Education Portal - why didn't I think of something like this?

My dad’s golf buddy showed me a really good online education site for school-going students. The idea is brilliant where the kids can do their revision and take quizzes and mock exams using the portal at home. All they need is a computer and Internet connection. The price of this service is very reasonable too.

The portal consists of the Malaysia Education Board’s past year’s exam papers and compiled other sets of exercises. All in there are at least 1000 questions per subject. What caught my interest most is the portal can update parents with the performance of their kids via email or SMS. Not bad!! Very suitable for parents on the run plus the parent doesn’t have to be IT savvy at all with the available SMS facilities. But if you are a parent and reading this, you must spend a lot of time on the computer .... :)

Kids nowadays spend a lot of time on the computer and enjoy using it. I think it will be really easy to get them to study with this service since you’re asking them to get on the computer. The portal allows the kids to go through every subject and is assessed on the spot.

While I heard about this education portal a few months back, I did not pay much attention because I don’t really know anyone with kids. I would have recommend it to anyone I know with school-going children because it’s a very good idea. I know I’ll like it because I’m half a kid myself. And by doing more exercises and knowing the likes of what could possibly come out in the exams is extremely helpful.

An older cousin was complaining to me about juggling time and her kids and everything that comes when you have a kid – school, tuition, etc. I told her about this education portal thing and it worked for her kids. On top of that it saved her a lot on tuition fees. (They’re charging like mad for tuition these days!!)So if anyone wants to have a look at it, do drop me a mail. Spread the word. Maybe a friend’s neighbour’s great grand-niece can get better grades from this and score that scholarship or something
