Micro-credentials

The challenge

Many adult and out-of-school learners have limited access to digital learning because of connectivity, device and infrastructure limitations.

Ekima’s contribution

Ekima is supporting IAE to digitise IPOSA micro-credentials and deploy an offline-first learning app for tablets, so learners can access interactive content, assessments and learning resources with or without internet.

CSSC Centralised School Admissions

Online Admission
Payments
Multi-School

The challenge

Church-owned schools managed admissions independently, making it hard for parents to discover schools, apply, pay and track applications through one simple process.

Ekima’s contribution

Ekima built a centralised admission platform for CSSC schools. Parents discover schools, apply, pay and track their admission status in one place, while schools get digital tools to manage applications.
