Acadasuite gets AFDB support to develop customised learning device for basic education

With support from the African development bank (AFDB), AcadaSuite looks to develop a customised learning device that uniquely provides different teaching methodologies, which promotes indigenous languages both offline and online at the basic education level in Nigeria.

Acadasuite is a novel digital platform that offers quality, accessible and affordable education to all learners in Africa, starting with Nigeria without underlying limitations.

Developed by Nigerian information technology (IT) and software development company, Norak technologies, Acadasuite is a web-based platform that promotes unified curriculum for schools in Nigeria and contributes to social stability and economic advancement of disadvantaged children.

Iheanyichukwu Enyika, the founder and chief executive of Norak Technologies, said users of the digital platform will get a customised solar-powered mobile learning device, which enables students to access education resources offline to help reduce the challenge of internet connection.
