Our Story

Salek Academy’s story begins with a passionate vision to bring quality education to students in remote and underserved communities through the power of technology. Recognizing that students in these areas are most effectively reached through public school systems and NGOs, which often struggle to recruit seasoned teachers to work in remote locations, we sought a solution. Our initial attempt was to facilitate remote connections, enabling experienced teachers from well-resourced areas to support local teachers on the ground.

However, we soon realized that both local and remote teachers faced difficulties in effectively using the collaborative platform. This challenge led us to change course: to truly make a difference, we needed to empower teachers by providing them with the knowledge to use technology and designing platforms that are effortless to integrate into their teaching.

With this insight, we began collaborating closely with teachers to identify barriers to using educational technology. Salek Academy’s mission evolved to focus on two main goals: first, creating educational content for educators based on the latest that the science of learning has to offer, and second, making technology so user-friendly that it required minimal effort from teachers to integrate into their classrooms.

Salek Academy began by producing educational videos and disseminating professional articles on scientific learning principles and the transformative impact of technology. Teachers were shown how to harness these advancements. Later, our efforts expanded to include an interactive assessment service, allowing teachers to assign and manage homework and assessments online effortlessly.

Today, Salek Academy is harnessing the power of Generative AI models to assist teachers in various aspects of their work, from course planning to designing assessments and tutoring students. Our journey is far from over, as we remain committed to guiding teachers through the ongoing educational revolution. Our aim remains to make learning more impactful for individuals and societies, ensuring it is equitable and accessible for everyone, everywhere.
