UPGRADE
Pushing Education To The Next Step
UpGrade
Imagine a tool that allows you to measure the effect of every educational intervention on a student's future success, and personalize the road leading them to self realization. We're building this tool, today.
"The best way to predict the future is to create it"
Peter Drucker
Our Goal
We empower decision-makers in the education system to emphasize educational impact and give them access to real-time indications of the effectiveness of the educational processes, from the individual student to the a system-wide level, including:
-
Early forecasting of students at risk of dropping out and failure to complete final exams.
-
Identification of future negative trends in schools and districts.
-
A measure of effectiveness for educational interventions.
-
Personalization of an appropriate intervention program for each student.
Our Technology
Using existing data held by schools and districts, and a Big Data approach, we create predictive models for educational achievements based on past data. The models are personalized per each school's educational goal, and enable forecasts for students, intervention programs, schools and districts.
