According to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018, Indonesia scored lower than other OECD countries in reading, mathematics, and science. The 2018 survey placed Indonesian students among the lowest ranks in reading, math, and science measurements. PISA is a triennial survey of 15-year old students that assesses the extent to which they have acquired the key knowledge and skills essential for full participation in society.
Indonesia ranked 7th from the bottom (73rd) in the mathematics category, with an average score of 379, down from being ranked 63rd in 2015. While in science, Indonesia is ranked 9th from the bottom (71st), with an average score of 396, down from 62nd in 2015. Since its first participation in PISA back in 2001, Indonesian students’ performance in science has fluctuated but remained flat overall.
To help address the problem, Abhay Saboo, Marc Irawan, and Sandeep Devaram founded edtech startup CoLearn last year. CoLearn is an edtech that focuses on three main subjects: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry for K-7 to K-12 students (SMP and SMA). “The reason why we focus on these three subjects is none other than the future jobs opportunity. According to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) report last year, almost all future jobs would need all the skills related to maths,” says Abhay Saboo, co-founder and CEO of CoLearn.
