Akeem Salami, an entrepreneur and the brain behind the education technology, Save-A-Lot Media Limited, is set to unveil an indigenous audio-visual classroom app.

The app is “designed to help students learn classroom-based education with ease through audio-visual mechanism”.

In a statement, he said it would be launched at the Academy Halogen, Ikeja GRA, Lagos state, on June 19, 2019.

According to Salami, the proposed classroom-based app will address learning and retention challenges prominent for causing massive examination failure among students.

“We are delighted that in few days, we shall be unveiling Africa’s first ever homegrown education solution to the global community,” Salami said.

“We shall be launching Africa’s first indigenous classroom app designed to enable students in Nigeria, other African countries and globally learn classroom-based education on the go using audio-visual and mobile technology. When it is launched, it will be available on popular mobile app stores.

“Our findings show that the problem of learning and retention are huge and are responsible for academic failures. As such, our design is a well thought-out novel and interactive audio-visual learning solution aimed at helping students in secondary schools, higher institutions as well as professionals including candidates for international examination achieve seamless academic excellence.

“With our app, users will be able to learn at any time and at their own space and speed. To reduce the problem of examination failure in public examination, we have given priority to the West African Examination Council (WAEC) and JAMB syllabuses in our flagship contents ready to be launched.

“It will surely be a wholesome education solution. Today, digital education is one of the new pop cultures globally and it is the way to go, especially with the increasing use of mobile phones in Nigeria and most parts of the world.”
