SabiTeach, a Nigerian edtech startup, has partnered with Sterling Bark to launch Education Paylater Plan.
The partnership will help candidates interested in taking the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam, PMP (training, exams, and certification), Agile and Data Analysis training do so when they want regardless of their financial capacity at the time, while they “pay small small” over a period of time.
Founded in September 2019 by Wale Ogunjobi, SabiTeach seeks to solve the rising demand for quality teachers in Nigeria and also help teachers make more money through its marketplace.
There’s been a significant decline in the learning outcomes of students in Nigeria over the past 10 years, reducing exam success rates from 40% to less than 20% in major exams. Over 27 million children in school are performing very poorly, hence the need for quality teachers to take charge of students’ learning experience.
The startup has a database of highly trained and experienced tutors around different communities that can be easily accessed using a learning style algorithm. SabiTeach tutors provide both physical learning and virtuals for students.
The cost of the training and the exam registration for IELTS goes for N125,000, which means that each candidate can’t access more than N125,000. While the full package for the PMP certification goes for N400,000 both spread over 8-12 months.
The candidates would be trained by the very qualified and certified SabiTeach tutors who have taken various training with a success rate of 95% so far.
According to the CEO Wale Ogunjobi, “the edtech startup is helping to bridge the educational gap and offering value to people has always been at the core of what we stand for, hence the reason why the Education Paylater plan was launched amongst other people-centered products available on SabiTeach.“
