uLesson intends to use the funds to keep investing in product innovation, improve its key technology, and expand its cohort-based learning capabilities.

In addition to its core science and mathematical content, the company will stretch its secondary level content library to include social sciences and financial accounting, as well as qualitative and quantitative reasoning at the elementary level.

Shagaya expressed his delight at the firm’s achievement of this key milestone, which would enable it to continue providing high-quality, affordable education to all Africans.

ULession is ecstatic to be supported by seasoned investors such as Tencent, who bring a wealth of knowledge from their education technology initiatives.

As a result of its excellent partners, it can expedite its learning in order to better serve the African edtech market.

Founder Collective managing partner David Frankel expressed his belief that entrepreneurs can transform the globe and expressed his optimism that uLesson will establish new benchmarks for education in Africa.

He also mentions that the continent’s immense talent has been kept back for far too long due to a lack of opportunity.

So he couldn’t be a more active fan of Sim Shagaya and his vision for making education more accessible and inexpensive to millions around the world.
