, 70% of A-level results were A* or A, compared with 39% for comprehensive pupils.

A-level results on Tuesday showed record levels of top grades.

Sir Kevan, speaking on the BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, warned of a “huge risk” of widening social gaps in education in the aftermath of the pandemic.

The gaps were not just between state and private pupils, he said, but also in different parts of the country, warning about parts of the north of England falling behind. In London almost 48% of results were A* and A grades, compared with 39% in the North East.

“We should be thinking about the inequality throughout the system,”

Sir Kevan said the response to helping schools recover after the pandemic would “determine the fate of the English education system” for the next decade.

“We’ve got to get that right,” he said.

In the wake of such high grades in A-levels, with almost 45% getting A* or A grades, there have been suggestions of a change in the grading system, such as adopting the use of a 9 to 1 system such as used in GCSEs.

‘Unrealistic’

But head teachers have said that any short-term change to a numeric system was “unrealistic”.

Paul Whiteman of the National Association of Head Teachers said it took four years to plan the switch to using number grades for GCSEs.

Any change will require “meaningful consultation to ensure the fairest system for students,” he said.

Geoff Barton, leader of the ASCL head teachers’ union, said “rather than tinkering with different grading systems, the government should be concentrating on providing appropriate support for education recovery”.

Exams are already going to be adapted next summer, to take account of lost time in school, but Mr Barton warned it would be “very harsh” on next year’s exam candidates to have grades returned straight down to the pre-pandemic levels of 2019.

Before the pandemic about 25% of results were top grades – this week they were almost 45% – and Mr Barton suggested there would need to be a “staged readjustment” from next year.

Labour’s shadow education secretary Kate Green said the gap between results in state and private schools showed the lack of consistency in how grades were decided.

“The government didn’t set down a clear standardised process early on last year – and schools were really awarding grades in very different ways,” she said.
